3 shows to binge if you're loving Natasha Rothwell's How to Die Alone

How to Die Alone, debuting last Friday (September 13) with its first four episodes, has quickly captured the affections of viewers.

The comedy, created by Natasha Rothwell (known for The White Lotus and Insecure), chronicles the life of a JFK airport employee in her thirties. After a close encounter with death, she resolves to live life to the fullest, dealing with love, friendship, and loneliness while embracing her newfound zest.

Fans have taken to X, formerly Twitter, to express their enthusiasm for the show's authenticity and relatability. One user posted: "How to Die Alone is so authentic! Relatable! Funny! It's truly BRILLIANT!"

With Disney+ scheduled to drop four more episodes of the series within the next fortnight, here's three other slice-of-life programmes worth watching before the new episodes are released.

Daddy Issues

Daddy Issues centres on Gemma, a 24 year old social butterfly who ends up pregnant following a casual fling and turns to her freshly divorced father for help. This poignant dramedy from BBC Three features the duo cohabitating and navigating the perils of dating, quirky family life and parenting challenges.

Starring Aimee Lou Wood of Sex Education fame and David Morrissey from The Walking Dead as an unconventional father-daughter pair, Daddy Issues has been confirmed by the BBC for a second series.

Season 1 is available for streaming on BBC iPlayer.

Such Brave Girls

Such Brave Girls is a dark comedy that delves into the dysfunctional family life of single mother Deb and her daughters Josie and Billie. The sisters grapple with their father's absence as their mother struggles to make ends meet.

The series, which stars writer and comedian Kat Sadler alongside her real-life sister Lizzie Davidson, and actress Louise Brealey (Sherlock), takes a raw look at themes such as mental health issues, financial hardship, and toxic romantic relationships.

Such Brave Girls can be streamed on BBC iPlayer.

Queenie

Queenie is a drama that follows the life of a 25-year-old journalist who embarks on a journey of self-discovery after a shocking breakup with her long-term boyfriend. Based on the novel by Candice Carty-Williams, the series sees the Jamaican British woman confronting her childhood traumas, navigating the dating scene, and exploring her cultural identity.

The eight-episode Channel 4 series features actress Dionne Brown in the lead role, supported by a star-studded cast including Tilly Keeper (Eastenders) and Joseph Marcell (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air).

Queenie can be streamed on All 4.
