What to Watch After Daria

From Suburban Sarcasm to City‑Side Satire: Two Shows That Echo Daria’s Edge

If you adore Daria’s dead‑pan wit and its scathing portrait of suburban high school, you’ll find a fresh set of recommendations that span the spectrum from contemporary realism to avant‑garde absurdity. First up is Adults, the 2025 FX/Hulu comedy that updates the sardonic lens of Daria for a new generation of twenty‑something New Yorkers, navigating gig‑economy woes, cancel‑culture anxieties, and the perpetual search for identity. Complementing that is Bad Thoughts, Netflix’s darkly comic anthology starring Tom Segura, which pushes satire into surreal territory while still delivering the sharp, uncomfortable laughs that Daria fans cherish.

Both titles serve distinct purposes in a curated lineup: Adults is the “new” entry, echoing Daria’s observational style in a modern, urban setting; Bad Thoughts is the beloved, audience‑approved pick that leans into the edgier, experimental side of satire. Together they illustrate how the spirit of Daria—cynical, compassionate, and unapologetically witty—can thrive across different formats and eras, offering both a comfortable continuation of the vibe and an exciting departure for the adventurous viewer.
