Cougar Town

Cougar Town is currently streaming in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Hulu, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. 6 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. A 6/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Courteney Cox leads a cast with real comic timing. Available now on Disney Plus — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason Cougar Town keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in Cougar Town land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Jules Cobb is a mom in her forties facing the often humorous challenges, pitfalls and rewards of life's next chapter. Along for the journey is her son, her ex-husband, her husband/neighbor and her friends who together make up her dysfunctional, but supportive and caring extended family... Even if they have a funny way of showing it sometimes. Courteney Cox and Christa Miller lead a cast that never overplays a joke. 6 seasons (2009–2015) gave the story room most shows never get. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Cougar Town holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Cougar Town respects your intelligence. The Four Seasons is the obvious comparison, but Cougar Town earns its own place alongside it. 6 seasons gives the story real room to develop. Courteney Cox's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

Cougar Town wrapped up in 2015, created by Bill Lawrence and Kevin Biegel — and 6 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
