- Fleabag (Prime Video) The series you're most-likely to have seen on this list, Fleabag ran for two seasons of drama and laughter on Prime Video and the BBC from 2016 to 2019.
- Station Eleven (HBO Max) HBO Max has delivered not one but two fantastic post-apocalyptic dramas over the year and change, and they're wildly different shows.
- Black Bird (Apple TV Plus) One of Ray Liotta's final roles (and a much more serious one than he has in Cocaine Bear), Black Bird is a true crime story that turns into an undercover investigation inside of a facility for the criminally insane.
- Reservation Dogs (Hulu) Currently in the middle of a run that has its third season already confirmed, Reservation Dogs is successful enough to get renewed, but still under the radar enough to merit inclusion on this list.

- Man with A Plan
- Last Man Standing
- Fresh Off The Boat
- Young Sheldon
- Malcolm in The Middle
To start off the list, we have ‘Modern Family,’ a mockumentary-style sitcom created by Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan. It follows the multi-cultural, multi-generational Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan and their day-to-day lives. In stark contrast to ‘The Middle,’ it follows the shenanigans of an affluent family, and some would definitely argue t...
‘The Goldbergs‘ is another family sitcom, but with a periodtwist that gives audiences a peek at family life in 80s Pennsylvania. The semi-autobiographical series created by Adam F. Goldberg follows the titular family and how they deal with the rapidly changing world around them. Filled with numerous references to 80s pop culture, the series is a no...
‘Man With A Plan,’ created by Jackie and Jeff Filgo, follows Adam Burns (‘Friends‘ star Matt LeBlanc), a suburban dad who takes on a majority of the parenting duties of his three children after his wife decides to return to work. Compared to ‘The Middle,’ it is the family patriarch who deals with most of his children’s antics. Unlike Mike, who teac...
Created by Jack Burditt, ‘Last Man Standing‘ follows Mike Baxter (Tim Allen), a staunchly conservative American man, and his day-to-day life revolving around his work and family, including his wife and three daughters. It is extremely entertaining to watch Allen bring his comedic genius to the family comedy sub-genre. His character’s stoicism and c...
‘Fresh Off the Boat‘ is a sitcom set in the 90s that revolves around a Taiwanese-American family, the Huangs, who move to Orlando, Florida, where they own and operate a new cowboy-style restaurant. Like the Hecks, the Huang family also comprises three children and is considered a bit of an “odd-ball” in the local community. Similar to the Heck kids...
A spin-off of ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ one of the most popular sitcoms of the 21st century, ‘Young Sheldon‘ (created by Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro) is about the titular boy genius’s childhood days and early family life. His family struggles to deal with his quirky intellectual sensibilities, and the boy struggles to interact, connect, and fit in w...
‘Malcolm in the Middle’ follows an unnamed dysfunctional working-class family comprising the couple, Hal and Lois, and their four (later five) children. Similar to ‘The Middle,’ the initial focus is on one child, Malcolm, who has a genius-level IQ, but later episodes focus on all members equally. Malcolm’s personality is a mix of Sue and Brick’s, a...
- A League of Their Own (Prime Video) You may have heard about the A League of Their Own revival series. I know I shouted about it enough for everyone to hear.
- Sunderland Til I Die (Netflix) Normally, when a TV series has released two seasons and a third is on the way, we'd have heard about it. But yours truly only came across Sunderland Til I Die once my colleague Rory Mellon raved about it, and said that Ted Lasso fans should check it out.
- The Big Door Prize (Apple TV Plus) $7 is all you need to finally try out the streaming service that's putting out great shows that don't really get enough chatter.
- Barry (HBO Max) My personal favorite show on this list, Barry occupies a weird space in the HBO landscape as a sub-Succession success. Barry definitely qualifies as an under-appreciated series.
