With so many TV shows being released every year, it’s not surprising that a lot of them are eventually forgotten. Even though we’ve moved from watching cable to streaming, the number of new shows hasn’t decreased.
With so many streaming services releasing new and returning shows all the time, it’s become harder than ever to keep up with everything. It’s easy for good shows to get lost in the shuffle, and honestly, a lot of them aren’t worth remembering anyway. But these seven shows are different – they’re truly great, yet somehow almost forgotten.
Dead To Me
The Netflix series Dead to Me premiered in 2019 and quickly became popular with viewers. Starring Christina Applegate as Jen Harding, Linda Cardellini as Judy Hale, and James Marsden as Steve Wood, the show follows the complicated bond that develops between Jen and Judy as Jen deals with the pain of losing her husband in a hit-and-run accident.
Beyond its impressive cast and strong performances, Dead to Me is a really engaging dark comedy that occasionally feels like a psychological thriller. While the first season is definitely the best, the show remains enjoyable throughout, and it’s worth remembering and revisiting.
Workin’ Moms
I absolutely love Workin’ Moms! It’s a Canadian show that thankfully ended up on Netflix, and it’s just so charming and funny. It definitely leans into that millennial sense of humor, which I find really relatable. The show follows a group of moms, and let me tell you, they are not supermoms! It’s hilariously messy – think day drinking, complicated relationships, and parenting choices you’ll definitely question – but that’s what makes it so good. It’s just genuinely funny and feels so real.
While Workin’ Moms is funny, it also presents a much more realistic portrayal of motherhood than many other shows. These mothers are imperfect, make mistakes, and often figure things out as they go – a far cry from the polished image of ‘gentle parenting’ you see elsewhere.
Divorce
Even though Divorce stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Thomas Haden Church – both incredibly talented and popular actors – it doesn’t get the attention it deserves. The show, as the title suggests, follows Frances (Parker) and Robert (Church) as they come to terms with the fact that their marriage isn’t working. Instead of focusing on a dramatic or overly negative breakup, Divorce offers a realistic portrayal of their situation over its three seasons.
What makes Divorce so compelling – and definitely worth watching – is its unique approach. Unlike most shows and movies, it doesn’t begin or end with the divorce itself. Instead, it thoroughly examines all stages of divorce and co-parenting: what happens before, during, and after a couple splits up.
Good Girls
Among the shows listed, Good Girls likely achieved the broadest appeal, but it still deserves more attention. The series, which premiered in 2018, starred Christina Hendricks, Retta, and Mae Whitman as three ordinary suburban women who unexpectedly find themselves committing crimes and struggling to escape the consequences.
Similar to Dead to Me, Good Girls was strongest in its first few seasons. Sadly, it was cancelled before the story could finish, leaving it somewhat incomplete. Despite this, it’s a genuinely excellent show that’s worth watching and remembering – especially for iconic lines like “Get in the car, Elizabeth!”
Sharp Objects
Amy Adams is a well-respected actress, and for good reason. While many people know her from Disney films, the series Sharp Objects is a must-see. It’s a unique murder mystery where Adams plays Camille, a woman investigating a crime while also grappling with her own difficult past. Her personal struggles are just as central to the story as the mystery itself.
Beyond its strong story, the show features two genuinely surprising plot twists that are cleverly done. As a complete story in just eight episodes, Sharp Objects feels satisfying and doesn’t require any prior knowledge. Combined with Amy Adams’ excellent acting, it’s a series that truly deserves to be remembered.
The Undoing
I just finished watching The Undoing, and it’s another gripping, limited-series murder mystery in the vein of Sharp Objects. Seriously, the cast is phenomenal – Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant play a married couple who appear to have it all, until a shocking murder throws their lives into complete chaos. When a young mother from their child’s school is killed, everything they thought they knew about each other – and themselves – starts to unravel. It’s a real page-turner!
Like many shows, The Undoing keeps you guessing with unexpected plot twists. However, what really stands out are the actors’ performances. Nicole Kidman has an impressive filmography, but her work in this series is some of her best in recent years and deserves more recognition.
Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003)
When Star Wars fans hear “The Clone Wars,” they usually think of the popular 2008 TV series featuring Ahsoka Tano, which ran for seven seasons. But before that show, a different series called Star Wars: Clone Wars came out in 2003. Though it isn’t officially part of the main Star Wars story, it’s a really good show that deserves more recognition.
Similar to the newer Clone Wars series, this Star Wars: Clone Wars takes place between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, and centers around Anakin Skywalker. However, it stands out thanks to its distinctive 2D animation style created by Genndy Tartakovsky, and the unique stories it tells. Even though it’s not officially part of the main Star Wars story, this series is definitely worth watching and remembering.
