Netflix · Comedy · XO, Kitty is ended

XO, Kitty works because it never pretends its main character has everything figured out. Kitty Song Covey arrives in Seoul absolutely certain she understands love, and the show spends its run cheerfully dismantling that certainty. The Seoul setting gives the series a specific texture, with campus life, language barriers, and cultural expectations all pressing in on teenage emotions that are already running at full volume. It is funny when it needs to be, genuinely awkward in the right places, and it takes its LGBT storylines seriously without making them feel like a lesson. The result is a romcom that earns its warmth.

    1. How I Met Your Mother

    Like XO, Kitty, this show is fundamentally about someone reconstructing the story of their romantic life and realizing how little they understood while it was happening. The comedy is sharp, the friendship group is tightly drawn, and the romantic entanglements are messy in ways that feel true. If you like Kitty's tendency to narrate her own love life with more confidence than the situation warrants, you will recognize that impulse all over this show.

    2. Will & Grace

    Will & Grace runs on fast, affectionate banter between people who love each other and occasionally drive each other up the wall, which is very much XO, Kitty's social temperature. The show also handles gay characters and relationships with warmth and humor rather than treating them as a subplot. It is older, and some of the sensibility shows its age, but the central dynamic still holds up.

    3. A Different World

    A Different World shares XO, Kitty's investment in campus life as a social world with real stakes, where friendships, romances, and identity questions all collide in the same compressed space. The series gives its characters room to develop over time, and the romantic relationships between the leads grow in ways that feel genuinely earned rather than manufactured. If you like how XO, Kitty uses its school setting as more than backdrop, this one takes that idea just as seriously.

  4. Felicity poster

    4. Felicity

    Felicity is probably the closest thing on this list to XO, Kitty in terms of basic premise: a girl reorganizes her entire life around a romantic feeling and then has to deal with everything that decision stirs up. The show takes that emotional recklessness seriously and follows it into genuinely complicated territory, including a love triangle that the series refuses to resolve cleanly. Fans of Kitty's mix of drama and self-awareness will find a lot to connect with here.

  5. The Facts of Life poster

    5. The Facts of Life

    The Facts of Life is built around a group of young women navigating the confusing, embarrassing, and occasionally painful parts of growing up, guided by an adult who knows more than she lets on at first, and that setup has more in common with XO, Kitty than it might initially seem. The show has a real fondness for its characters, and it does not shy away from the awkward, baffled feelings that come with figuring out who you are. It is gentler in tone than XO, Kitty, but the emotional honesty is the same.

More on shows like XO, Kitty

Fans of the show tend to be drawn to a few consistent things: the push-pull of romance that keeps you slightly off-balance, characters who are smart but not infallible, a social world with enough density that relationships between people actually feel like they matter, and a sense of humor that rides alongside the feelings rather than undercutting them. They also, broadly, have a high tolerance for chaos in the name of the heart. That combination is rarer than it sounds.

The shows here satisfy those appetites in different ways. How I Met Your Mother shares that same obsessive, retrospective quality of someone trying to make sense of their romantic life after the fact, and Will & Grace runs on the same engine of witty, slightly chaotic people navigating love and identity in a tight social circle. Felicity is the most direct spiritual cousin on this list, following a girl who upends her entire future for a romantic impulse and then has to live with the complicated results. A Different World takes the campus setting seriously and lets its characters grow over multiple seasons in ways that feel earned. The Facts of Life is the oldest show here, but its core premise of young people learning hard truths about relationships and identity under the watch of a wise adult has more in common with XO, Kitty's emotional register than the generation gap might suggest.

None of these shows are set in Seoul, and only a couple share the specific Gen Z sensibility of XO, Kitty, but each one captures something true about what it feels like to be young and convinced you know how love works, right up until you don't.
