Want more Adam Brody? Of course you do.

After a brief stint on “Gilmore Girls,” Brody really won over fans — specifically millennials — with his role as the lovable and sarcastic Seth Cohen on the teen drama series “The O.C.”

The show lasted for four seasons between 2003 and 2007, centering on the lives of four teens navigating life in the upper-class Orange County region of California. With a core cast of rising Hollywood stars, pitch-perfect needle drops that made indie-rock mainstream, and juicy storylines, “The O.C.” cemented its place as one of the most iconic shows of the early 2000s.

2. “The Good Place”
Sutton Foster and Hilary Duff on “Younger.”

TV Land

“Younger,” created by Darren Star (the genius behind “Sex and the City,” “Beverly Hills, 90210,” and “Emily in Paris”), follows Liza Miller (Sutton Foster), a single mom in her 40s who lies about being 26 to combat ageism and land a job in book publishing. Around the same time, she also begins a relationship with a 20-something tattoo artist named Josh (Nico Tortorella), who also believes her to be similar in age to him.

But a secret that big can’t stay hidden, and the seven-season TVLand series unpacks the consequences that Liza’s age rebrand has on her relationship, friendships, and work life.

4. “Never Have I Ever”
Phoebe Waller-Bridge in “Fleabag.”

Amazon

Created by and starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge, “Fleabag” is a British comedy series about a single woman navigating her frequently disastrous life. And while “Nobody Wants This” has a hot rabbi, “Fleabag” very famously has a hot priest, played by Andrew Scott.

“Fleabag” is a bit raunchier and more scathing than “Nobody Wants This,” but plenty of folks are drawing parallels between the two. As one viral tweet reads: “nobody wants this is fleabag for mentally stable people.”

6. “Business Proposal”
Aya Cash and Chris Geere in “You’re the Worst.”

FX

“You’re the Worst” is a Los Angeles-set comedy that follows Jimmy (Chris Geere), a writer, and Gretchen (Aya Cash), a music publicist. They’re a match made in hell who meet at Jimmy’s ex’s wedding, where Gretchen decides to steal one of the gifts and Jimmy gets kicked out for personally insulting the bride.

“You’re the Worst” delivers on the chemistry and banter you probably love from “Nobody Wants This” — and the best news is that there are five seasons of it to binge at your leisure.
