#1 Widow's Bay
4.6

Humor is one of the show’s clearest strengths: dry, dark, character-driven, and often working with the scares instead of against them.

Pros: genre satisfaction, suspense

#2 Small Prophets
4.5

Dry workplace wind-ups, nosy neighbors, and recurring visual gags draw strong praise. The gentle approach can also feel juvenile or too quirky for some tastes.

Pros: entertainment value, story quality

#3 Last Seen
4.5

Brief flashes of humor through Ian’s bleakness are praised for making him feel more human without disrupting the show’s somber tone.

Pros: story quality, genre satisfaction

Cons: realism, season pacing

#4 Pluribus, Season 1
4.3

Dark, absurd humor is a major part of the appeal, repeatedly breaking the tension without undercutting the unsettling premise.

Pros: acting quality, story quality

Cons: season pacing, character likability

#5 Slow Horses, Season 6
4.3

The caustic workplace comedy and Lamb’s insults still land for most critics, even against a much bleaker story. A few reviewers felt the one-liners were less sharp than in earlier...

Pros: main cast performance, humor

Cons: plot originality

#6 Margo’s Got Money Troubles
4.2

Many reviews call the show funny, sharp, or even hilarious, especially when family chaos meets wrestling and online performance. A few critics found the laughs scarce or overshadowed by drama.

Pros: audience appeal, character development

Cons: season pacing, season length

#7 Mayday
4.1

The comedy usually lands through Branagh’s deadpan work, visual gags, and lead banter, but Reynolds fatigue and some broad third-act silliness divide reviewers.

Pros: entertainment value, action sequences

Cons: rewatch value, runtime

#8 Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, Season 1
3.8

The comedy works best as dark, situational relief around Paula’s chaos. Several reviewers enjoy the jokes and banter, but others say the humor is too soft or too sparse for...

Pros: main cast performance, supporting cast performance

Cons: plot clarity, season pacing

#9 Ted Lasso, Season 4
3.5

Comedy is one of the most divisive areas: some episodes deliver laugh-out-loud banter and classic Lasso lines, while others feel short on gags or overly broad.

Pros: humor, sports storyline quality

Cons: story quality, character development

#10 Dark Matter, Season 2
3.2

A few episodes find welcome comedy and farcical energy, but at least one critic strongly dislikes the show’s generally glum lack of levity.

Pros: story quality, theme depth

Cons: plot clarity, season pacing

#11 Brothers (2026)
3.1

Comedy is the biggest fault line: some found the show genuinely or even extremely funny, while many others called the jokes stale, mild, or inconsistent. The best laughs usually come...

Pros: cast chemistry, supporting cast performance

Cons: humor, story quality

#12 Matchbox The Movie
2.9

Richardson’s reactions and Castro’s overconfidence earn laughs, but plentiful quips land unevenly and sometimes sabotage the action.

Pros: action sequences, lead performance

Cons: entertainment value, faithfulness to source material

#13 Star City, Season 1
2.0

Humor is one of the show’s weakest traits. More than one critic finds the Soviet setting so dour and humorless that some characters struggle to pop.

Pros: character development, spin-off quality

Cons: accent authenticity, plot clarity
