Netflix has just quietly added what’s been branded the ‘funniest TV show in the world’.
British sitcom Stath Lets Flats, which has been hailed a ‘masterpiece’, first aired on Channel 4 in 2018.
It stars Jamie Demetriou as Stath, an awkward and chaotic estate agent attempting to run his father’s letting agency.
The award-winning series, which has aired three seasons, also featured Demetriou’s sister Natasia as Stath’s sister Sophie, Christos Stergioglou as his father and boss, and co-workers played by Katy Wix, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Al Roberts and Ellie White.
The show follows Stath attempting to sell unfit homes to unsuspecting clients, while also failing to win over the respect of his colleagues at Michael and Eagle lettings.
