Trying

Tryingfollows married couple Nikki Newman (Esther Smith) and Jason Ross (Rafe Spall), who decide to adopt children after struggling to conceive naturally. This sets off an amusing chain of events as they navigate new challenges of raising adopted children.

Much likeTed Lasso, Trying,which was one ofthree new Apple TV Plus shows with over 80% on Rotten Tomatoes,is a feel-good comedy that explores similar themes of family and teamwork with plenty of humor and heart. While both shows have an emotional edge about serious topics, they still manage to keep it light and optimistic in tone through a cast of lovable characters.

Bad Monkey

Bad Monkeyis another big Apple TV Plus comedy fromTed Lassoco-creator Bill Lawrence. Based on Carl Hiaasen’s novel of the same name, the showstars Vince Vaughn as Andrew Yancy, a former Miami Police department member turned health inspector in Southern Florida.

Vaughn’s quirky charm as the witty investigator matchesTed Lasso’spositive vibes and appeals to fans of awkward humor like we see in Sudeikis' sports comedy.

Shrinking

Shrinkingshares creative DNA withTed Lassoas it has two of its creators: Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein (Goldstein also plays the lead role of Roy Kent inTed Lasso). InShrinking,Jason Segel plays grieving therapist Jimmy who starts to break the rules and become drastically more involved in his patients lives as a way to deal with his wife’s death.

Shrinkingtackles more serious topics compared toTed Lassoas it deals with grief, PTSD, mental health, and addiction. However, where it is most similar toTed Lassois the brilliant writing and genuine laugh-out-loud humor, with each character bringing their own unique quality to the show. I must also add that Harrison Ford is particularly hilarious as senior therapist and Jimmy’s grumpy emotional confidant Dr. Paul Rhoades.
