5 Overlooked Comedy TV Shows You’re Missing Out On, Unveiled by Reddit

TV history knows lots of unfairly forgotten titles, in particular, comedy ones that become overshadowed by their more popular and advertised neighbors in the schedule. That’s why the audience annually misses a number of decent series but, luckily, Reddit is here to remind us of comedy gold we may never have heard of.

Here are 5 underrated comedy TV titles you need to discover.

1. Party Down (2009 - 2023)

First comes a sitcom that follows a group of caterers who strive to become successful in Hollywood. Despite the fact it was warmly received by both critics and viewers, it was canceled after two seasons in 2010, only to return with a short revival in 2023.

2. Mr Inbetween (2018 - 2021)

Focusing on a hitman who leads a double life, this FX’s series blends comedy, crime and drama elements, enhanced by the performance of its lead, Scott Ryan. His protagonist gets dubbed “one of the most fun characters to watch in TV history”, as voiced by @rrogido.

3. You're the Worst (2014 - 2019)

Here is another must-see series, unfairly canceled by FX. It centers on the exploits of a disgraced writer and an awkward PR executive as they try to build a relationship and it is rich in both witty and truly hilarious jokes and touching drama moments.

4. Kim's Convenience (2016 - 2021)

Next Reddit’s choice is a CBS sitcom that follows a Korean-Canadian family running a local convenience store. It’s a rare example of a TV show led by Korean actors, and that’s why it sparked debates on a lack of diversity when it was canceled after the fifth season.

5. Patriot (2015 - 2018)

Last entry on today’s list is a dramedy that follows an intelligence officer on his mission to prevent Iran from going nuclear. “Only two seasons but wow, what a ride,” admits Redditor @SeaweedTeaPot about this show, unfairly axed by Amazon Prime.
