25 Netflix shows to watch if you miss Friends

Netflix shows like Friends: Master of None

Seasons: 3

Created By: Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang

Starring: Aziz Ansari, Noël Wells, Eric Wareheim, Kelvin Yu, Lena Waithe, Alessandra Mastronardi, Naomi Ackie

At the end of the day, what is Friends if not a slice of life comedy? We’re watching the lives of six intertwined people naturally unfold through every romantic, personal and professional twist and turn. Jobs change, partners come and go, babies are born, just as we experience in our own lives — except we don’t have a live studio audience to make light of the bigger twists.

Perhaps one of Netflix’s most critically acclaimed original comedy series in Master of None, dramedy created by and starring Parks and Recreation standout Aziz Ansari. In the first two seasons, Ansari plays Dev Shah, a 30-year-old struggling actor and eventual pasta maker trying to make sense of what he wants from his professional and personal endeavors.

In its upcoming third season, titled Master of None Presents: Moments in Love, the series will instead center on Lena Waithe’s character Denise in London (which is pretty iconic locale for Friends, if we don’t say so ourselves). While both series might not be on the same page tonally, they’re each tackling a comparable theme of life in the midst of figuring it all out.
