"Mentally, Casablanca connects with my world. It’s very romantic, about giving and testing, and trusting and loving… And there’s the romantic music. Everything is [in line with] my tastes of romance. It’s also about an unfulfilled love, which makes everything more beautiful because you can’t have it. It’s just human nature. If you have it — you see the person, you see the romance — then the story becomes practical, like reality. But because it’s unfulfilled, it’s always a fantasy because we add so much of our own beauty, and romance, and poetry, into it. Also, Casablanca is about the sacrifice of giving love. Real love, I think, is unconditional; you give your love away to love somebody. Otherwise it’s not real love, it’s possessive, it’s ownership."

Most of the time I work my way through TV series jointly with my husband but it would be fair to say New Girl isn't really his cup of tea. I started watching it on a plane though and then have binge watched when I get the chance until I'd finished the first season.

This is true comfort viewing. Short episodes, likeable characters and a romantic subplot running through the whole thing about as subtle as an elephant. The best thing about romantic comedies is waiting out the will they won't they plot (it's never quite the same once they get together). If you like friends or How I met your mother give it a go.
