Acapulco

Apple TV • Jul 23 • 2021

ComedyDrama

A successful Mexican businessman reminisces to his nephew about his younger years in 1980s Acapulco, when he got his dream job working at the hottest resort in town.

Strongest Match

Acapulco delivers the same workplace friction-to-respect arc as Hacks, but with a warmer, bilingual resort backdrop and lots of barbed banter. The show’s social climbing among coworkers and the gap between youthful ambition and adult hindsight create that slow-burn, character-first comedy-drama payoff, just more nostalgic and relaxed.

Death Inc.

Netflix • Aug 21 • 2024

Comedy

After the founder's death, his widow defies expectations by taking over the funeral home against the right-hand man's plans, facing competition, internal conflicts and a #metoo case that threatens the company's legacy.

View show

Why This Pick

Death Inc. keeps the boss-employee power games and sharp workplace jokes that make Hacks hit, only the setting is a funeral home. Succession rivalry, gender politics, and succession maneuvering inside one contained organization give you the same kind of tension where everyone needs something, but the tone stays darker and more corporate.

Shrinking

Apple TV • Jan 28 • 2023

DramaComedy

A grieving therapist starts to tell his clients exactly what he thinks. Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge changes to people's lives - including his own.

View show

Why This Pick

Shrinking shares Hacks’ comedy-drama balance, where professional roles crack under personal mess, and the funniest moments come from people refusing to behave. Therapist honesty spills into workplace and friendship life with blunt, chaotic timing, making it faster and more emotionally messy than Hacks’ measured mentorship friction.
