    Closest match

    STARZ · Jun 12, 2026

    The Listeners

    IMDb 5.3

    Why this fits: We Are All Trying Here and The Listeners both lean into quiet, inward-facing tension where isolation and doubt live in everyday routines. A woman’s private fears build slowly, and the show keeps you watching the gap between what she knows and what others will hold onto, then turns it warmer and more domestic.

    • psychological edge
    • family life
  2. Psykodrama poster

    Direct match

    TV 2 Play · Nov 6, 2025

    Psykodrama

    Why this fits: Psykodrama keeps the same focus on mental strain as We Are All Trying Here, but it wraps that pressure in jokes and awkward, close-to-the-skin moments. Inside therapy life, two people collide with their own thoughts while trying to function, so the pacing stays character-close and lighter, even when the feelings get heavy.

  3. L/over – ikuisesti minun poster

    Direct match

    MTV3 · Jan 25, 2026

    L/over – ikuisesti minun

    Why this fits: We Are All Trying Here and L/over – ikuisesti minun share a slow-burn focus on dread and secrets that stay personal rather than explosive. The tension tightens through controlled, deliberate scenes and what characters keep to themselves, making the experience darker and more thriller-leaning than the gentler, inward drama of We Are All Trying Here.

    • psychological tension
    • slow dread
  4. Museum of Innocence poster

    Deeper cut

    Netflix · Feb 13, 2026

    Museum of Innocence

    IMDb 7.2
    Why this fits

    Museum of Innocence leans into obsessive romance and slow-burn longing, with characters collecting tokens that keep a fixation alive. If We Are All Trying Here is about unhurried self-reflection and jealousy, this one adds class-bound period melancholy and longer arcs of unrequited fixation.

    • obsessive romance
    • slow-burn longing
    • collecting tokens
  5. Nepobaby poster

    Deeper cut

    TV 2 Play · Oct 23, 2025

    Nepobaby

    Why this fits

    Nepobaby centers on class conflict and marriage pressure, with money distorting family decisions and turning everyday life into a pressure cooker. Where We Are All Trying Here follows quiet psychological drama and lonely comparison feelings, this pick feels more confrontational through mother-daughter dynamics and financial stakes.

  6. The Ridge poster

    Deeper cut

    Acorn TV · Jul 27, 2026

    The Ridge

    IMDb 5.4
    Why this fits

    The Ridge brings quiet dread mystery to a small town, where grief curdles into suspicion and an outsider can’t stay safe. Compared to We Are All Trying Here’s unhurried inner peace journey and emotional focus, this one is more procedural and suspense-driven, with family tragedy fallout driving the plot.

    • quiet dread mystery
    • grief-to-paranoia
    • small-town secrets
