Who needs therapy when you have comedy? (Okay, maybe still therapy.) But 2024 blessed us with a lineup of shows that hit every shade of funny—awkward, absurd, and outright ridiculous. From haunted hotels to highway robbers with great hair, here’s what you should be bingeing instead of doom-scrolling.
12 Highest-Rated Comedy Shows Of 2024 To Watch On Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, JioCinema And More
Abbott Elementary (Season Four)
Where to watch: Disney+ Hotstar
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 99%
Philadelphia’s most underfunded, overachieving school is back, and the teachers are still barely holding it together. This season? Gentrification hits the neighbourhood, the kids discover TikTok activism, and Principal Ava is somehow even more chaotic (yes, it’s possible). Heartwarming, hilarious, and a little too real for anyone who’s worked in education.
Colin From Accounts (Season Two)
Where to watch: JioCinema
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 100%
Meet Gordon, Ashley, and the dog that accidentally brings them together (don’t ask, just watch). This Australian rom-com series is like if The Office had a baby with When Harry Met Sally—awkward flirting, quirky side characters, and plenty of moments to make you cringe-laugh.
Creature Commandos
Where to watch: JioCinema
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 95%
Prisoners? Check. Black ops team? Check. Unlikely hilarity? Double check. This animated DC adventure throws together a group of misfit antiheroes for missions that are equal parts dangerous and ridiculous. Think Suicide Squad but with more jokes (and less Will Smith slapping people).
Bad Monkey
Where to watch: Apple TV
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 93%
A health inspector-turned-reluctant detective gets tangled in a mystery involving a severed human arm. Between eccentric suspects and his own questionable life choices, Andrew Yancy is somehow the most chaotic thing in a show about a severed limb. Dark humour meets Florida's absurdity—what’s not to love?
Conan O’Brien Must Go
Where to watch: JioCinema
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 94%
Conan does what Conan does best: travel the world, roast himself, and somehow make you want to book a one-way ticket to Iceland. Expect hilarious misadventures, questionable local delicacies, and the occasional existential crisis.
Curb Your Enthusiasm (Season Twelve)
Where to watch: JioCinema
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 92%
Larry David is back, and somehow still mad about everything. Whether he’s arguing with his neighbours, offending celebrities, or just being his gloriously awkward self, this season reminds us that life is one long cringe-fest—and we love it.
English Teacher
Where to watch: Disney+ Hotstar
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 98%
Evan Marquez, a high school English teacher in Texas, tries to teach Shakespeare while dodging PTA drama and teenage TikTok trends. It’s smart, sharp, and a must-watch for anyone who’s ever tried to survive a school staff meeting.
Ghosts (Season Four)
Where to watch: JioCinema
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 97%
Jay and Samantha inherit a crumbling country estate—plus a bunch of quirky ghosts who refuse to leave. Turning the house into a hotel seems like a good idea until you throw in centuries of unresolved ghost drama. Think Beetlejuice meets The Office but with more Victorian sass.
Agatha All Along
Where to watch: Disney+ Hotstar
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 84%
Marvel’s favourite witch is back, and this time she’s hunting for lost powers while dodging her past. It’s campy, chaotic, and full of dark humour that proves Agatha really is that girl (and not just because of the catchy theme song).
The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin
Where to watch: Apple TV
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 84%
Imagine Robin Hood, but if he was a highway robber with a good blowout and even better insults. This historical comedy is 99% nonsense and 100% entertaining. Expect ridiculous heists, fabulous costumes, and a lot of fourth-wall-breaking hijinks.
John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A.
Where to watch: Netflix
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 83%
John Mulaney dives headfirst into the quirks of Los Angeles, from green juice obsession to its endless parade of “actors.” It’s observational humour at its finest, and you’ll never look at kombucha the same way again.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 91%
Marriage is hard. Marriage when you’re both secret agents? Even harder. This reboot of the 2005 movie brings spy-vs-spy energy to suburban life, with plenty of explosions and one-liners to keep things spicy.
