Post Grad arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The jokes in Post Grad land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Ryden Malby has a master plan. Graduate college, get a great job, hang out with her best friend and find the perfect guy. But her plan spins hilariously out of control when she’s forced to move back home with her eccentric family. The chemistry Alexis Bledel and Zach Gilford bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It hit screens in 2009. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Post Grad holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Post Grad is a strong candidate. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Alexis Bledel's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
