7 TV Comedies You Should Be Watching (but Probably Aren't)

There's so much good TV out there that we can't blame you for skipping a few shows here and there. We just wouldn't want you to miss out on some critically-acclaimed gems that deserve a chance. If you like to laugh, here are seven TV comedies you should probably be into by now. 

'You're The Worst' (FXX)

This twisted, anti-rom-com is just what you need -- if sappy grand gestures make you gag or you're looking for a snarky perspective on what it means to be a couple. The cast is fantastic (Kether Donahue deserves an Emmy, people) and despite all the raunchy and often drug-fueled hilarity, there are some deep emotional moments that will just gut you.

'Difficult People' (Hulu)

Billy Eichner and Julie Klausner are the ultimate hate-that-we-love-them characters in this addictive Hulu series about two self-absorbed comedians. Thanks to the witty and weird plots, endless pop culture skewering, and amazing roster of guest stars, we can't get enough. 

'Master of None' (Netflix)

Aziz Ansari takes on dating in New York City dating life through his uniquely analytical, yet silly, brand of humor. Each episode is like a little vignette from his slice of life -- they tackle race, family, age, and a even an entire year of a new relationship. No wonder it was nominated for four Emmys, including Outstanding Comedy Series. 

'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' (The CW)

All hail this series' star and co-creator Rachel Bloom, who's the kind of actress who will go out on a limb for a laugh or an unforgettable TV moment. Her outrageous musical numbers are a testament to the originality she brings to the genre. This show should satisfy theater geeks and comedy nerds alike. 

'Lady Dynamite' (Netflix)

Maria Bamford plays a comedian who returns to Hollywood after a stay in a psychiatric ward in this off-the-wall exploration of mental health, showbiz, growing up, and humanity. It's wacky, surreal, and even a little dark, but it's one of the most honest and original shows we've seen in years. 

'Catastrophe' (Amazon)

We've seen the accidental pregnancy plot done before, but "Catastrophe" manages to rise above the cliches and get the ups and downs of relationships and parenthood right. Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan's chemistry, coupled with the show's spot-on "that could be me talking" dialogue, makes this underrated comedy a must-watch. 

'Man Seeking Woman' (FXX)

Dating is bizarre, so who wouldn't want to view the everyday perils of looking for a partner through an absurdist fantasy lens? This comedy takes one man's quest for love to surreal heights, using monsters, freakish circumstances, and extreme obstacles to illustrate the crazy process. The show nails it when it comes to something as simple as what it feels like to text a potential date back.
