Shows that feel likeSuccession (2018–2023)

Follow the lives of the Roy family as they contemplate their future once their aging father begins to step back from the media and entertainment conglomerate they control.

If you loved Succession, the closest series we have are The House of Flowers (2018), Drake & Josh (2004) and Flight of the Conchords (2007). All three share Succession'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).

New York City shapes both of them

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

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.

A monstrous father and the kids who can't quit orbiting him

The difference: Poverty instead of private jets — scrappier, sadder, far longer

Chicagoan Frank Gallagher is the proud single dad of six smart, industrious, independent kids, who without him would be... perhaps better off. When Frank's not at the bar spending what little money they have, he's passed out on the floor. But the kids have found ways to grow up in spite of him. They may not be like any family you know, but they make no apologies for being exactly who they are.

Both lean on wit more than on comedy

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

Jessica Day is an offbeat and adorable girl in her late 20s who, after a bad breakup, moves in with three single guys. Goofy, positive, vulnerable and honest to a fault, Jess has faith in people, even when she shouldn't. Although she's dorky and awkward, she's comfortable in her own skin. More prone to friendships with women, she's not used to hanging with the boys—especially at home.
