Leonard and Hungry Paul (season 1)

The first season of Leonard and Hungry Paul is a gentle Irish comedy-drama about two quiet friends in their thirties who find comfort in board games and their simple suburban lives. Leonard is a ghostwriter of children's encyclopedias who has always lived with his mother, while Hungry Paul works part-time as a postal clerk and still lives at home. Their calm routine is disrupted when Leonard's mother dies, Hungry Paul's sister prepares for her wedding, and Leonard meets a new colleague, Shelley, who brings unexpected warmth into his life. These events push both men to step beyond comfort and explore a wider world filled with change, connection, and quiet acts of courage. The six-episode series, narrated by Julia Roberts, captures kindness and friendship through subtle humor and heartfelt moments.
