Growing up, we’ve all had that overachieving sibling or cousin who not only loves to steal the spotlight but also your parents’ support and affection. And Dang! on Netflix showcases how they have been ruining lives since time immemorial.

While Netflix has given viewers a front-row seat to several chaotic, dysfunctional families, Dang! brings one of the most relatable ones to the forefront.

Created by Andrew Law, the adult-animated comedy follows two messy siblings in New York City whose routine is interrupted by their worst nightmare: their overachieving sister.

So, if you want your next watchlist to highlight such dysfunctional dynamics, family pressure, and life unravelling in funny ways, here are five Netflix shows to watch after Dang!

Five Netflix shows to binge after Dang!

Haunted Hotel (Erica Hayes, Christopher Nance, Bob Suarez, and Meg Waldow, 2025-Present)

Since the quirky sibling energy is at the heart of Dang!, Haunted Hotel is potentially the perfect follow-up. The adult-animated series centres on recently divorced mother Katherine Freeling, who moves into the Undervale Hotel in Upstate New York with her children Ben and Esther. While she inherited the sprawling, chaotic hotel from her deceased brother, Nathan, the only problem is Katherine has been struggling to make it a successful business.

The reason? Well, all thanks to the ghosts and demons occupying the premises and scaring potential guests away. Just when she thinks there’s no going around it, Katherine receives unexpected help from Nathan, who also happens to be a ghost. Haunted Hotel follows the dynamic sibling duo, one dead and another alive, who join forces to offer viewers wild episodic shenanigans, as Katherine’s own children get embroiled in mystery solving.

F is for Family (Dan Sumich, Sylvain Lavoie, Rich Wilkie, Olivier Schramm, Romain Bounoure, Mike Roberts, Benjamin Marsaud, and Laurent Nicolas, 2015-2021)

Dang! makes family dysfunctions look normal, but F is for Family dials up the chaos with short-tempered members, sibling arguments, and high stress. The adult-animated sitcom captures the daily struggles of the highly dysfunctional Murphy family in 1970s Pennsylvania, against the backdrop of a fictional town called Rustvale. The drama follows family patriarch Frank, a Korean War veteran, whose American dream failed him, reducing him to an airport baggage handler.

In addition to Frank, the adult animated show focuses on his wife Sue and their three children, who are anything but alike. F is for Family represents the unrelenting stress of working-class life, where Frank’s explosive nature makes him more distant from his wife and kids. Over the course of five bingeworthy instalments, the show tackles generational trauma, changing social norms, and personal failures.

Chicago Party Aunt (Mike L Mayfield, 2021-2022)

While Dang! focuses on two siblings who refuse to grow up like their overachieving sister, Chicago Party Aunt on Netflix highlights a messy relative who wishes the same. The Netflix animated comedy follows Diane Dunbrowski, a rowdy, middle-aged woman living in Wrigley who was once a legendary party girl in the 1980s. Although times have changed, her ways haven’t; she still loves cheap drinks, deep-dish pizza, impulse, and adrenaline.

But when her relentless lifestyle prompts her husband to move out, her nerdy Stanford-bound nephew, Daniel, moves in with her to figure out what’s next. Chicago Party Aunt revolves around Diane, who evolves into a blue-collar fairy godmother to Daniel and shows him how to live life and have fun. Meanwhile, Daniel returns the favour by helping her navigate the modern, changing world, becoming each other’s support system.

Kim’s Convenience (Peter Wellington, Renuka Jeyapalan, Siobhan Devine, Dawn Wilkinson, James Genn, Aleysa Young, Sherren Lee, Justin Wu and Weyni Mengesha, 2016-2021)

Although not exactly an adult-animated counterpart of Dang!, Kim’s Convenience fits the bill for more than one reason. The live-action sitcom offers a lighter, warm-hearted look at generational immigrant family conflicts, sibling dynamics, of course, and navigating a family with high parental expectations. For those uninitiated, the series follows the daily lives and dynamics of a Korean-Canadian family running a neighbourhood convenience store in Toronto.

At the top of the family tree is the stubborn and funny patriarch, Mr Kim, a traditionalist who expects his children to take over or succeed on traditional paths. And then, there’s Mrs Kim, the warm matriarch who maintains a secret with their estranged son, Jung, who ran away from home at 16, and Jung’s sister, Janet, who also feels stuck between her modern ambitions and conventional pressures. Kim’s Convenience captures the cultural clash between first-generation immigrant parents and their Canadian-raised children.

BEEF (Lee Sung Jin, Jake Schreier and Hikari, 2023-Present)

Again, we know Dang! is an animated comedy, and BEEF is a live-action dark comedy. But surprisingly enough, they share a distinct thematic and cultural overlap in more ways than one. Both series dig into the immense weight of family expectations, focusing on the cracks that form when trying to maintain a perfect image that’s far from it. Despite their differences in premise, the humour in each case originates from deeply flawed characters making impulsive decisions.

On the surface level, BEEF shares the chaotic, unfiltered, dysfunctional and messy dynamics tied to modern Asian-American households, where emotional baggage never takes a backseat. On a deeper level, the dark comedy embraces a fast-talking, comedic tone that balances absurd, laugh-out-loud moments where you’d hope no one saw you laughing with great character depth, just like Dang!
