Mr. D

Mr. D has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Lionsgate+ Amazon Channels, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video. With 8 seasons behind it, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. With 32 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Gerry Dee sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Lionsgate+ Amazon Channels.

Mr. D arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Mr. D does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Based on Gerry Dee's real-life experiences as a high school teacher before he switched to comedy full-time, MR. D is a story about a charming, under-qualified teacher trying to fake his way through a teaching job, just like he often fakes his way through life. Gerry Dee and Jonathan Torrens lead a cast that never overplays a joke. It ran for 8 seasons (2012–2018), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Mr. D 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, Mr. D is a strong candidate. Fans of Coach will recognise the sensibility here immediately. 8 seasons in, there is no shortage of material once you get started. Gerry Dee's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

Mr. D wrapped up in 2018, created by Gerry Dee and Michael Volpe — and 8 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
