From the story of game developers to the platonic relationship of Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne – we tell you about the best comedy series on Apple TV+.
Apple TV+ is known for comedy projects primarily due to its undeniable hit. But this is far from the only successful streaming project in the field of humorous shows. Here are 7 more great comedy series in the Apple TV+ lineup.
Rarely do series appear that everyone loves. Even rarer are modest projects without a huge fan base and funding the size of a South American budget.
Open material«Mythic Quest» (Mythic Quest, 2020-…)
Watch if you like: 'The Office', 'Silicon Valley', 'Community'
The series centers on the fates of employees of one of the most popular gaming companies in Silicon Valley, led by the egotistical genius Ian Grimm (Rob McElhenney) and his soft-spoken and chaotic partner Poppy Li (Charlotte Nicdao).
The company overcomes one crisis after another as employees prepare for new developments, all accompanied by a ton of jokes with pop culture references. And if the series seems not crazy enough, you can check out where each episode is stylized in one of the popular genres, and the global detective investigation will amuse you with its clumsiness.
Can you imagine a series where there is one story but 8 (!) different genres? Christopher Miller's 'The Party' is exactly that project!
Open material«Bad Sisters» (Bad Sisters, 2022-…)
Watch if you like: 'Fleabag', 'Derry Girls', 'Catastrophe'
Each member of the first-class ensemble of Irish actresses playing the lead roles in the series is perfectly suited for performing humorous (and not only) scenes. And all episodes created by Brett Baer, Dave Finkel, and Sharon Horgan give the girls chances to be both hilarious and tragic.
From their bickering to their genuine love for each other, Bad Sisters from Apple TV+ doesn't give a single opportunity to look away from the screen.
«Slow Horses» (Slow Horses, 2022-…)
Watch if you like: 'Sherlock', 'Luther', 'Killing Eve'
An unexpected choice, but why not?!
'Slow Horses' is a special department for people who left MI-5 due to one professional mistake or another. Gary Oldman plays the odious head of this last stop on the way to the bottom of British intelligence. But, as is usual in movies, even losers get a chance to save Britain (and more than once).
The Apple TV+ series is equally a spy show and a dark comedy, tense, gripping, and sometimes overly funny. And Gary Oldman... wow, how good he is here, the devil!
The second season of 'Slow Horses', one of the best series of the season, has recently ended. About why spending the holidays with this story about loser spies is the best decision in the new...
Open material«Shrinking» (Shrinking, 2023-...)
Watch if you like: 'Ted Lasso', 'How I Met Your Mother', 'After Life'
We joke, laugh, and go crazy when we are in pain – one of the messages of the dramedy. The characters here cope with their personal tragedies through laughter, sarcasm, irony, or indulging in unrestrained fun, while underneath all this lies unexpressed pain and sadness.
The first season of the series 'Shrinking' with Jason Segel and Harrison Ford has ended on Apple TV+. We talk about a new comfortable project in the streaming lineup, where each character...
Open materialSeems like it smells of something depressive? But no. The creators tell stories that are familiar to everyone in one way or another, so that sometimes you want to scream at the screen: 'I was there too, I did such nonsense.' At the same time, they balance between deep and light, thoughtful and reckless, tragic and life-affirming. Thanks to this, after each episode, your soul becomes warmer and happier. And if you add to this the singing 80-year-old, as well as the charming and charismatic Jessica Williams and Christa Miller, you'll get a serotonin pill for any adversity. Thank you, Apple TV+!
Harrison Ford celebrates his 78th birthday, and we remember his amazing feats and various achievements in cinema and beyond.
Open material«Schmigadoon!» (Schmigadoon!, 2021-…)
Watch if you like: 'Glee', 'Galavant', 'Dead to Me'
Keegan-Michael Key and Cecily Strong play a couple with a crumbling relationship who end up in the magical land of Schmigadoon after getting lost during a failed hike.
Schmigadoon is a place where everyone sings and dances, and no problems seem to spoil the idyll. When the real difficulties of Strong and Key's characters become public knowledge, it changes the nature of life in the quaint village, perhaps forever.
At times screamingly funny, at times just smart, this crazy fantasy from show creators Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio and director Barry Sonnenfeld is really worth spending a few evenings on. And if you are a fan of musicals, even more so — a sea of references will be like honey to your musical soul.
«Platonic» (Platonic, 2023-...)
Watch if you like: 'You're the Worst', 'Love', 'Californication'
Apple TV+ never ceases to delight with heartfelt comedy series. This time, the streaming service released a charming show about adults experiencing various crises: marriage, friendship, children, work, and generally finding themselves and their place. The comicality of the situations the main characters find themselves in sometimes goes off the charts, and their clumsiness, spontaneity, and inability to figure out seemingly obvious things bring a kind smile, because these feelings are universal and familiar to everyone.
The series has at least two undeniable advantages. First, the duo of and Rose Byrne: their chemistry is palpable through the screen. Second, the runtime of the episodes: each lasts 30 minutes.
Seth Rogen's career has been developing for over two decades, so he can boast of cool and interesting roles in movies.
Open material«Loot» (Loot, 2022-…)
Watch if you like: 'Parks and Recreation', 'The Night Of', 'A.P. Bio'
When Molly Wells (Maya Rudolph) gets divorced, she suddenly finds a purpose – the woman begins spending time at a charitable organization she started without realizing it. And gradually Molly begins to understand that there is more to life than parties, spas, champagne, private jets, and meals prepared by personal chef David Chang.
In her charitable organization, a team of philanthropists (N. Faxon, R. Funches, D. K. Buster, and E. D. Rodriguez) teach her responsibility towards others and humanity.
Maya Rudolph is one of the best comedic actresses on TV, and it's always a pleasure to spend time in her company. And here it's a real benefit performance of the artist!
Bonus: «Acapulco» (Acapulco, 2021-...)
Watch if you like: 'How I Met Your Mother', 'Hotel Eléon', 'A.P. Bio'
Among the non-English language projects on Apple TV+, the sitcom 'Acapulco' stands out for its charm and pleasant light humor, set, as the title suggests, in Mexico, in the famous resort town.
In structure, the show almost copies the formula of 'How I Met Your Mother', except that the main character tells about his youth not to his children, but to his nephew. The content of the episodes itself resembles many workplace sitcoms, telling about the difficult but fascinating daily life of resort hotel employees, the main of whom, Maximo, is ambitious and witty, so he will find an unexpected way out of every predicament.
