11 TV Comedies You Aren't Watching But Totally Should Be

    Put 'em on your watchlist.

    1. Fleabag

    BBC

    I'm gonna be blunt, and this is not to say that the other shows on this list aren't also excellent, but Fleabag is the single best show on TV right now. If you don't believe me, just look at the fact that it was just nominated for 11 Emmys. The first season is funnier, but the second plays with the show's own conceits in a way that will leave you wanting much, much more. Why do the seasons have to be so SHORT?!

    2. The Other Two

    Comedy Central

    This show — about two thirtysomething millennial siblings whose teenage brother becomes a Bieber-esque pop star practically overnight — could have easily been a tired comedy about two jealous, kinda terrible people. But it turned out to be surprisingly heartfelt with fully realized, human characters, while remaining absolutely hilarious in the way that Cary and Brooke deal with (and sometimes take advantage of) their brother's success.

    If you haven't been watching this charming sitcom, you probably heard about it because of its cancellation by Netflix. After an uproar from fans (rule of thumb: shows with that passionate a fan base are usually excellent), the show was revived on Pop TV, the network that's currently most famous for the also-hilarious Schitt's Creek. Now you can start watching!

    Where to watch: Netflix (currently), Pop TV (starting in 2020)

    This brand-new show also comes from Pop TV and focuses on a group of burnout friends from Clearwater, Florida, who — in their own words — "met when we were 5, started drinking when we were 12, and dropped out when we were 16." When one of their friends actually gets her GED and leaves town for better things, they have to come to terms with being loser townies...or not. What ensues is a hilarious and often inappropriate glimpse at life in a trashy small town.

    Where to watch: Pop TV (airs Wednesdays 10/9c, first two episodes available online)

    5. Good Omens

    Amazon Prime

    Based on the novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, this show follows an angel and a demon as they try to track down the Antichrist and prevent the apocalypse because, as it turns out, they kinda like living on Earth. Yep, that's really the plot, and thanks to some smart, witty writing and terrific performances by David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Jon Hamm, Frances McDormand, and others, it totally works.

    There have been shows about middle school before. But they usually don't feature two grown-ass adults playing teenage versions of themselves, surrounded by a cast of actual teens. That little gimmick is comedy gold, and when you combine it with some powerful early-2000s nostalgia, you have one of the funniest shows on TV right now.

    7. Letterkenny

    Hulu

    Did you know that Canada has country hicks too? They're the focus of this quirky, fast-talking comedy set in a small, rural town in Ontario. The show is heavy on the banter, so if you like your comedy a little wordy, this one's for you.

    8. Shrill

    Hulu

    SNL's Aidy Bryant stars in this hilarious and thoughtful comedy, based on the book of the same name by Lindy West. Bryant shows incredible range playing Annie, a woman who decides to change her outlook, her confidence, and her life, but encounters occasional roadblocks as she faces all the comments and microaggressions that come with being a plus-size woman.

    9. Dead to Me

    Netflix

    Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini are magnificent in this murder mystery wrapped in a comedy (or is it a comedy wrapped in a murder mystery?) about a recent widow who befriends her polar opposite at a support group. The show is darkly funny, but also touches in a very real way on what it's like to lose someone you love.

    Where to watch: Netflix

    10. Russian Doll

    Netflix

    If you thought the "time loop" trope was played out thanks to Groundhog Day, Edge of Tomorrow, Happy Death Day, etc., you'll be happy to know that Russian Doll found a way to do it that's entirely fresh and fun. Nadia (played perfectly by Natasha Lyonne) finds herself stuck on the night of her 36th birthday, doomed to repeat the evening over and over unless she finds out what's causing it. It's funny (often in the darkest ways), but it's also fascinating to see how the plot plays out.

    It's amazing how a show as fundamentally bleak as Corporate can also manage to be so damn funny. It focuses on two junior executives (Matt Ingebretson and Jake Weisman) who work at possibly the most soulless, post-capitalist corporation you've ever seen. The stories inevitably go hilariously over-the-top, but they're always based in very relatable truths: For example, in one episode, Matt's keyboard breaks and he can't use exclamation marks anymore, causing everyone to interpret his emails as unnecessarily rude and hostile. It's exactly the kind of stuff that anyone who's ever worked in an office will see and say, "Same."
