Eternally Yours

A 30-minute family comedy about a 500-year-old vampire couple whose marriage has gone stale, forced to reckon with love and commitment when their daughter brings home an earnest human boyfriend. It's a sweet supernatural sitcom about long-term relationships, found family chaos, and whether passion can outlast centuries. Perfect if you love romantic comedies with teeth and domestic absurdity played straight.

Should you watch it?

Watch it if you like sitcoms where a tired old marriage is the engine, and a vampire couple gone flat gets funnier than it has any right to be.

Skip it if you want a fully fleshed world with a long arc; at four episodes, this compact premise may feel more like a sketch than a story that builds.

What it asks of you: Brief and easygoing: four episodes of around half an hour, enough for a single sitting, with no commitment beyond an evening.

Schitt's Creek2015

A found-family comedy where misfits learn to love each other through genuine warmth and character growth. The emotional core strengthens as the series progresses, balancing humour with real stakes about belonging and commitment.

But It takes a few episodes to find its rhythm, and the early seasons rely on fish-out-of-water dynamics that can feel thin if you're not patient with setup.

What We Do in the Shadows2019

Vampires in a sitcom format, but make it a mockumentary. Brilliantly balances absurd supernatural situations with genuine affection between characters, proving long-term relationships—even eternal ones—are worth mining for comedy.

But The humour is dry and deliberately deadpan; if you want broad physical comedy or punchlines, this will feel understated and slow.

Santa Clarita Diet2017

A married couple navigates a supernatural affliction together, treating the impossible as domestic routine. It's tender and hilarious, finding genuine love in an undead premise and asking real questions about partnership.

But It was cancelled after three seasons on an unresolved cliffhanger, which might frustrate you if you hate open endings.

The wildcard

Something you would not have found on your own.

Fleabag2016

Both use comedy to explore marriage and commitment as something that requires genuine work and reckoning, not just passion. Both ask: what does it mean to stay?

A woman in romantic and familial chaos speaks directly to the audience while navigating desire, commitment, and what it means to belong. Hilarious and devastating, it proves that a show about broken relationships and messy growth can be profound.

But The protagonist is deeply selfish and morally ambiguous; if you need to like the main character, her relentless self-awareness won't be enough to redeem her in your eyes.

Ghosts2019

British found family of spectres learning to coexist in one house. Heartfelt humour about misfits, acceptance, and belonging, with supernatural mishaps serving the emotional truth rather than overwhelming it.

But The British pace is gentler than American network comedy; if you're used to rapid-fire jokes, it might feel leisurely.

Kim's Convenience2016

A multi-generational family navigating love, duty, and change with warmth and specificity. Comedy emerges from character and culture, not plot mechanics, and every person feels real and three-dimensional.

But The humour is character-driven and quiet; there are no big set pieces or chase scenes, just people talking and being themselves.

Pushing Daisies2007

Whimsical, brightly coloured supernatural romance where a man who can't touch his living girlfriend navigates desire, commitment, and finding joy in constraint. Visually gorgeous and emotionally generous despite its magical-realism premise.

But It was cancelled after two seasons, and the second season feels incomplete. Also, the aesthetic and tone are very precious—if whimsy feels gimmicky to you, steer clear.

Scrubs2001

A workplace ensemble comedy that knows when to be funny and when to be genuinely moving. Strong on long-term relationships—romantic, platonic, familial—and what it takes to keep loving people through years of change.

But The later seasons decline noticeably in quality, and some of the early humour hasn't aged well. The tonal shifts can feel jarring if you're not in the mood.

This Is Us2016

Family bonds across generations, with serious weight given to marriage, commitment, and showing up for each other through time. It's sentimental, but earned—characters face real consequences and growth.

But It's heavy. If you want pure escapism and lightness, this will feel like homework. Also, some plot twists lean on contrivance.

Shrinking2023

A found family of therapists and misfits learning to be honest with each other. Balances comedy with genuine emotional stakes, and treats long-term relationships—including marriages and friendships—with real tenderness and specificity.

But It pivots between comedy and serious drama, which can feel uneven. If you want consistency of tone, the tonal swings might distract you.

A Million Directions2012

Both examine a decades-long marriage with affection and dark humour, finding the absurdity in what it means to stay bound to another person. Both are genuinely funny about commitment's mundane weight.

A deceptively simple Romanian comedy about a marriage in quiet crisis, where a couple discusses their lives and relationship in a car. It's perfectly observed, deeply funny, and completely unsentimental about long-term love's reality.

But There is almost no plot. It's two people talking in a car for 90 minutes—if you need narrative momentum or incident, this will feel inert.
