Students from a California high school struggle with addiction, sexual identity, and other pressing topics.
Why it is one of the best A24 TV shows: There are many other great teen drama TV series that tackle the common issues listed above, but few that explore them with as much raw, unapologetically graphic honesty as creator Sam Levinson’s Euphoria, which is also one of the best TV shows on Max today.

Beef (2023)
A series of increasingly drastic, life-changing circumstances for a financially struggling, Korean-American contractor (played by Steven Yeun) and a small business owner of Chinese and Vietnamese descent (played by Ali Wong) stem from a random case of road rage between the two strangers.
Why it is one of the best A24 TV shows: Creator Lee Sung Jin’s 10-episode Netflix original, Beef — a profoundly insightful and darkly comic exploration of pettiness, happiness, and cultural identity — swept most of the limited series categories during the 2024 awards season, including earning both Yeun and Wong Emmys for their powerful performances.
Ali Wong: Don Wong (2022)
The comedian riffs on why she envies single people and the dating privileges some male comedians seem to have over female comedians in front of an audience at the Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank, New Jersey.
Why it is one of the best A24 TV specials: Ali Wong’s main claim to fame before Beef was stand-up comedy and one of her best specials — and one of the best stand-up comedy specials on Netflix — is Don Wong.

John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch (2019)

Why it is one of the best A24 TV specials: A must-watch for fans of John Mulaney is John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch, in which the comedian does not really parody children’s programs like Sesame Street or The Electric Company, but genuinely creates his own with styles and themes that even appeal to adults.

Amy Sedaris struggles to contend with unusual circumstances and visitors while hosting her own instructional talk show.
Why it is one of the best A24 TV shows: Also created by Sedaris with Paul Dinello, At Home with Amy Sedaris is very much a parody of shows you might find on the Food Network that fuses homemaking tips with the comedian’s signature brand of uproarious humor.

Hazbin Hotel (2024-Present)

Why it is one of the best A24 TV shows: Created and directed by Vivienne Medrano, Hazbin Hotel is A24’s first animated series, but feels perfectly on-brand for the production company with its bizarre musical-comedy take on an otherwise bizarrely bleak concept.
