34 Must-Watch Sitcoms on Hulu Right Now (April 2026): ‘The Good Place’ and More

When misanthropic Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell) dies and finds herself in a utopian afterlife called the “Good Place,” she’s extremely surprised — but it’s less of a surprise when she realizes she was mistakenly brought there. Once Eleanor realizes she was meant to end up in the Bad Place, she does her best to remain undetected from the architect of the Good Place, Michael (Ted Danson) and his omniscient assistant Janet (Jameela Jamil). To cement her spot in the Good Place, Eleanor sets out to change her life for the better in death.

The Good Place is a funny, feel-good comedy at its finest. The show does an excellent job at blending genuinely smart humor alongside accessible philosophical themes and complex ethical and moral quandaries, packing every 22-minute episode full of thought-provoking ideas and laugh-out-loud gags. Plus, the show has rich character development and plot twists you won’t see coming — The Good Place kinda has it all.

Newlyweds Paul (Paul Reiser), a documentary filmmaker, and Jamie Buchanan (Helen Hunt), a public relations specialist, settle down together in Greenwich Village in Manhattan and deal with the day-to-day ups and downs of married life in the big city. Mad About You follows the couple as they share their lives and grow together, offering wisdom and humor on the topic of long-term relationships. Notable guest and recurring stars include Lisa Kudrow, Carol Burnett, Steve Buscemi and Kevin Bacon.

Mad About You is a must-watch for its witty and authentic portrait of married life buoyed by incredible chemistry between Hunt and Reiser. At the time, the show was considered a more grounded alternative to the current offerings of ’90s TV, featuring relatable, low-stakes and great romantic comedy. Like Seinfeld, Mad About You succeeds in finding comedy out of mundane, everyday situations.

Struggling young career woman Annie (Aidy Bryant) is determined to change her life without changing her body in the process. As she vies to make it as a journalist, she juggles dealing with a series of terrible boyfriends, her sick parents and a boss (John Cameron Mitchell) who is impossible to please, all the while grappling with living in a world that wants to belittle her because of her weight. Nevertheless, Annie perseveres in coming to accept that she is just as good as anyone else. 

Shrill weaves strong social commentary with terrific comedic sensibilities, likable characters and plotlines that command your attention. The series is a strikingly authentic and empathetic depiction of what it means to exist in the world as a fat woman, and Bryant is radiant in her funny, touching performance.

This adult animated science fiction sitcom centers on a family of aliens from Planet Schlorp, who were sent out along with a hundred other ships to colonize planets after their own has been rendered uninhabitable. But when they crash land in Middle America and are forced to stay there, they must adjust to their new way of life on Earth, frequently disagreeing on whether their new home is good or bad. Solar Opposites stars the voices of Dan Stevens, Thomas Middleditch, Sean Giambrone and Mary Mack.

Solar Opposites comes from the creatives behind Rick & Morty, but the show is very much its own thing. In addition to a fast-paced and absurdist sense of humor and great animation, the show also boasts strong character dynamics and a surprisingly solid emotional core. Fans particularly love Solar Opposites’ “The Wall” subplot, in which a society of shrunken-down humans builds society inside a terrarium. 

The horrors of adolescence are made all the more hilarious and absurd in PEN15, in which Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle play teenage versions of themselves. At the same time, the child characters around them are all actual children. It makes for some uniquely bizarre and funny situations, as Erskine and Konkle attempt to mimic the behavior and mannerisms of young teens while being in their thirties. Teen outcasts in the year 2000, Maya and Anna, navigate middle school together and re-experience the pain and pleasure of youth.

PEN15 (the title of which is a juvenile spelling of “penis”) succeeds as a terrific comic farce carried by a pair of committed performances from Konkle and Erskine. But despite the show’s utter absurdity, it manages to be a genuinely nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of female coming-of-age, giving girls the type of uncomfortable, horny humor that is too often reserved for boys.

Before Steve Carell immortalized Michael Scott on NBC’s The Office, there was Ricky Gervais’ David Brent on the series of the same name from across the pond. The Office began as a British series co-created by Gervais, focusing on the insufferable office manager Brent and his crew of employees at a paper company in England. Brent’s workers include the disillusioned salesman Tim (Martin Freeman), Tim’s eccentric coworker Gareth (Mackenzie Crook) and miserable receptionist Dawn (Lucy Davis).

As with all British humor, this version of The Office is much drier than the American version, but it’s also a lot meaner and cringier — which some viewers may prefer to the heart and likeability of the American The Office characters. The intense discomfort that made early seasons of the U.S. The Office is tenfold more uncomfortable on the U.K. show, and the concise, two-season storytelling keeps the overall narrative tight.

Loud-mouthed Colonel Patrick Quinn (Denis Leary) is reassigned to a military base in the Netherlands following a particularly nasty rant. Now in a command position overseeing what has been dubbed the world’s least important Army base, Quinn finds himself with no weapons but top-notch amenities like the Michelin-Starred commissary and a bowling alley. Nevertheless, Quinn attempts to restore discipline and prestige to Stroopsdorf alongside the base’s former leader: his estranged daughter, Maggie (Taylor Misiak). 

After a well-received first season, Going Dutch was renewed for a second season that premiered last week on Hulu. The show makes a meal out of Leary’s curmudgeonly charm in addition to an affable ensemble cast that includes Danny Pudi, Catherine Tate and Kristen Johnson. The laughs keep coming in season 2, which critics have praised for its reliable laughs and embrace of irreverence. 

Former Boston Red Sox player Sam Malone (Ted Danson) now runs and owns the Boston-based bar Cheers, where everyone knows his name. Cheers is frequented by a revolving door of eclectic regulars, including the beer-loving accountant Norm (George Wendt), know-it-all postman Cliff (John Ratzenberger) and haughty psychiatrist Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer). Every day, Sam, his customers and his waitstaff get together and socialize, discuss their hangups, and escape from day-to-day problems.

Cheers has remained a sitcom classic for decades and frequently tops “best TV shows of all time” lists. The strong, character-driven dialogue, cozy atmosphere and timeless humor have helped the show to endure all these years, while its initial success helped to boost the careers of stars like Danson, Grammer and Woody Harrelson.

A group of struggling actors and writers live in LA while working at a catering company as their day job. As they handle their varied gigs (like porn awards and singles mixers), they navigate their relationships with one another along with strange clients and even stranger guests at every function. In each episode, we follow a separate event serviced by the Party Down catering company, who can’t believe they have to serve such weirdos.

This hilarious sitcom got great reviews despite the low ratings that ultimately killed it after only two seasons. However, the cult following that Party Down cultivated in the years after its cancellation garnered it a limited reboot season in 2023. The show features an ensemble of terrific comedic actors, including Adam Scott, Lizzy Caplan, Jane Lynch and Martin Starr.

This middle-class American family is anything but white picket fences and perfect dinners. Mom Lois (Jane Kaczmarek) is a domineering control freak, while her husband, Hal (Bryan Cranston), is an inept, amiable goofball, and they lead a pack of five sons: child prodigy Malcolm (Frankie Muniz), impulsive Reese (Justin Berfield), delinquent-turned-military student Francis (Christopher Kennedy Masterson) and musically gifted Dewey (Erik Per Sullivan). If that wasn’t enough to handle, Lois eventually has a fifth baby named Jamie.

Malcolm in the Middle struggled in the ratings at the time but became incredibly influential to the sitcoms that followed, notable for being a family sitcom with no laugh track or live studio audience while using a single-camera format later adopted by shows like 30 Rock and Modern Family. The innovative style paired with fantastic comedic performances and great joke-writing made Malcolm in the Middle a favorite for many, and its enduring legacy has paved the way for a revival set for 2026.

When Alex (Elisha Cuthbert) leaves Dave (Zachary Knighton) at the altar, their friend group is thrown into chaos. At first, they attempt to divvy up their time separately between Dave and Alex, and the two eventually decide that they can form a platonic friendship and maintain peace among the group. Happy Endings follows the pair as they navigate the ups and downs of their new dynamic alongside their eclectic friends.

Despite rave reviews from critics, Happy Endings was axed after its third season for low viewership, which some decried as one of the worst TV decisions of the 2012-2013 television season. Nevertheless, the charm and intelligence of the series lives on via streaming. Combining the humorous sensibilities of shows like Community, 30 Rock and Arrested Development, Happy Endings is winsome, warm and very much worth watching.

Successful OB/GYN Mindy Lahiri (Mindy Kaling) excels in the doctor’s office but flounders in her personal life. As she struggles with searching for love, she balances the many relationships she has with her quirky coworkers: her eventual love interest and frenemy, Danny (Chris Messina), English and occasionally hapless co-partner, Jeremy (Ed Weeks) and ex-con nurse, Morgan (Ike Barinholtz).

A strong writer and exceptionally funny actor, Kaling brings her sitcom talents to the forefront in her first show post-The Office, which she wrote and starred on for nine seasons. Combining sharp humor, feminist insight and engaging character arcs, The Mindy Kaling expertly balances comedy and heart in a series that showcases Kaling as an impressive creative talent.

This sports comedy series was developed from a comedy skit starring Eli Manning and produced by Omaha Productions, now featuring the ever-charming Glen Powell. Powell portrays the titular role of the college football quarterback, Russ Holliday, who disgraces himself on the field and ruins his reputation. To mount a comeback, he dons an elaborate disguise and goes by the name “Chad Powers,’ posing as a recruit for a struggling football team at a smaller school.

The series takes the small-scale idea from the original sketch and expands it into a gratifying comedy show with excellent jokes and an engaging narrative. Glen Powell, in particular, has been praised for his captivating performance as Powers, and critics have also noted the series’ strong blend of character writing and genuinely funny moments.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia holds the ranking of longest-running live-action sitcom in America, having recently celebrated the release of its seventeeth season (and currently gearing up for production on its eighteenth). The series began as a low-budget labor of love that has since amassed a huge cult following and widespread critical acclaim — despite being consistently shut out from awards consideration.

But that’s probably due to the tone and content of the series, which follows a gang of maladroit, antisocial adults who run a bar together in South Philly, and get into various underhanded schemes out of a mixture of selfishness, greed, revenge and sometimes just plain boredom. Crass and provocative, Always Sunny has been affectionately referred to as “Seinfeld on crack,” but it’s entirely its own beast. The humor is clever and laugh-out-loud, and the performances from its talented cast (including Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton and Kaitlin Olson) will make you fall in love with the worst people on TV.

Scrubs follows the eclectic cast of characters who work at Sacred Heart Hospital in California: the series’ protagonist, J.D. (Zach Braff), a young physician, his best friend, Turk (Donald Faison), his love interest, Elliot (Sarah Chalke), and other nurses, physicians, surgeons, and even an eccentric janitor. The series blended slapstick and absurd humor in this sitcom, which follows the lives and relationships between the Sacred Heart employees through J.D.’s eyes.

The show was intended to end with its eighth season, but was revived for two additional seasons: one in 2009, subtitled Med School, and more recently, a tenth season that is set to air sometime during the 2025-26 broadcasting season. The original series was extremely popular and lauded for its performances and comedy, while skillfully balancing humor with engaging character development.

Marriage has never been easy — but Paul (Paul Reiser) and Jamie (Helen Hunt) Buchman sure make it look hilariously fun. A newlywed couple living in New York City, they face challenges in communication, compromise, work-life balance and even infertility, but always with a heavy dose of humor and heart.

For romantic comedy fans, the couple’s relationship with both each other and their friends and family provides a rich tapestry of hilarious dialogue and situations. The chemistry between Reiser and Hunt feels authentic and relatable — so much so that despite the ’90s attire and technology, they’ll probably remind you of your best married friends.

Though it never got quite as much hype as The Office or Parks and Recreation, Superstore is a top-notch workplace comedy that insightfully comments on corporate culture, economic issues, and personal relationships. It follows the staff at a Cloud Nine big box store, led by America Ferrera as Amy, the level-headed floor supervisor with dreams of advancing her career.

When Jonah (Ben Feldman) joins the team, he shakes up the dynamic of quirky characters, including aggressive assistant manager Dina Fox (Lauren Ash), sarcastic and witty Garrett McNeill (Colton Dunn), overzealous associate Mateo (Nico Santos), and well-meaning but clueless store manager Glenn Sturgis (Mark McKinney). If you’ve ever felt the sheer joy that comes from talking trash about bosses or clients with your coworkers, this show is a must-see.

Though Reboot was tragically cancelled too soon, if you’re a sitcom fan, it’s worth watching the one season of this underrated show about making sitcoms. Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) stars as Hannah Korman, a TV writer who gets the green light from Hulu to reboot a Full House-esque ’90s comedy show starring the original cast members. The twist? The writer of the original series, Gordon Gelman (Paul Reiser), is her estranged father.

Reboot has a talented cast of funny people playing a talented cast of funny (albeit damaged) people: Keegan-Michael Key plays a Yale-trained actor who thinks he’s too good for comedy, Johnny Knoxville plays a hard-partying comedian trying to stay clean, Judy Greer plays an actress who retired to focus on her marriage to a wealthy man but is now getting divorced and Calum Worthy plays a former child star who’s still a little too close to his “momager.” Full of hilarious meta-commentary on showbiz, we wish Reboot had lasted longer — but we’re glad we got to enjoy it while it was here.

Is it cheesy to start this blurb by saying “Thank you for being a friend?” Yes, it is — but being a little cheesy and ultimately great is The Golden Girls in a nutshell. The classic sitcom stars Bea Arthur as the sharp-witted Dorothy Zbornak, Betty White as the sweet but often naïve Rose Nylund, Rue McClanahan as the vivacious and man-hungry Blanche Devereaux and Estelle Getty as the acerbic and hilariously candid Sophia Petrillo, Dorothy’s mother. Together, these four very different women navigate life, love and dating at “a certain age” from their shared home in Miami. 

The Golden Girls balances humor and heart perfectly, with hilarious joke writing and emotionally intelligent storylines. It’s an irreplaceable part of sitcom history — so thank you for being a friend, indeed.

This critically acclaimed sitcom from Dan Harmon (Rick and Morty) follows a group of very different students who form a study group at Greendale Community College. Joel McHale leads the cast as Jeff Winger, a cynical disbarred lawyer who enrolls at Greendale to earn a legitimate degree. The study group includes activist Britta Perry (Gillian Jacobs), film-obsessed Abed Nadir (Danny Pudi), type-A Annie Edison (Alison Brie), quirky athlete Troy Barnes (Donald Glover), religious Shirley Bennett (Yvette Nicole Brown), and self-obsessed Pierce Hawthorne (Chevy Chase). 

Community is a fantastic mix of great, character-based storytelling alongside meta-commentary on TV and film tropes. It’s referential and self-aware, but at times it’s also surprisingly earnest. We’re psyched to have it available for Hulu users.

The Dunphy-Pritchett-Tucker-Delgado clan is always good for a laugh. This family sitcom stars an excellent ensemble cast, including but not limited to Ed O’Neill, Sofia Vergara, Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet and Sarah Hyland as members of a complicated and messy, but ultimately loving, family. When Modern Family was released in 2009, it was groundbreaking for its portrayal of diverse family structures, particularly the same-sex relationship between Cam (Stonestreet) and Mitchell (Ferguson). By today’s standards, it seems a little less revolutionary, but Modern Family definitely cleared the way for better representation of different kinds of families on television.

Putting aside the representation of it all, this mockumentary sitcom is just really funny, delivering sharp dialogue, unbelievably relatable scenarios and heartfelt moments. Modern Family won multiple well-deserved Emmys and cemented itself as one of the defining series of the 2010s.

FX’s new sitcom Adults is a Gen Z take on Friends or How I Met Your Mother, and its first eight-episode season lives up very nicely to its predecessors. Produced by Nick Kroll, the show focuses on a group of five friends living in a house in Queens, New York. As the series tagline says, they’re “trying to be good people, despite being neither ‘good’ nor ‘people’ yet.”

The cast includes Malik Elassal as Samir, Lucy Freyer as Billie, Jack Innanen as Paul, Amita Rao as Issa and Owen Thiele as Anton. The group is full of young, talented unknowns, just like the characters they portray, and it’s quite enjoyable to watch them flounder and work out their relationships with one another. Though it’s too soon to say if it’s going to be a long-running hit, Adults is worth watching and off to a great start.

Groundbreaking sitcom Will & Grace is an “oldie but goodie” now, but when it first came on the scene in 1998, it was revolutionary in its portrayal of the close friendship between a straight woman and a gay man. Will, portrayed by Eric McCormack, is a successful gay lawyer, while Grace, played by Debra Messing, is a quirky straight interior designer. The show explores their close friendship, navigating personal and professional challenges together. Known for its witty humor and sharp dialogue, the series features an ensemble cast that includes Megan Mullally as the boisterous Karen Walker and Sean Hayes as the irrepressible Jack McFarland, both of whom add significant comedic value to the show.

The cast’s chemistry is top-tier, the comedic timing is excellent and the jokes are incredibly memorable. Sitcom fans will love the combination of clever writing and character-based humor that makes this one a classic.

“This is a story all about how…” Will Smith became the Hollywood icon he is today. As the theme song to this ’90s sitcom helpfully reminds us at the start of each episode, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is about a teenager (Smith, who wisely named the character after himself) from West Philly who is sent to live with his wealthy aunt and uncle in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods of Los Angeles. There’s a culture clash between Will and his more “cultured” relatives, but at the end of the day, love keeps them together. Alfonso Ribeiro steals the show as Will’s uptight cousin Carlton Banks, while James Avery dispenses stern yet loving wisdom as Uncle Phil. 

In addition to fantastic comedic performances, the sitcom touches on race, class and gender issues, and it’s been praised for bringing Black culture into the spotlight of mainstream American television.

Good god, Lemon. Did you know 30 Rock is on Hulu? 

If that reference made no sense to you, it’s definitely time to watch 30 Rock. This workplace comedy starring Tina Fey as writer Liz Lemon and Alec Baldwin as her boss Jack Donaghy is packed to the gills with jokes, visual gags, funny callbacks and pop culture satire. Inspired by Fey’s time as a writer on Saturday Night Live, it follows Liz and the rest of the staff of TGS, a variety show starring attention-obsessed Jenna (the incomparable Jane Krakowski) and erratic Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan). At the same time, she attempts to “have it all” by finding love and being taught the finer points of life and business by Jack. 

30 Rock makes fun of everything from the confusing corporate structure of NBCUniversal (at one point, NBC is purchased by a folksy company called Kabletown, for example) to the ever-growing ridiculousness of TV (when the 30 Rock writers came up with an in-universe show called MILF Island, they probably never imagined that Fboy Island would one day be on TV for real). 30 Rock is one of the funniest sitcoms of all time, and despite its 2007 release date, most of the satire hits just as hard or harder today than it did the first time around.

An updated twist on the “roommate show” genre, Mid-Century Modern is about three gay men who decide to move in together after the death of one of their close friends. Mid-Century Modern was created by Will and Grace producers Max Mutchnick and David Kohan. Nathan Lane plays Bunny Schneiderman, a rich businessman who has been unlucky in love. Bunny decides to retire to Palm Springs with his mother (Linda Lavin, in her last performance before her death) and his best pals.

Matt Bomer is Jerry, a former Mormon who was outed by his wife and left the church forever, and Nathan Lee Graham is Arthur, who works in the fashion industry and is known for his impeccable style. 

Mid-Century Modern stands out because of its focus on friendship between men of a certain age and its embrace of the LGBTQ+ community. It’s a perfect blend of old-fashioned sitcom humor in a (mid-century) modern setting.

One of the breakout sitcoms of the 2020s, Abbott Elementary has won fans’ hearts along with several Emmy nominations (and one win for series creator and star Quinta Brunson). Brunson plays Janine Teagues, a naïve but enthusiastic second-grade teacher at the titular, underfunded Philadelphia elementary school. Her idol is veteran kindergarten teacher Barbara Howard (Sheryl Lee Ralph), whom she desperately wants to be mentored by. 

Unfortunately, new principal Ava Colman (the outrageously funny Janelle James) has no idea how to run a school and very little interest in doing so. Janine also has a classic sitcom “will they or won’t they” relationship with new substitute teacher Gregory Eddie (Tyler James Williams). 

Janine and her fellow teachers (Lisa Ann Walter and Chris Perfetti) try to keep the school running smoothly and go above and beyond for their kids. It’s not easy, but no amount of obstacles can tamp down Janine’s determination.

This spinoff of Cheers went on to forge its own identity and ultimately became just as successful as its predecessor. In the series, sophisticated psychiatrist Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) moves back to his hometown of Seattle after divorcing his ex-wife, Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth). As the host of a talk radio therapy show, he becomes a local celebrity. 

A lover of fine wine, opera and antiques, Frasier’s fussy demeanor is challenged when his father moves into his apartment. Martin Crane (John Mahoney), a cop forced into retirement after being shot during a robbery, is a working-class, salt-of-the-earth guy who has little in common with Frasier or his equally erudite younger son, Niles (David Hyde Pierce). But with the help of live-in physical therapist Daphne (Jane Leeves) and Frasier’s radio producer Roz (Peri Gilpin), the family grows closer than ever.

Frasier has incredibly witty writing and effective physical comedy. The characters are so lovable, you’ll find yourself bingeing all eleven seasons because you just want to keep hanging out with them.

Family Guy and American Dad set a trend of animated family sitcoms where the family members are mostly horrible to each other. Bob’s Burgers is the opposite of that. Bob Belcher (H. Jon Benjamin) runs a burger joint with his bubbly wife Linda (John Roberts) and his three kids: awkward but boy-crazy Tina (Dan Mintz), loud-mouthed Gene (Eugene Mirman) and mischievous Louise (Kristen Schaal). 

Though they drive each other nuts, the Belcher family members always have each other’s backs — which is important, since the restaurant is always on the verge of collapse. 

Bob’s Burgers is unapologetically silly, often featuring musical numbers or surreal dream sequences. The show has run for 15 seasons and counting, with a feature film in 2022. Bob’s Burgers is a laid-back, low-stakes comedy that you can jump into at any season.

In this wacky, wildly successful comedy, teacher Jess (Zooey Deschanel) moves into a new apartment after catching her boyfriend cheating on her. Naturally quirky, Jess stands out even more as a woman among three male roommates, but it’s quickly established that they’re all just as weird as she is. 

Schmidt (Max Greenfield) is an uptight, fastidious ladies’ man with a fitness obsession. Winston (Lamorne Morris) is a sensitive cat lover with a penchant for terrible pranks. And Nick (Jake Johnson) is a hot mess slacker who happens to share incredible chemistry with Jess. Add in Jess’ best friend Cece (Hannah Simone) and you’ve got a recipe for laughs.

Fans love this show for its outrageous scenarios, incredible romance and of course, the drinking game “True American” it invented. It’s the perfect “comfort show” with well-drawn, relatable characters.

Four vampires living as roommates on Staten Island — what could go wrong? (A lot.) What We Do In The Shadows is a spin-off of the movie of the same name from Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok) and Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords), but this is one of the rare examples where the sequel surpasses the original. The vampires are all bizarre, larger-than-life characters, and watching them try to blend in amongst humans is an endless delight. 

In his human life, Nandor (Kayvan Novak) was a ruthless Ottoman warlord, but in the present day, he mostly bosses around his long-suffering human familiar, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), who longs to be a vampire himself. Even though they’re blood-sucking fiends, Laszlo (Matt Berry) and his wife Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) might be the most loving, supportive couple you’ve ever seen on TV. And energy vampire Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) is every boring co-worker you’ve ever had rolled into one. 

The roommates face down everything from supernatural creatures to arguments over the cleaning schedule. (If you’re going to drain a victim in the basement, you really should clean up after yourself — it’s just good house etiquette.) Though it’s certainly not scary, this show is perfect for anyone who likes a smidge of horror with their comedy.

After the death of their father (Iqbal Theba, Glee), two wealthy brothers learn that his entire empire was built on organized crime — and now they’re responsible for running it.  Mir (Asif Ali, Don’t Worry Darling) is a hardworking man who always wanted to impress his father and run the business, while Raj (Saagar Shaikh, Ms. Marvel) is a hard-partying slacker who was happy to coast on the family wealth. Their father’s closest advisor, Lucky (Poorna Jagannathan, Never Have I Ever), shows them the ropes of living a life of crime. 

The Hulu original has become an instant hit, with fans and critics alike praising the unique premise, smart writing and strong performances. It’s a crime comedy with great action and some serious bite.

After their business manager embezzles all their money away, the wealthy Rose family is forced to relocate to a tiny, remote town called Schitt’s Creek, which the family patriarch, Johnny (Eugene Levy), previously purchased as a joke. The formerly wealthy and fashionable Roses are completely out of their depth in a town with only one coffee shop, but the townspeople welcome them with open arms. 

Eugene Levy and his son Dan Levy, who plays fashionable and uptight David Rose, wrote the show together. Annie Murphy plays flighty socialite Alexis Rose, while Catherine O’Hara is their mother, Moira. Although moving to Schitt’s Creek seems like a nightmare for the Roses, it helps them realize the value of their family and learn how to relate to ordinary people. 

Of course, “ordinary” isn’t exactly the right word to describe the Schitt’s Creek natives — Mayor Roland Schitt (Chris Elliot) is nosy and posturing, his wife Jocelyn (Jennifer Robertson) is perky to the point of airheadedness and clerk Stevie (Emily Hampshire) is about as helpful as the broken sign above the motel the Roses move into. But somehow, they form a community that will move you to tears of laughter and joy.

Abbi (Abbi Jacobson) and Ilana (Ilana Glazer) are two best friends hustling to make it in New York City. That may sound like a pretty grounded premise, but Broad City is as zany as they come. The sitcom, produced by SNL’s Amy Poehler, sees the girls navigate the city through humor that feels both surreal and deeply relatable. 

If you’ve ever lived in New York, this show is a must-watch, but even if you haven’t, you’ll find something to relate to in the way the girls navigate love, work and sex while always having each other’s backs. Abbi is an artist who is making ends meet by cleaning at an Equinox-style gym. Ilana is a slacker who can smooth-talk her way into getting paid to do nothing at a website called “Deals Deals Deals.” 

Together, they smoke weed, go on dating apps and explore every inch of Manhattan (and some parts of Brooklyn and Queens). If you’ve ever had a best friend who’s more like a soulmate, Broad City is for you.
