Start with the closest match, then check out two more shows with a similar feel, pace, mood, or theme.
German crime comedy about a detective who wakes from a 20-year coma.
Der letzte Bulle delivers fish-out-of-water crime comedy where a displaced man has to rebuild his life while cases keep interrupting his awkward reinvention. Alter Ego’s late-life family shock and reluctant kinship chaos land similarly, but this one leans more on procedural cases and culture-displacement humor than domestic revelations.
In New York City, three strangers who live in the same apartment building and are obsessed with solving crimes must work together to solve real murders that have happened in the apartment building. Together, they come up with many ways to solve the cases.
Only Murders in the Building blends warm neighbor sleuthing with real whodunit tension, so the laughs come from mismatched collaborators under pressure. Alter Ego’s Marseille family collision and generational friction feel close in spirit, but this pick stays lighter and more cozy, with mystery momentum driving the pacing.
A lawyer attends a mindfulness retreat to restore work-life balance but unexpectedly becomes a murderer and mastermind for the mob.
Murder Mindfully starts as dry workplace frustration and then spirals into deadpan crime chaos, with competence getting tested as relationships unravel. Alter Ego’s comedy-crime friction and family fallout are shared, but this one turns darker and faster, trading gentle awkwardness for escalating danger and moral free-fall.
