If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist is available in Australia on Netflix and Stan, and in the US on Peacock Premium right now. Across 2 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Jane Levy is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. Start it on Netflix whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist keeps coming up in conversation. Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. After an unusual event, Zoey Clarke, a whip-smart computer coder forging her way in San Francisco, suddenly starts to hear the innermost wants, thoughts and desires of the people around her through popular songs. Between them, Jane Levy and Skylar Astin carry the comedy without ever forcing it. Across 2 seasons (2020–2021), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. Little Voice is the obvious comparison, but Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist earns its own place alongside it. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Jane Levy sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist was cancelled in 2021, created by Austin Winsberg — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
