Zatima

BET+ • May 12 • 2022
ComedyDrama

Follow Zac and Fatima as they navigate the ups and downs of their relationship.

Why This Pick

Zatima leans into the same feel-good romance and close-quarters relationship tension that Sweet Magnolias fans enjoy. The couple’s push-pull plays out in daily routines and small arguments, with warmth and jokes landing alongside real stakes, and it stays lighter and more couple-focused than the larger ensemble.

The Upshaws poster

The Upshaws

Netflix • Jan 15 • 2021
ComedyDrama

A working-class African American family in Indiana struggles to make it work and make it right with no blueprints.

Why This Pick

The Upshaws brings the family-centered warmth of Sweet Magnolias, where friendships and loyalties get tested in messy, funny moments. Money stress and deception spark recurring friction inside a blended working-class household, and the comedy hits harder while still keeping the heart close, but it’s rowdier and less romance-forward.
