Start with the closest match, then check out two more shows with a similar feel, pace, mood, or theme.
A family of aliens move to middle America, where they debate whether life is better there or on their home planet.
Solar Opposites keeps the far-future comedy engine running with fast jokes, sci-fi mishaps, and constant domestic friction. Like Futurama, it leans on bureaucratic absurdity and eccentric characters, but swaps Fry’s solo fish-out-of-water energy for a blended-family setup with sharper control-and-rebellion humor.
After his premature death, a man's consciousness is uploaded into a virtual world. As he gets comfortable with his surroundings, questions about his death arise.
Upload delivers near-future tech comedy with a wry, patient pace, where jokes land alongside a mystery that tightens over episodes. Like Futurama, it uses corporate systems and everyday absurdity to keep things moving, but it trades slapstick chaos for more intimate, suspense-tinged afterlife dilemmas.
An animated series on adult-swim about the infinite adventures of Rick, a genius alcoholic and careless scientist, with his grandson Morty, a 14 year-old anxious boy who is not so smart. Together, they explore the infinite universes; causing mayhem and running into trouble.
Rick and Morty brings the same high-speed sci-fi riffing and character-driven danger, with jokes that keep escalating even when things get bleak. Like Futurama, it thrives on tech gone wrong and family pressure, but it’s darker and more relentless, with multiverse mayhem that rarely softens into warmth.
