Shows that feel likePluribus (2025–)

The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.

If you loved Pluribus, the closest series we have are Black Mirror (2011), Better Call Saul (2015) and Agatha All Along (2024). All three share Pluribus' darkly funny feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Last Ship (2014).

The difference: Easier on the ideas than Pluribus

Six years before Saul Goodman meets Walter White. We meet him when the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and, often, against Jimmy, is “fixer” Mike Ehrmantraut. The series tracks Jimmy’s transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts “criminal” in “criminal lawyer".
