Each season of John Wilson's comedy show consists of six 25-minute tutorial-style episodes filmed on the streets of New York City. With its unique flavor of humor and the weirdest real-life experiences and interactions captured on camera, this docuseries is like nothing you've ever seen before. As a bonus, the show gets even better on rewatch, revealing new layers of comedy.

Kingdom (2019–2020, 3 seasons, 91%)

The South Korean period horror series is a real gem. Imagine a zombie apocalypse mixed with a political thriller and set in 16th-century Korea. Of course, the Kingdom of Joseon is a fictional country, but it still has a unique old Asia vibe. All in all, Kingdom is hands down one of the best zombie shows out there, and there are a lot of them.

Mr. Inbetween (2018–2021, 3 seasons, 97%)

The Australian crime series adapts the 2005 film The Magician, expanding the story of its main character, hitman Ray Shoesmith, portrayed by Scott Ryan. There is a lot of black humor and brilliant creative decisions in the way Ray balances his personal life and family obligations with the work of a professional killer.

Man Seeking Woman (2015–2017, 3 seasons, 87%)

Although it was canceled after just three seasons, the FXX rom-com is a lucky find for anyone who enjoys surrealistic humor. Main character Josh Greenberg (Jay Baruchel) is a naive romantic on a quest to find love. Along the way, Josh finds himself in the most bizarre situations imaginable, including dating a troll, losing his penis, and encountering a Japanese monster made of human penises.

Spaced (1999–2001, 2 seasons, 94%)

Created by and starring Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes, and directed by Edgar Wright, the sitcom feels like an early formula for the Three Flavors Cornetto trilogy. To make the resemblance even more striking, Spaced features Nick Frost, an episode involving Scottish speed, booze, and Resident Evil, and of course, that unique brand of British humor we enjoy in all Wright projects.
