Taste-matched follow-ups
Use this page for more platonic marriage comedy, friends to lovers, and easygoing romantic comedy without retreading the same show. Every pick is a recent premiere or a returning season.
Closest matches first, then broader nearby picks.
Why this fits: Settling makes shared-home friction funny and tender, and Head Girl finds the same warmth in flatmates whose clashing plans keep spilling into the kitchen. Its wry jokes and household loyalty feel familiar, though the focus shifts from a platonic marriage to three young women figuring out work, dating, and creative dreams.
Why this fits: Settling and The Four Seasons both find comedy and tenderness in close relationships, where familiar people know how to get under each other’s skin. Awkward dinners and sharp banter carry the laughs in each, while the getaway episodes bring older friends’ divorce and aging into a more bittersweet, adult story.
Why this fits: Settling turns family expectations and marriage into easygoing comedy, while Ms. X also finds humor in the mess of married life and old friendships. The familiar New Zealand setting and quick-witted exchanges offer a point of recognition, but Ms. X is much darker, with secrets and danger piling up after a plan goes wrong.
Settling makes awkward family dinners and a loyal friendship the heart of its platonic-marriage comedy; All the Truth in My Lies brings that friendship-and-romance tangle into a bachelorette caravan trip. The group banter is brisker, but buried secrets turn the cramped journey into a source of hurt feelings and emotional showdowns.
Settling turns roommate habits and family pressure into easygoing comedy, while It Gets Worse finds laughs in three friends’ eviction, bad dates, and money trouble. Its affectionate bickering keeps the friendship warm, but the London rent crisis and messy adult chores make the comedy more frantic and cringe-prone.
Settling’s platonic marriage makes shared-home habits and loyal bickering part of its romantic comedy; Brothers turns longtime friends sharing a Texas ranch into a relaxed odd-couple hangout. Expect more porch banter and ranch chores than family dinners or romantic uncertainty, with self-contained episodes and a sunnier, lighter touch.
