10 Best Underrated Netflix Original Comedy Series
Buried by the algorithm, these Netflix comedies are sharp, strange, and smarter than most prestige TV — it’s time they got noticed.
Netflix “originals” have always been something of a semantic riddle. Sometimes the platform funds the project from scratch; sometimes it swoops in post-festival with distribution rights and a red N logo. Either way, the result is the same: the show or movie gets shuffled into an algorithmically blurred carousel, released with little fanfare, and forgotten by the next weekend. This is especially true for comedy, a genre that has become increasingly elastic — encompassing animated puberty fever dreams (Big Mouth), mental health dramedies (Feel Good), and fourth-wall-shattering sketch experiments (The Characters, I Think You Should Leave). Netflix’s comedy offerings are often funnier, weirder, and more emotionally resonant than their bigger-budget siblings — and yet the best of them rarely trend.
