What to Watch on Netflix After You've Binged Dead to Me

Not going to lie, Judy and Jen's dark and twisty friendship is very reminiscent of Meredith and Cristina's on Grey's Anatomy. The everlasting medical drama has had its fair share of plot twists and weepy moments as well, though you won't see much murder on it.

Similar to Dead to Me, Catfight pinpoints the tensions in female friendships. The film underlines the twisted relationship between two college friends, Veronica (Sandra Oh), a wealthy housewife, and Ashley (Anne Heche), a struggling artist. After a particularly violent fight, things turn a 180 for these two women.

Jen might know the feeling of doing whatever she can to support her kids. Weeds' Nancy is a suburban widow and mother who starts dealing pot to keep up with her family's lifestyle after her husband dies.

In Dead to Me, Judy and Jen grapple with doing ethical things after committing various crimes. The four humans in Michael Schur's witty comedy navigate ethics as well, although in a broader sense of the word as they better themselves. Both shows are warm and funny, but definitely have a bite to them.

The talented Sophia Lillis leads I Am Not Okay With This, Netflix's series based on Charles Forsman's comic book of the same name. While navigating a family tragedy (much like Jen), her character Syd discovers that she has superpowers.

Applegate and Cardellini play some of the most complicated women that you'll see onscreen. In the darkly funny Young Adult, Charlize Theron, likewise, portrays a messy and vulnerable female writer who returns to her hometown after her ex announces that his wife just had a baby.

We don't know if Judy and Jen will ever spend time behind bars for their crimes, but a jail plot might just share the wit of Netflix's Orange Is the New Black. The series follows the misadventures of Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling) as she forms bonds with fellow inmates at the women's prison where she's incarcerated.

Russian Doll has a witty and dark vibe that's very much like that of Dead to Me. Natasha Lyonne plays Nadia, a woman who finds herself living her 36th birthday over and over again — only to die each time.

As Jen navigates her late husband's death in Dead to Me, Tony (Ricky Gervais) tries to make sense of things after his wife passes away in After Life. He takes on a rough persona to push away the people in his life, but the Judies in his life are determined to help him.

What's better than Paul Rudd in a show? Two Paul Rudds! In Living With Yourself, a depressed and uninspired man undergoes a sketchy procedure that makes an exact clone of himself, who ends up charming his wife and colleagues. Like Dead to Me, the series strikes that delicate balance between darkness, humour, and heart. It's also quite bingeable, coming in 30-minute episodes.

As Judy and Jen keep secrets between themselves, Eva (Shirley MacLaine) and Maddie (Jessica Lange) pull off a bit of a heist themselves. When Eva learns that her husband's insurance accidentally gave her too much money, she and her friend head off to the holiday of their dreams.

One of the things that bonds Judy and Jen is how much they genuinely care for the kids on the show. On the witty Canadian show Workin' Moms, four mothers grapple with the challenges of being career women with children.

Leaning more into humour than dark twists, Grace and Frankie features, like Dead to Me, two witty and deeply developed female leads. The titular characters strike up an unlikely friendship after their husbands come out of the closet and make plans to marry.

On the flip side, if you're more into the twisted side of Dead to Me, check out You. You's Joe (Penn Badgley) has Jen's dry humour, but he carries much more murderous tendencies as he hunts down the people in his love interest's life and harbors secrets beneath his bookstore.

New Girl isn't quite as dark as Dead to Me, but the similarities between Judy Hale and Jessica Day (Zooey Deschanel) run deep (besides their bangs). Upbeat and sweet, Jess navigates a new chapter in her life with her apartment full of guys. While there's no manslaughter or money laundering, New Girl offers plenty of drama to keep you coming back.

Wine Country is a note sweeter than Dead to Me, but Amy Poehler's directorial debut also explores the fun and messiness between friends. It follows a group of women as they celebrate one of their own's 50th birthday in the beautiful Napa Valley. However, the weekend getaway isn't always rosy when tensions flare.
