If You Love the Ensemble Dynamic
Happy Endings
Imagine New Girl, but even more chaotic and with a dash more sarcasm. This show revolves around six best friends navigating life, love, and truly bizarre situations after a wedding gone wrong.
Think ridiculous scenarios, over-the-top characters, and a whole lot of heart. Prepare to fall in love with Penny Hartz's desperate search for "mazing," and Max Blum's unapologetic laziness.
It's pure, unadulterated fun that will leave you quoting lines for days.
Parks and Recreation
Okay, so Pawnee, Indiana, isn't exactly a Los Angeles loft. But the heart of Parks and Rec lies in its incredible ensemble cast. Leslie Knope's unwavering optimism is infectious, and the supporting characters are comedic gold.
From Ron Swanson's deadpan libertarianism to April Ludgate's cynical charm, you'll find yourself invested in these characters and their ridiculous adventures. Plus, who can resist the charm of Li'l Sebastian?
It is pure, wholesome comedy that will warm your soul.
If You're Here for the Rom-Com Vibes
The Mindy Project
Created by and starring the brilliant Mindy Kaling, The Mindy Project follows Dr. Mindy Lahiri's hilarious and often disastrous quest for love. Picture Jess Day with a medical degree and an even bigger shoe collection.
The show is filled with witty banter, romantic tropes turned on their head, and a whole lot of fashion inspiration. Plus, the supporting cast is just as hilarious, offering a delightful mix of personalities and perspectives.
Warning: May cause an uncontrollable urge to redecorate your apartment in bright colors.
You're the Worst
Don't let the title fool you, this show is surprisingly sweet (underneath all the cynicism, of course). It follows Gretchen and Jimmy, two self-destructive people who unexpectedly find love and attempt (often failing) to make a relationship work.
It's a darker, more realistic take on modern romance, but it's also incredibly funny and relatable. Be ready to be shocked and touched simultaneously.
While it might not be as outwardly optimistic as New Girl, it explores similar themes of friendship, vulnerability, and finding your place in the world. Also, expect a healthy dose of dark humor.
If You Appreciate the Quirky Humor
Community
Welcome to Greendale Community College, where a study group becomes an unlikely family. This show is known for its meta-humor, pop culture references, and downright bizarre storylines.
Each episode is a wild ride, featuring everything from paintball wars to alternate timelines. The characters are unique and lovable, even with their flaws and quirks.
If you appreciate New Girl's willingness to embrace the absurd, you'll find plenty to love in Community.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Jake Peralta is basically Jess Day if she was a detective in the NYPD. He is immature, goofy, but ultimately dedicated to his job and his friends.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine delivers consistently funny episodes with heartwarming storylines about found family and personal growth. It's a comforting and uplifting show that will leave you feeling good.
Plus, who can resist the charm of Captain Holt and his deadpan delivery?
