Taste-matched follow-ups
These picks stay near the warm relationship comedy, tender family comedy, and adoption journey feel, then widen out into a few deeper cuts.
Closest matches first, then broader nearby picks.
Why this fits: Trying and Colin from Accounts find warmth and laughs in adults being honest about their flaws while trying to build a life together. Jason and Nikki face the vulnerability of adoption, while Colin’s two leads stumble into romance through the everyday complications of caring for a dog.
Why this fits: Trying and Shrinking make room for real hurt without losing the humor of people showing up for one another. Jason and Nikki face the fear of being judged unready to parent, while Shrinking’s blunt therapist brings grief into messy friendships and family moments, making its comedy a little sharper.
Why this fits: Trying and Platonic turn the awkward mess of adult relationships into warm, character-led comedy. Jason and Nikki’s devotion steadies the chaos around their adoption journey, while Platonic finds laughs in old friends trying to fit renewed closeness around marriages, careers, and the lives they have built.
Trying makes domestic chaos and couple-centered storytelling feel tender; All the Truth in My Lies brings that relationship focus to a close friend group on a road trip. Buried secrets and romantic complications put more strain on the friendships, making it a broader ensemble comedy than Trying’s family-centered story.
Trying’s gentle emotional comedy makes room for messy feelings, while Psykodrama finds dark humor among actors in a treatment center. It is a more unsettling, less domestic watch, with mental health and the treatment setting shaping the comedy rather than adoption and couple life.
Trying’s warm relationship comedy makes couple banter and family complications part of the fun; Nobody Wants This builds its romance around an opposites-attract couple and family interference. It is more focused on romantic friction and dialogue than Trying’s adoption journey and domestic chaos.
