Togetherness was a bit more in the dramedy category, and it's been cancelled after two seasons. Hello Ladies wasn't even remotely funny and I think it has also been cancelled, after only one. Girls is in dire need of some shred of talent, but it apparently still has a season to go before they put it out of our misery.

You know what noone tells you about cooking with the Dark Side? The food is really good!

^this

Tho not nearly as funny or creative, plus I LOATHE the daughter and find the frankness with which she and her uncle discuss sex icky/inappropriate familialy. Plus she looks and acts like she's in her late 20's (supposed to be, what, 16? 17?).

Also check out 'Happy Endings'. Look for it on Hulu or similar. Cancelled a few (?) yrs ago. And maybe 'Party Down'.

Similar in attitude and theme ... and that fact that it is on Hulu at the moment is "Last Man On Earth".

Some of the earlier episodes are reminiscent of lighter episodes in "Its always Sunny in Philidelphia"

Kinf of old now but i enjoyed Bored to Death, worth checking if you missed it.

I had the same problem last year, so I recommend from trying several other shows:

Billy and Billie (it's got the same vibe)
Please like me (there's also a depression storyline as a bonus)
Party down
Vicious (yes, I know it's not about young wrecked people, but quite old ones and bitter all the same)
Selfie

I'm planning to check Casual, Him and her, Gavin & Stacey, Married, Gravity, Broad city, Friday Night Dinner, You, Me and the Apocalypse

I couldn't get into Weeds, Master of None, Arrested development, Flaked but they're all a bit similar.

I wouldn't really bother with Casual...unless you are cool with it not being funny AT ALL. A number of people have complained about the depression storyline in season 2 of YTW being too serious...so if you felt that way as well...you might want to skip Casual (at least the second season...the first season had its moments, but was average TV at its best...Season 2 was virtually unwatchable). However, Gavin & Stacey is AMAZING in every single way!!!! I wish there had been more episodes! Him/Her was kind of boring to me, but definitely had some funny moments...I have heard really good things about Friday Night Dinner, but haven't gotten around to checking it out yet...just my $0.02.

Oops I posted too soon...

Married was good as well (although again, the first season was funnier).

Have you seen Catastrophe?
I LOVE that show!

You could also check out Pulling if you haven't already...

There is a new UK series called "Fleabag". I believe that is even more dark and cutting comedy than You're The Worst, Casual, Siblings, Difficult People, and Catastrophe. Phoebe Waller-Bridge also did "Crashing", but that one was a little less focused.

I agree with the other recommendations of Him and Her, Friday Night Dinner (oh sh*t on it!), and Please Like Me.

I'll just chime in to add that 'Fleabag' was amazing. Extremely well-crafted and very much worth a watch - only 6 episodes though and plays out more like a movie than an actual "show" (if it wasn't for that fact and the advantages such a format gives the creators, I'd just say it was simply superior to 'You're The Worst'). Very good.
