Taste-matched follow-ups
These picks stay near the historical farce, class satire, and talking-head confessionals feel, then widen out into a few deeper cuts.
Closest matches first, then broader nearby picks.
Why this fits: The deadpan mockumentary humor in 1670 makes everyday local disputes funny, especially when big ambitions meet stubborn practical problems. Ground Up brings that same pleasure to civic projects and workplace disagreements, with talking-head interviews and a community ensemble whose plans keep running into reality.
Why this fits: 1670 turns inflated ambition and local politics into comedy, and New Zealand Spy finds similar laughs in people badly suited to grand plans. Its 1970s recruits and government red tape deflate spy-movie bravado, though the jokes lean more toward bumbling workplace farce than village satire.
Why this fits: 1670 finds comedy in people whose self-image outruns their success, while Evig singel makes romantic misfires funny and painfully recognizable. Its mockumentary style follows lonely people trying earnestly to connect, bringing more awkward tenderness and secondhand embarrassment than the broad historical absurdity of 1670.
1670 turns domestic life into dry comedy, and Solsidan finds its laughs in suburban routines and neighborly satire. Its setting is contemporary rather than historical, so the humor comes from familiar social friction instead of period absurdity.
1670 uses family life for comic friction, while Changing Ends turns awkward childhood memories into warm, self-deprecating autobiographical comedy. It trades historical satire for a more personal account of growing up in 1980s Britain.
1670 makes social maneuvering funny, and Acapulco brings that appeal to workplace climbing at a sun-drenched 1980s resort. Its warm, nostalgic storytelling is more personal and less sharply satirical than the historical comedy of 1670.
