From 'Murderville' to 'American Vandal,' these are the best series that turn crime into comedy.
True crime has had its moment — now it’s time for true crime comedies to reign supreme. Whether it be the pure parody of American Vandal or the dark dramedy of Barry, these series prove that suspense and laughter can go hand-in-hand. There are so many different tropes within the world of television crime storytelling, and the following shows take all of it on and mine laughs out of it to boot: the whodunit , the police procedural , the legal drama , and so much more. 9.
6. The Afterparty The Afterparty is a Rashomon-style whodunnit in which each suspect recounts their perspective of the events of their high school reunion, leading up to the death of their mega-famous classmate Xavier . Detective Danner meticulously takes down the stories of each suspect, who take her through several genre-bending recreations of the reunion .
4. Murderville Conceptually, Murderville is probably the most unique entry on this list. Each episode follows Detective Terry Seattle and a different celebrity guest star as they attempt to solve a murder. The twist is that the celebrity playing the role of the "rookie detective" is the only one who doesn’t have a script, leaving them to improvise their way through the mystery under Terry’s hilarious expert guidance.
2. Barry Barry is without a doubt the darkest entry on this list, which perhaps came as a surprise for Bill Hader fans. The Saturday Night Live fan favorite was once better known for his incredible impressions and out-there characters, but the titular assassin of the HBO series he co-created is intense, troubled, and trying to escape his life as a professional hit man.
