1. St. Denis Medical (2024-)

The mockumentary genre continues to be a crowd pleaser, but St. Denis Medical shines as a standout. If you are a fan of the medical drama genre (but with a twist), this might be your best bet. The series follows a documentary team as they chronicle the chaotic lives of the medical professionals at the understaffed and cash-strapped St. Denis Medical.

The series serves up nonstop laughs amid the chaos, highlighting the absurdities of patients and never-ending funding shortfalls. But there are also a number of heartfelt moments that no good show can do without.

2. Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist (2024)

This star-studded crime drama miniseries, with a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, dives deep into the dark true story behind a popular tragic event. Starring Kevin Hart, Don Cheadle and Samuel L. Jackson, the show explores the aftermath of the party that followed Muhammad Ali's (portrayed by Dexter Darden) triumphant return to the ring.

The infamous party becomes the target of a brilliantly orchestrated heist. Blending retro aesthetics with relevant issues, this gripping series masterfully combines humor and sinister suspense to deliver a riveting exploration of a historic criminal act.

“It's incredibly ambitious, well executed and stylish - the tones veer from comedy to tension to drama. Themes like class, race and gender are all thrown into the mix and duke it out in an entertaining way. A socially divisive era is lovingly recreated and all the actors make real life characters their own,” one Redditor said.

3. Superstore (2015 - 2021)

Superstore is one of those rare comedies that grows stronger with each season. Set in a big box store, the show hilariously exposes the absurdity of corporate promises and the realities of retail work. Led by America Ferrera, the show shifts from a focus on her character to a full ensemble piece where each member of the cast gets their moment to shine.

In the end, Lauren Ash steals the show as Dina Fox, who makes every line a staple. From the relatable characters to the hilarious customer vignettes between scenes, Superstore will quickly become your next favorite show.

4. Mrs. Davis (2023)

This miniseries on Peacock has an amazing 92% Rotten Tomatoes score, so make sure you don’t miss it. Mrs. Davis is an action-packed sci-fi drama that perfectly blends comedy and mind-bending adventure. Created by Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof, the show follows Sister Simone, played by Betty Gilpin, a nun on a mission to take down an all-powerful AI named Mrs. Davis.

“I just realised that Betty Gilpin played Liberty in GLOW!!! Also, she looked so much like Sandra Bullock to me in Mrs. Davis. I love the show, I have no idea where it's going, but I enjoyed the chaotic aspect of the show,” Redditor Wojar said.

5. Poker Face (2023-)

Poker Face comes from the creator of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Rian Johnson, so don't think twice before tuning in.
