Shows that feel likeAtlanta (2016–2022)

Two cousins work through the Atlanta music scene in order to better their lives and the lives of their families.

If you loved Atlanta, the closest series we have are Superstore (2015), Flight of the Conchords (2007) and ted (2024). All three share Atlanta's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Righteous Gemstones (2019).

The same mix in both: wit, then play

The difference: Trades the stillness of Atlanta for an angle of its own

A hilarious workplace comedy about a unique family of employees at a super-sized mega store. From the bright-eyed newbies and the seen-it-all veterans to the clueless summer hires and the in-it-for-life managers, together they hilariously tackle the day-to-day grind of rabid bargain hunters, riot-causing sales and nap-worthy training sessions.

Witty comedy in both cases

The trials and tribulations of a two man, digi-folk band who have moved from New Zealand to New York City in the hope of forging a successful music career. So far they've managed to find a manager (whose "other" job is at the New Zealand Consulate), one fan (a married obsessive) and one friend (who owns the local pawn shop) -- but not much else.

Ted may not be the best influence on John, but when it comes right down to it, he's willing to go out on a limb to help his friend and his family.
