Prime Video · Comedy · Deadloch is likely renewed
Deadloch works because it refuses to choose between being funny and being a proper crime show. The two detectives at its center are nothing alike, forced into an uncomfortable partnership in a nowhere town where a man has been killed, and their friction generates both laughter and genuine detective work. You get the odd characters and the absurdist humor, but you also get the actual mystery unfolding with stakes. The show trusts that you can care about solving a crime and laugh at the same time.
The best shows like Deadloch
1. Only Murders in the Building
Like Deadloch, this show builds its appeal on an unlikely partnership solving a real murder, with characters who make each other uncomfortable and the humor comes naturally from watching them work together. The mystery is genuinely engaging and the friendship that grows between the leads feels earned.

2. Countdown
While grittier than Deadloch, this offers a similar hook: ordinary people pulled into a high-stakes mystery they didn't ask for, forced to work alongside strangers to solve something larger than themselves. The time pressure adds urgency to the investigation.

3. Angie Tribeca
A comedy crime show where the cases are deliberately absurd (murders involving ventriloquists and serial baker suicides), and the detectives navigate them with deadpan style. If you want Deadloch's comedic irreverence applied to a whole series of cases, this delivers.

4. Santa Clarita Diet
This show asks what happens when ordinary people get caught up in extraordinary murder and crime, then finds the humor in how they navigate it. The central couple's dynamic has the same kind of spark as Deadloch's detective pairing, even as the situation grows increasingly bizarre.

5. The Afterparty
This takes the murder mystery setup and tells it through wildly different genres for each suspect's account, the same kind of formal playfulness that makes Deadloch feel fresh. The mystery holds up to scrutiny and the characters are funny without becoming cartoons.

More on shows like Deadloch
Fans of Deadloch are looking for that balance. They want their mysteries to be clever and their humor to be smart. They're happy to watch detectives who are flawed and embarrassing and weird, as long as the case itself matters. They tend to like ensemble casts or unlikely partnerships. They appreciate shows that don't underestimate them, that let plot and character and jokes all exist at the same level rather than treating the mystery as a thin excuse for sketches.
The recommendations here all share that sensibility in different ways. Only Murders in the Building nails the partnership angle, pairing characters who have no reason to trust each other but must. The Afterparty plays with genre itself to tell a murder mystery, which takes the same kind of playful risk that Deadloch does. Angie Tribeca goes for pure comedy wrapped around crime cases, though it leans more cartoonish. Santa Clarita Diet and Countdown represent the spectrum where you can get weirder or darker while keeping the mystery alive. Any of these should feel familiar to someone who loved what Deadloch was doing.
