Taste-matched follow-ups

Closest matches first, then broader nearby picks.
Why this fits: Der letzte Bulle and Private Eyes West Coast make crime cases fun through mismatched partners and easygoing banter. The investigations give each episode shape, while the characters’ fresh starts and comic friction keep the focus on people rather than danger.
Why this fits: Der letzte Bulle and Tulsa King find comedy in a tough man trying to get his bearings in a world that has changed around him. One leans on a detective’s culture shock after a long coma; the other lets a mobster’s dry reactions and uneasy new alliances carry the laughs, with more danger in the mix.
Why this fits: Der letzte Bulle and A Man on the Inside turn an outsider’s awkward adjustment into warm, character-led comedy, with crime providing a light frame. A detective wakes to a world that moved on, while an older amateur investigator navigates unfamiliar workplace bonds; the latter is gentler and more focused on family connection.
Der letzte Bulle makes crime entertaining through comedy and a detective’s cases; The Apartment Job turns that crime-comedy appeal toward elaborate cons and mismatched partners. Its high-speed capers and corruption satire bring more deception and double-crosses, rather than a police-case focus.
Der letzte Bulle’s crime comedy and case-solving make room for Only Murders in the Building’s amateur sleuthing and neighborly mysteries. The investigation is less police-centered and gentler in tone, with mismatched partners following comic misdirection toward a surprise-ending whodunit.
Der letzte Bulle blends crime with comedy, while Murder Mindfully brings dark crime comedy to workplace dysfunction and family conflict. Its self-help satire and accidental criminal angle make the trouble more personal and entangled with organized crime than a detective-led case.
