5 Shows Like Tiny Beautiful Things to Watch

After Life

If you truly resonated with what Tiny Beautiful Things had to offer, then you cannot miss out on Ricky Gervais’ After Life. A dark comedy with themes of life interwoven against the background of death, the series is created, written, produced, and directed by Ricky Gervais, who also happens to play the lead character Tony Johnson- a man whose life is turned upside down after the death of his beloved wife. You can watch the show, here.

Fleabag

When we talk about darkness and comedy going hand in hand, it would be a tragedy to not mention Phoebe Waller Bridge’s groundbreaking show Fleabag in the list, which over time has become a cult favourite. With breaking the fourth wall, Bridge headlines the series as the titular character of a free-spirited, angry, confused and hugely misunderstood young woman living in London. The supporting cast includes Sian Clifford, Andrew Scott and others. Watch it now on Amazon Prime Video.

Dead to Me

Grief and bonding form the core of Dead to Me which is hilarious in its storytelling and deep with its theme of balancing life and death. Another Liz Feldman which had to be on this list, the show stars Christina Applegate as Jen Harding and Linda Cardellini as Judy Hale in major roles, supported by James Marsden, Max Jenkins, Sam McCarthy, Luke Roessler and several others. You can stream it now on Netflix.

Sorry for Your Loss

Before Marvel made Elizabeth Olsen a household name, she really had some landmark roles to look up to. From Wind River to Sorry for Your Loss, Olsen has always been a tremendous actor one can say. In this Kit Steinkellner drama, Olsen leads the storyline about a young widow struggling with her life as she copes with her husband’s death.

This Way Up

Sometimes a sitcom is all you need and, this Channel 4 comedy-drama fits this list like a glove telling the story of a young Irish woman recovering from a nervous breakdown as she lives her life in London. Aisling Bea plays the role of the protagonist Áine in this show that is now available on Hulu.
