'Upload' (2020 - Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 92% | IMDB: 7.9/10

Read Our Review

In a future where death just means uploading to the cloud, Upload mixes romance and comedy with this series from Greg Daniels, who not only helped create hits like Parks and Recreation and King of the Hill, but also developed The Office. In the vein of his other shows, Upload is loaded with humor. From the comedic twist on an almost-dystopic future to the laugh out loud physical comedy moments that technology brings, the series has it all. Led by Robbie Amell, who has surprisingly good comedic timing, his the series has heart too. The burgeoning romance between Amell's Nathan and Andy Allo's Nora is packed with chemistry and charm. Whether it's the talking dog therapists or the surprisingly philosophical moments, Upload has something for everyone. — Therese Lacson

'Freaks and Geeks' (1999 - 2000)

Rotten Tomatoes: 100% | IMDB: 8.8/10

Paul Feig’s suburban high school comedy-drama follows a group of less-than-popular kids, whether they be ‘mathletes’ or ‘burnouts,’ as they awkwardly navigate through the trials and tribulations of academic adolescence. Freaks and Geeks struggled to capture audiences upon first airing, but the subsequent success of stars like Seth Rogen and James Franco, alongside the show’s executive producer Judd Apatow, would bring a whole new viewership to this now cult classic. Freaks and Geeks far from crumbles under the weight of its stellar cast, instead allowing them to express their talent in a comedy that stands the test of time. - Jake Hodges

'The Horror of Dolores Roach' (2023)

Rotten Tomatoes: 80% | IMDB: 7.1/10

Read Our Review

Justina Machado (One Day at a Time) absolutely dominates in The Horror of Dolores Roach, a ridiculously entertaining horror comedy from Aaron Mark. A project that grew from a one-woman play to a podcast before becoming a television series, The Horror of Dolores Roach is a delightfully modern tale loosely inspired by the musical Sweeney Todd. Along with Machado, The Horror of Dolores Roach stars Alejandro Hernandez, K. Todd Freeman, and Kita Updike and focuses on a tale of survival, weed, cannibalism, and the flaws of the criminal justice system. – Yael Tygiel

'Primo' (2023 - Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 100% | IMDB: 8.0/10

Based on the life of author and journalist Shea Serrano, who also created the show and works with co-producer Michael Schur (The Good Place), Primo is a hysterical series that’s unabashedly steeped in Mexican-American culture. Ignacio Diaz-Silverio (A Good Person) leads the series as a high school teen living with his single mother while being pulled in all directions by his five overprotective uncles. The comedy is very character driven, and each performance feels like a person that could exist in the real world, which gives the story such a distinct sense of humor while also infusing each episode with genuine moments reminiscent of trying to find your place in the world as a teen while everyone tries to tell you where to go. –Tauri Miller

'Deadloch' (2023 - Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 100% | IMDB: 7.4/10

Deadloch, Tasmania, has a killer on the loose, and local law enforcement is scrambling to trail and jail them after a body is found on the beach. Australian comedians and showrunners Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan were heavily inspired by the British cop drama Broadchurch but wanted to make their own humorous version of a mystery show, and Deadloch is the platonic ideal of that concept. Described as a feminist noir, the series subverts the typical tropes of the genre while also using the Australia-based setting to inform the storylines and situational comedy. Plus, the three main heroines, Kate Box, Madeleine Sami, and Nina Oyama, kill it as they clash their distinct personalities against one another while they barrel forward head-first toward their answers.

'With Love' (2021 - 2023)

Rotten Tomatoes: 100% | IMDB: 7.2/10

With Love is a beautifully rich romantic comedy series from Gloria Calderón Kellett (One Day at a Time). The touching series follows Diaz siblings Emeraude Toubia (Shadowhunters) and Mark Indelicato through their journey of finding romance. With themes of family, hope, and vulnerability, With Love explores how every person’s quest for meaning varies, as do their support systems. In addition to Toubia and Indelicato, With Love has an unbelievably gorgeous cast, including Isis King, Rome Flynn (How to Get Away with Murder), and Vincent Rodriguez III (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), making the series both hot and heartwarming. – Yael Tygiel

'Class of ’07' (2023 - Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 100% | IMDB: 7.3/10

Series creator Kacie Anning creates a nightmare scenario for anyone who wasn’t the most popular in high school, then douses it with humor and sets it ablaze. In this Australian survival comedy starring Emily Browning (American Gods), Megan Smart (Home and Away), and Caitlin Stasey (Smile), a 10-year class reunion quickly turns into Gilligan’s Island meets Cast Away as a massive tidal wave strands the all-girls-school alums on a small island. After panic and mayhem, they all must work together to escape with their lives and friendships intact — all while trying not to kill each other. Class of ‘07 is not just a good time — it’s a great way to watch how the indomitable human spirit and forging community can keep us going through the toughest of situations. – Tauri Miller

'Loudermilk' (2017 - 2020)

IMDB: 7.8/10

Ron Livingston stars as Sam Loudermilk in Loudermilk, a sobering comedy about a recovering alcoholic who works as a substance-abuse counselor. The series co-stars Will Sasso as Ben Burns, Sam’s sponsor and best friend, as well as Anja Savcic as Claire Wilkes, Sam’s young sponsee who ends up moving in with him. Created by Peter Farrelly (Dumb and Dumber) and Bobby Mort (The Colbert Report), Loudermilk is an unexpectedly touching series that follows a grumpy, rigid man with a bad attitude attempting to get his life back in order. Together with Sam, Ben and Claire make Loudermilk a surprisingly charming ensemble series. – Yael Tygiel

'Outlaws' (2021 - Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 80% | IMDB: 7.7/10

The Outlaws is a hilarious comedy about seven criminals, all strangers to each other, united by their sentence to community service. Together this diverse group of individuals, each with their own set of skills and backgrounds, struggle not only with surviving their punishment but also their ability to stay out of trouble. The Outlaws stars co-creator Stephen Merchant (The Office), who crafted the uproarious comedy with Elgin James (Mayans M.C.), featuring delightful performances from Eleanor Tomlinson, Darren Boyd (Killing Eve), and Christopher Walken. Set in Bristol, The Outlaws is a very British comedy that amusingly plays with criminality and the criminal justice system. – Yael Tygiel

'Good Omens' (2019 - Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 84% | IMDB: 8.0/10

Read Our Review

Based on the delightfully clever novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, Good Omens is an amusingly witty story of an angel and demon attempting to stop Armageddon. Showcasing the friendship and talent of its stars, Good Omens sees Doctor Who’s David Tennant as a sly demon named Crowley, with Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex) embodying the optimistically bumbling angel Aziraphale. Good Omens was originally a beloved novel that adapted beautifully to the screen, featuring a cast of gifted actors, including Frances McDormand, Jon Hamm, and Adria Arjona. Gaiman and Pratchett’s Good Omens is a cunning twist on traditional Christian themes and figures, providing an original backdrop for their innovative tale of prophecies, an 11-year-old Antichrist, and witches. – Yael Tygiel

Rotten Tomatoes: 95% | IMDB: 7.6/10

Adapted from the 1992 film of the same name, A League of Their Own centers around the Rockford Peaches – an all-girl baseball team during World War II. The show offers a delightful cast of rich characters, including reluctant leader Carson Shaw (Abbi Jacobson), confident and charismatic Greta Gill (D’Arcy Carden), and Max Chapman (Chanté Adams), a talented and determined pitcher who struggles to find a team due to the racism and sexism she faces. The show is equally funny and dramatic, offering up a plethora of laughs while not shying away from series issues. The series is also refreshingly and unapologetically queer, having many beautiful depictions of LGBTQ+ love and joy. – Taylor Gates

A groundbreaking show inspired by true events, Transparent was created by Joey Soloway and thrived for five innovative seasons. Mined from Soloway’s own family, Transparent infused comedy with progressive narratives while maintaining relatability to families from all backgrounds. Soloway’s ability to reach audiences nationwide garnered the series quite a few awards over the years. Featuring a stellar cast including Amy Landecker, Gaby Hoffmann (Now and Then), Kathryn Hahn (WandaVision), and Alexandra Billings, Transparent broke barriers with a story about a family whose patriarch comes out as transgender. – Yael Tygiel

'The Lake' (2022 - Present)

The Lake is a unique coming-of-age story about Billie (Madison Shamoun), a 16-year-old girl who finds herself forced to spend a summer with her birth father, Justin (Jordan Gavaris), who gave her up for adoption when he was a teen. A lot has changed for Justin since that day: he’s come out of the closet, moved to Australia for a time, and gotten divorced. Things get even more complicated when they discover the cabin they’re supposed to stay in is actually owned by Justin’s stepsister Maisy-May (Julia Stiles). There are some definite Schitt’s Creek vibes going on in this show, which is as hilarious as it is heartwarming. The solid writing, unique premise, and excellent performances make this an all-around great watch. – Taylor Gates

'Mozart in the Jungle' (2014 - 2018)

Rotten Tomatoes: 95% | IMDB: 8.1/10

Read Our Review

Long before Prime Video had The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, they had another Emmy and Golden Globe-winning comedy series in Mozart in the Jungle, chronicling the chaos of being a professional musician in a cutthroat world. The series follows aspiring oboist (and later conductor) Hailey Rutledge, played by musician and actress Lola Kirke, after a disastrous gig auditioning for the New York Symphony. She manages to escape complete embarrassment, however, landing a position as the assistant to the symphony’s new conductor, the hip Rodrigo De Souza (Gael García Bernal), who turns out to be more of a handful (and more intriguing) than she ever could have imagined. Based on the memoir of the same name by real-life oboist Blair Tindall, the series is as chaotic as it is heartwarming and romantic, featuring Bernadette Peters, Saffron Burrows, and Malcolm McDowell as various members of the symphony trying to keep Rodrigo (and by extension, Hailey) in check. Each is uniquely neurotic and charming, and with four seasons’ worth of episodes clocking in at half an hour each, the series is an easy and pleasant binge, emanating the same kind of positivity and warmth as Apple TV’s Ted Lasso. While the series was unfairly canceled after its fourth season, leaving some threads hanging, it’s still a great choice for anyone looking for a comedic and charming respite amongst the leagues of dramatic tension currently airing on streaming. - Maggie Boccella

'The Boys' (2019 - Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 93% | IMDB: 8.7/10

The adaptation of the comic book series of the same name, The Boys is full of violence, nudity, and comedy while also doing a great job at creating real-life commentary on today's world through a superhero show. The show follows the eponymous team of vigilantes as they combat superpowered individuals who abuse their abilities. Through two seasons, the show has showcased that it understands how to use the premise to its advantage and create a nuanced story that keeps you on your feet from start to finish. With some excellent casting, especially Anthony Starr, who brilliantly plays Homelander, the show balances the multitude of facets that it has and creates a show that is almost impossible to ignore. - Arianne Binette

'Psych' (2006 - 2014)

Rotten Tomatoes: 89% | IMDB: 8.4/10

Psych is more than just your run-of-the-mill procedural buddy comedy. This eight season series follows “psychic detective” Shawn Spencer (James Roday Rodriguez) as he solves crimes in and around Santa Barbara. Despite his father’s best efforts, Shawn has no desire to take his life too seriously. He bounces from job to job, only to land a gig as a psychic consultant for the Santa Barbara police department after solving a high-profile crime. The catch? Shawn isn’t really psychic. He’s just incredibly observant thanks to his dad Henry (Corbin Bernsen) teaching him detective skills from a very young age. With the help of his childhood friend Burton “Gus” Guster (Dulé Hill), Shawn forms his own consulting agency, Psych, to maintain the ruse and make money in the process.

Psych maintains a truly chaotic comedic energy through Shawn and Gus without compromising the stakes of the cases they’re trying to solve. Some episodes see Shawn and Gus going undercover on a bachelor-style reality show to investigate a murder, while others see them tracking down a serial killer through a twisted scavenger hunt. The presence of detectives Carlton Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) and Juliet O’Hara (Maggie Lawson) also keep the series grounded amongst the catchphrases, running gags, and general shenanigans that Shawn and Gus bring to the table. It can be hard to believe at times that these serious detectives truly believe that Shawn is a psychic, but the beauty of this show lies in suspending disbelief and just enjoying the ride. — Brynna Arens

'Fleabag' (2016 - 2019)

Rotten Tomatoes: 100% | IMDB: 8.7/10

Read Our Review

Playwright Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s exceptional half-hour series Fleabag is a raw, honest, and often uproarious portrait of a young single woman’s life in London that somehow manages to avoid all of the genre’s tropes and pitfalls. Waller-Bridge stars at the title character, narrating her life and giving knowing glances to the camera, using it to make us confidants and partners in crime, as well as to admonish our assumptions, or to confirm how absurd a situation is. And while the likable and relatable Fleabag likes pointing out other’s faults, she’s not always easy on herself, either. Struggling through modern dating (where there’s plenty of humor to be found), she’s also haunted, increasingly over the first season’s 6 episodes, by the recent and unexpected death of her best friend. It’s a dark river coursing through the season that, as in real life, floods over in unexpected moments.

Fleabag is charming and openly confessional about sex, grief, loneliness, and financial frustrations, and Waller-Bridge does an exceptional job of making viewers feel like we’re right there with her through each humiliation and dark realization, even though it’s masked with an extremely clever, dry-witted humor. Fleabag is never too dark, though (its finale almost disrupts that notion), even when it’s disarmingly honest. A particularly aching moment happens in the fourth episode when Fleabag and her perfectionist sister Claire (the excellent Clifford) go to a silent retreat, and she sees a loan officer she had a heated exchange within the premiere. She sits in silence while he details what he really wants in the wake of his personal transgressions—to just go home and unload the dishwasher and watch his wife drink a cup of coffee—to which Fleabag answers, finally, breaking her silence, “I just want to cry all the time.”

She resists, but the acknowledgment of the impulse is as emotionally raw as it comes. Marrying an exceptional comedic sensibility while allowing its characters to have real feelings, doubts, and fears is what elevates the series past its more shallow or scattered dating-centric counterparts. Fleabag unpacks the life of a complicated young woman—with all of its pain, insecurity, anger, humor, friendship, impulses, and more—with a unique sensibility that makes it essential viewing. — Allison Keene
