10 Best Shows Like Master Of None That You Should Watching Update 03/2024

Shows Like Master Of None

This list of other shows with similar themes will appeal to fans of Netflix’s Master of None, which features subtle and dry humor.

The comedy Master of None is one of those rare gems that’s hard to fault. In part, this is due to Aziz Ansari’s popularity as an actor. There is no denying that, as one approaches adulthood, the haze and immaturity of one’s 20s begin to lift, and one must face the realities of life as an adult.

But let’s not forget that it’s just a humorous show. Fandom is fortunate in that there are numerous shows out there that hit some similar notes and provide comparable levels of enjoyment.

10. Love

Love

Off-kilter romantic comedies are in vogue right now, and Netflix in particular has put a lot of emphasis on them as part of its overall comedy lineup strategy.

As with other shows of its type, Love depicts two flawed individuals who are nonetheless determined to make a go of their love life (and not always succeeding). What sets the show apart, however, is the unquestionable talent and chemistry among the cast members.

9. Silicon Valley

HBO is a network that seems to adore the concept of the antihero, or at the very least of a ragtag group of misfits who aren’t particularly nice people.

As the title suggests, Silicon Valley follows a start-up founder as he attempts to make it in the cutthroat world of technology, with varying degrees of success.

However, it should be noted that there is a bit of a dark edge to the humor and writing.

8. BoJack Horseman

BoJack Horseman

As evidenced by shows like BoJack Horseman, this appears to be a golden age for series that depict existential dread and angst in addition to romantic comedies.

An anthropomorphic horse has seemingly regular relationships with real humans in this strange show. The series is truly hilarious and, at times, deeply moving once you get past the strange premise. It also explores some remarkably mature topics and issues.

7. Lovesick

The plot of this British series centers on a group of Glasgow friends. Amazingly, it focuses more on the lives of average people than those of the wealthy (or at the very least those who are able to afford beautiful apartments).

Because Glasgow is a post-industrial city, it lends credence to this claim. Furthermore, all of the performances are top-notch, and it’s impossible not to root for these people.

6. Arrested Development

Arrested Development

If for no other reason than it spawned a slew of memes and fan art during and after its run on television, Arrested Development is one of those comedies that seems destined to endure.

A dysfunctional family, yes, but it’s also one of those shows where the viewer has to put in effort because of the unconventional nature of the plot. Why it’s so popular in pop culture is unclear, but it could be because of this.

5. Veep

There are few actresses as talented as Julia Louis-Dreyfus today. Not only one, but three memorable television characters have been created by her throughout her career.

Selina, the show’s title character, is a despicable human being, but that’s exactly why she’s so fascinating to watch. Even though she’s the star of the show, she’s surrounded by a talented cast who play all of her assistants and helpers, all of whom end up hurting rather than helping her career.

4. Casual

Casual

Numerous current and recent sitcoms focus on the difficulties of dating and the modern world, which everyone has to deal with these days. Hulu’s Casual, a show about a single mother and her daughter, is no different.

There is a lot to enjoy here, from the excellent writing to the stellar performances by both of the series’ leading ladies, just like there is in so many other shows available through streaming services today.

3. Fleabag

Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the show’s creator and star, deserves a lot of credit for making Fleabag such an edgy comedy. This is a show that makes heavy use of black comedy, which means the humor can be quite vicious at times (particularly from an American point of view).

To be clear: this is not to say that the film is without its charms, and it’s worth seeing if only to see Olivia Colman in action.

2. The End Of the F***ing World

The End Of the Fing World

An adolescent who believes he is psychopath and plans to murder his classmate may appear to be an unusual choice for a comedy at first glance. In some way, this show manages to make the concept work.

The extraordinary talent of the two young actors in the lead roles undoubtedly contributes significantly, but the writing is also razor-sharp and incisive. While the humor may not be to everyone’s taste, its audacity must be admired.

1. Dead To Me

In my opinion, Netflix’s Dead to Me is one of the best comedies available right now. The story revolves around Jen and Judy (Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini), two women who meet after a tragic event and become fast friends, only to discover some shocking truths about one another.

It’s a series that’s impossible not to like because of the incredible chemistry between the two leads. Its true brilliance comes from its ability to seamlessly switch between hilarious comedy and heartbreaking tragedy without missing a beat (sometimes in the same episode).
