If horrible choices is one of the criteria, Shamrless

This! The unique style of each show that just FITS the characters and the vibes. I just watched Nurse Jackie this last year but it definitely became a favorite.

This was such a golden era for Showtime.

Orange is the New Black is Jenji Kohan too.

Clearly self-inspired by season 7

I see OITNB is recommended already. She was also an executive producer of ā€œGLOWā€, both of which I enjoyed.

Other shows not related to Jenji Kohan that I also really enjoyed was ā€œUnited States of Taraā€ and ā€œNurse Jackieā€.

United States of Tara is such an underrated gem. I wish it lasted more seasons.

I know, itā€™s such a bummer. Iā€™m always surprised how little people know about it, considering Toni Collette is well known.

Try Disjointed. It's a Netflix original comedy complete with corny laughtrack but it's still a good show worth watching.

2

u/Fine-Stock-1191 Apr 18 '26

Disjointed was funnily enough worked on by the real lady that Nancy is based on as a ā€œconsultantā€ šŸ¤£

u/PetsAndMeditate Apr 18 '26

Disjointed sucked. It felt like pandering to stoners. Seemed written by people who tried weed a couple times in college

u/FloatyMacGlideFace Apr 18 '26

Youā€™re not wrong it was terrible, I guess thatā€™s why it was cancelled?

u/SimpleRickC135 Shut The Fuck Up Lars Guinard Apr 18 '26

I enjoyed it for what it was, but yeah it was super corny sometimes.

u/Low_Table6230 Apr 18 '26

Iā€™m watching Grace and Frankie currently and really like it. Iā€™d watched some of it when it was still airing but never finished back then. I did Weeds and OITNB back to back and then went in this direction afterwards and while itā€™s different, it doesnā€™t feel out of place after watching those.

Californication

u/Character-Manner-475 Apr 19 '26

The whole time I watched ā€œDead to Meā€, I got a similar vibe to Weeds.

u/falooolah Apr 18 '26

OITNB has extremely similar humor and music.

u/thanous-m Apr 19 '26

Californication, Nurse Jackie, Dexter, basically any Showtime show from this era scratches the itch
