Tragedy Girls

Tragedy Girls has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Peacock Premium. A tight runtime that never overstays its welcome. With 356 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Brianna Hildebrand is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

Tragedy Girls is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The jokes in Tragedy Girls land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. McKayla and Sadie, two death-obsessed teenage girls, use their online show about real-life tragedies to send their small Midwestern town into a frenzy and cement their legacy as modern horror legends. Brianna Hildebrand and Alexandra Shipp lead a cast with the timing to make it work. Tragedy Girls came out in 2017. Tragedy Girls earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Tragedy Girls is a strong candidate. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Brianna Hildebrand anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
