10 Romantic Comedy Series for the Bitter, Sarcastic, and Hopelessly Romantic

1. You're the Worst

Step right up and behold the marvel of two cynics stumbling into a bizarre romance! Jimmy, a British writer, full of wit and sarcasm, clashes with Gretchen, a music publicist who has a knack for chaos. They despise commitment, but ironically find themselves in a relationship. Let's get real – it's less of a love story and more of a survival guide for two people who don't believe in love stories. It's hilarious, messed up, and oh-so-relatable. Do they end up happily ever after? Wouldn't you like to know!

2. Man Seeking Woman

Josh is an average Joe looking for love. Nothing unusual about that, right? Wrong! His journey includes battling trolls, facing a Japanese penis monster, and even dating a car. Yes, you read that right. This show takes your average dating woes and turns them into outlandish, surreal scenarios. It's as if Salvador Dalí painted a rom-com. It's absurd, it's funny, and it's got the right amount of heart.

3. Love

I know what you're thinking – another show with a generic title. But bear with me here! Meet Mickey, a rebellious spirit with a dubious track record, and Gus, a socially awkward guy trying to figure life out. Two worlds collide when their paths cross, and – you guessed it – sparks fly. But this ain't your typical "meet cute". It's about the nitty-gritty of modern love, from ghosting to commitment issues.

4. Crashing

If there ever was a guide to surviving a breakup by crashing on couches, this is it. Pete, an aspiring comedian, finds himself homeless after a split. With no place to go, he starts couch-surfing at his comedian friends' places. Awkward? Absolutely! And as he navigates this new, absurd life, Pete might just stumble into something that resembles romance. It's less of a rom-com and more of a post-mortem of a failed marriage, sprinkled with comedic bits.

5. Catastrophe

Talk about a whirlwind romance! American guy Rob meets Irish woman Sharon during a business trip to London. A passionate fling ensues, but it gets a tad complicated when Sharon winds up pregnant. Surprise! They decide to give it a shot – you know, the whole marriage and baby thing. But, with no courtship or even knowing each other's middle names, it's a comedy of errors that would give Shakespeare a run for his money. And the dialogue? Sharp as a needle.

6. Insecure

Looking for a bit of self-discovery and love? Meet Issa, a young woman in LA, trying to figure out her career and love life while battling self-doubt. And let's not forget her bestie Molly, who's got her own set of romantic woes. It's like looking into a mirror and seeing all your mistakes and triumphs reflected back. From exes to hook-ups, it's a tumultuous ride that makes you ask, "Am I the only one going through this?" News flash: you're not alone.

7. High Fidelity

Did you ever make a playlist for your crush? Zoë Kravitz stars as Rob, a record store owner who takes it a step further, revisiting her past relationships through songs. She's quirky, she's bitter, and she's oh-so-relatable. As she goes down memory lane with her Top Five breakups, you might just find yourself nodding along.

8. Master of None

Dev, an aspiring actor in NYC, is trying to navigate love, work, and everything in between. Think of it as a romantic comedy, just with a side of identity crisis and cultural clashes. Season 2 has some of the most stunning cinematic shots of Italy, and a love story that'll make you swoon. But here's the catch – it's not all sunshine and roses. Love is messy, right?

9. Difficult People

Here's the setup: two struggling comedians in NYC, best friends, are bitter, sarcastic, and constantly at odds with the world. Julie and Billy, inseparable in their love for snark, try to make it big but usually just end up making enemies. Sure, it's not a traditional rom-com, but it explores friendship in a way that's both hilarious and heartwarming. Their jabs at pop culture alone make it worth a watch.

10. The Other Two

Try to imagine this one: your younger brother becomes an internet sensation overnight, and you're left in the shadows. Not cool, right? That's what happens to Cary and Brooke, two millennials trying to find love and success amidst their brother's newfound fame. As they stumble through various romantic escapades, you can't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. It's a comedy of errors that's as bitter as it is sweet.
