Closest matches first, then broader nearby picks.

  1. Closest match

    Sat.1 · Nov 24, 2025

    Der letzte Bulle

    Why this fits: Tulsa King and Der letzte Bulle both lean on fish-out-of-water crime comedy, where a man has to rebuild his life after being pushed out of his old world. In Der letzte Bulle, the humor comes from generational and cultural friction during everyday cases, while the danger stays grounded and the pacing stays unhurried.

    • fish-out-of-water
    • culture shock
  2. Hubert ohne Staller poster

    Direct match

    Das Erste · Nov 12, 2025

    Hubert ohne Staller

    IMDb 7.7

    Why this fits: Tulsa King’s dry, character-driven crime humor fits right next to Hubert ohne Staller’s relaxed buddy-cop bickering. You get murder cases as a backdrop, but the scenes run on two officers clashing personalities, reluctant cooperation, and steady workplace tension that turns into real team loyalty.

    • crime comedy
    • mismatched partners
  3. The Apartment Job poster

    Direct match

    Netflix · Jul 11, 2026

    The Apartment Job

    IMDb 7.1

    Why this fits: Tulsa King’s outsider rebuilding networks pairs well with The Apartment Job’s dark con comedy, where every joke has a cost attached. The Apartment Job keeps escalating deception and double-cross pressure, so the humor lands alongside danger and fast pacing, with trust between the leads becoming the main problem.

    • dry situational humor
    • con artists
  4. Turn of the Tide poster

    Deeper cut

    Netflix · Apr 10, 2026

    Turn of the Tide

    IMDb 7.4
    Why this fits

    Tulsa King’s deadpan mob comedy and outsider-in-exile slow-burn crime focus on a man trying to keep control while loyalty gets tested. Turn of the Tide leans into isolated pressure and ordinary lives unraveling, with tight-knit friend fallout and greed-fueled desperation taking over more quietly and relentlessly.

    • slow-burn crime drama
    • tight-knit friend fallout
    • ordinary lives unravel
  5. Cash Queens poster

    Deeper cut

    Netflix · Feb 5, 2026

    Cash Queens

    IMDb 6.4
    Why this fits

    Tulsa King’s boss-employee rivalry and gangster code clashes play like a pressure cooker where every favor costs something. Cash Queens keeps that crime-comedy momentum but turns it into reckless bank heists and improvised chaos with a female crew, trading Tulsa’s slow-burn gangster politics for faster, more farcical action bursts.

    • reckless bank heists
    • friendship gone wrong
    • crime farce
  6. King of the Hill poster

    Deeper cut

    Hulu · Jul 20, 2026

    King of the Hill

    IMDb 7.6
    Why this fits

    Tulsa King balances family loyalty drama with deadpan humor as the consequences of bad choices creep in. King of the Hill offers quiet domestic warmth and dry suburban comedy instead, using low-key ensemble banter and conspiracy paranoia humor to keep the focus on everyday awkwardness rather than organized-crime fallout.

    • dry suburban comedy
    • quiet domestic warmth
    • earnest straight-man
