Looking for shows I can fall asleep too with my husband.

The little stuff we did watch in the past couple years was through the easy streaming sites. But those are always prone to missing episodes and random glitches so I thought getting back into torrenting would be fun.

Sidenote: if I remember correctly, its quite normal for some torrents to take a couple hours before a seeder turns up, right?

    Would it still work with subtitles? My husband is deaf so if the comedy works a lot of with tone and stuff it wont work for us.

    Thanks for the suggestion though!

      I think it might work. A lot of what Joe Pera does is sort of deadpan humor anyway, so part of the joke is lack of tone or emotion. His voice is very calming because he’s sort of monotone.

      Here is a link to the full episode of “Joe Pera Talks You Back to Sleep” which is a beautiful episode. Give it a shot and see what you think. The autogenerated closed captioning available on this episode seems mostly accurate to me. DVD copies have great subtitles, not sure about digital variants.

      Hmm it’s not very “haha funny,” it’s more the vibe of it and the charm lies in his mundane but interesting demeanor. Watch a clip on YouTube and you’ll see what I mean. I have no idea how deafness would affect the experience, I’m sorry.
