Dark Comedy Series Like Netflix’s Wednesday
Here are some dark comedy shows to watch while you wait for ‘Wednesday’ season 2:
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (Netflix, IMDb Rating: 7.4/10)
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina puts a dark spin on the classic Sabrina story. The show follows Sabrina Spellman who comes from a mixed heritage—part human, part witch, while battling evil forces that threaten her town. Like Riverdale, it's a gritty take on a classic comic, exploring themes of murder, demons, and darkness. Yet, despite the dark tone, the show humour, making it a unique watch.
The White Lotus (Netflix, IMDb Rating: 8/10)
The White Lotus is a show about wealthy tourists in Hawaii who land themselves into often disturbing situations due to their privilege and entitlement. It's fun to watch the rich get roasted, but what makes the show really engaging is how it exposes the problems that come with privilege. You see how the people working in the hotel and service industry go out of their way to cater to the guests, but it often gets taken for granted. The show is clever, funny, and hits close to home, making it stand out from other shows about class differences.
This Is Going To Hurt (Amazon Prime Video, IMDb Rating: 8.4/10)
‘This Is Going to Hurt’ is a dark comedy that follows Adam, a junior doctor played by Ben Whishaw, as he navigates the chaotic and under-resourced maternity ward of an NHS hospital. The show gives a raw and honest look at the realities of working in a public hospital. With Adam frequently breaking the fourth wall, it's like we're right there with him, witnessing the intense pressures and personal costs faced by both patients and medical staff.
