5 Shows Like Velma to Binge Watch
Harley Quinn
HBO Max just knows its dark comedy well which is what makes Harley Quinn top this list. Created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm, the series is based on the DC comic character of the same name and stars Kaley Cuoco, Lake Bell as Poison Ivy, Alan Tudyk, Ron Funches, Tony Hale and Jason Alexander as the prominent voice actors. The series follows the misadventures of Quinn, with her eventual lover, Poison Ivy after she breaks up with The Joker. Watch it, here.
BoJack Horseman
The excellence in animated series comes from the heart of BoJack Horseman. A black comedy created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg, the series is about the anthropomorphic horse, BoJack Horseman, who is a washed-up star of a 1990s sitcom and is struggling with his demons to live a peaceful life. Will Arnett, Amy Sedaris, Alison Brie, Paul F. Tompkins, and Aaron Paul are all voice stars in the show. Watch it on Netflix.
Big Mouth
The coming-of-age aspect comes to life in this humourous set. Created by Andrew Goldberg, Nick Kroll, Mark Levin, and Jennifer Flackett for Netflix, the show is about teens that are based on Kroll and Goldberg’s suburban upbringing where puberty, the human body and sex are explored with frankness. Watch it on Netflix.
