Taste-matched follow-ups
These picks stay near the deadpan mob comedy, outsider in exile, and boss employee rivalry feel, then widen out into a few deeper cuts.
Closest matches first, then broader nearby picks.
Why this fits: Der letzte Bulle is a dry, culture-shock crime comedy where a displaced man rebuilds his life through everyday cases and awkward social friction. The humor in Tulsa King comes from clashing codes and loyalty-building, and this one delivers that same outsider recalibration with a similarly unhurried, character-first pace.
Why this fits: Steal keeps the crime-comedy sensibility but turns it into a propulsive heist thriller, with an office worker dragged into escalating danger. Tulsa King’s appeal is watching a hardened outsider earn respect while improvising under pressure, and Steal swaps the slow rebuild for faster jeopardy and sharper momentum.
Why this fits: Murder Mindfully starts as workplace burnout and self-help satire, then spirals into big-city crime chaos with dark jokes and bad decisions. Tulsa King’s deadpan humor and social pressure show up here too, but the contrast is a colder, more frantic spiral where the comedy keeps getting riskier.
Why this fits: Tulsa King’s deadpan mob comedy and outsider-in-exile boss energy make it fun to watch people improvise their way through crime. Cash Queens leans into reckless bank heists and female crew comedy, but it’s more farce-forward and friendship-gone-wrong than slow-burn gangster code clashes.
Why this fits: Tulsa King balances gangster code clashes with family loyalty drama, so the stakes feel personal even when the plot moves slow. Amsterdam Empire keeps the urban survival and boss employee rivalry, but it pushes harder into relationship revenge and infidelity fallout, trading some of the comedy for sharper personal fallout.
Why this fits: Tulsa King’s workplace boss employee rivalry and deadpan crime humor work because the characters keep colliding while they chase their own rules. Will Trent offers wry casework comedy and a trauma-driven investigator with foster-care backstory, but it’s more high-solve procedural than slow-burn gangster politics.
