Dead to Me is the genre-bender of all genre-benders. Through the unlikely friendship of Jen Harding (Christina Applegate) and Judy Hale (Linda Cardellini), the two attempt to forge a friendship and solve a crime that hits close to home: the death of Jen's husband, Ted, which was practically left as a cold case since it was a hit-and-run. Created by Liz Feldman, the series has no shortage of humor; it's perfectly complemented by the overarching investigation and daily trials—and lies—of each of their lives.

An improvisational murder-mystery-comedy series, Murderville uses an interesting tactic to make the show an almost-genuine mystery: the designated guest star of each episode goes into the filming cold—sans script—and has to react and improvise in real-time to figure out who committed the murder. Will Arnett stars as Terry Seattle, the lead detective on each case who's also responsible for helping out his celebrity trainees through the investigations.

With its devotion to the comedic element of murder mysteries, Murderville is a new, well-deserving installation to this grouping of shows like Only Murders in the Building.

Who's in It: Will Arnett, Haneefah Wood, Lilan Bowden, Conan O'Brien, Marshawn Lynch, Annie Murphy, Kumail Nanjiani, Ken Jeong, Sharon Stone

Burton "Gus" Guster (Dulé Hill) and Shawn Spencer (James Roday) are two best friends in Psych, which is about a consulting agency (named "Psych") that Shawn created since he's able to solve tons of criminal cases simply because of his increased awareness and other observational skills.
