Loved Mismatched? Here Are 10 TV Shows You Can’t Miss!

Fashion, friendships, and fresh-starts, Call Me Bae, is Amazon Prime’s highly addictive, witty, and dramatic feel-good show that tops the streaming charts when it comes to comfort watch. A more glamorous and high-fashion cousin to Mismatched, the series stars Ananya Pandey as Bae, a spoiled heiress who runs away to Mumbai for a fresh start after her marriage falls apart. 

Story wise, Call Me Bae has more in common with Emily In Paris than Mismatched, but despite the narrative differences, both shows still share the same no-nonsense, comfort-binge energy. Call Me Bae is a great choice for all the Bollywood Buffs, fashion lovers, and people who enjoy fast-paced urban comedies like Little Things.

Asmara, a spoiled rich socialite from Delhi finds herself struggling with life in a small town when she’s forced to spend the summer with her grandparents in their quiet, quaint house in a small town on the outskirts. While both the shows share the same mix of romance and self-discovery, Mismatched focuses more on college rivalries and romantic relationships, while Dil Dosti Dilemma leans more into the fish-out-of-water chaos of Asmara navigating life in a different city. 

The struggles of living with nosy relatives, forming new friendships, and navigating first loves in a world that’s nothing like her own is very reminiscent of Netflix’s My Life with the Walter Boys. It’s the ultimate comfort watch for fans of messy-but-heartwarming coming-of-age stories filled with heart. 

Created by Mindy Kaling, Never Have I Ever follows Devi Vishwakumar, an Indian-American teenager navigating the drama of being in high school while reeling with the grief of suddenly losing her father. Caught between her family’s expectations, grief, her desire to fit in, and her mission to find a boyfriend before graduation, Devi’s journey is filled with hilarious and endearing ups and downs. 

It's got the same carefree, easy going vibe as Mismatched, but it swaps the Indian college campus for a stereotypically American high school setting, and reimagines it through the eyes of a second generation Indian-American girl—making it funny, and relevant pick for fans of immigrant shows like The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh and Kim's Convenience. For teenagers, Never Have I Ever’s coming-of-age honesty makes it a deeply relatable and heartfelt pick, while at the same time the show’s witty humour and irreverent tone makes it appealing for older audiences as well.

If The Vampire Diaries met Mismatched, you’d get Tooth Pari: When Love Bites, an unconventional opposites attract story about Rumi, a daring vampire with a rebellious streak, and Roy, a timid dentist with a gentle heart. 

Dark, quirky, and romantic, it’s got all the makings of a comfort binge with a supernatural twist—forbidden love, eccentric side characters, and a whimsical Kolkata backdrop. If you grew up watching Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, and Teen Wolf, this one will check all of your boxes. But if you’re someone who prefers realistic dramas over supernatural escapism, then this one probably won’t be for you.

If you enjoyed the later seasons of Mismatched more where the gears shifted from the butterflies of young romance to the real challenges of balancing personal ambition with love, then Little Things should be next on your list. 

The series follows Kavya and Dhruv as they navigate life as a modern-day couple living in the fast-paced city of Mumbai. Together, they juggle demanding careers, relationship challenges, and the small joys and struggles of everyday life. It’s easily the most grounded and realistic take on modern relationships in Indian television. If you’re a fan of shows like Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage and Platonic that focus on the small, everyday moments of life, then Little Things is a good pick for you. Think of it as a more grown-up, grounded version of Mismatched, answering the question of, ‘Where would Dimple and Rishi be five years after college?’ 

While Dimple and Rishi are the heart of Mismatched, the show's central theme revolves around the bonds of college life, coming-of-age friendships, and the journey of self-discovery. If you enjoy the blend of humour, romance, and the relatable chaos of youth, check out College Romance. It’s what you’d imagine Sex Education to be like if it was set in an Indian campus. 

This lighthearted series follows three best friends as they navigate the ups and downs of college life, first loves, heartbreaks, and everything in between. Compared to some of the other campus based shows on this list like Class or Campus Diaries, College Romance is a lot more easy-going, goofy, and idealistic, making it the closest alternative to Mismatched in terms of tone. 

The opposites attract dynamic between Rishi and Dimple is a big part of what makes Mismatched so easy to binge, and Bandish Bandits takes that same energy of opposites attract and sets it against the backdrop of music. The series follows Radhe, a disciplined classical singer and Tammana, a rising pop sensation all about fame, glamour, and modern music. The two couldn’t be more different but still sparks fly both musically and romantically when they clash over music preferences, beliefs, and their future. 

But where Mismatched thrives on messy college drama, Bandish Bandits explores deeper themes of tradition vs modernity, family expectations, and the power of art to connect people. If you’re looking for the same fast-paced, chatty, chaos driven pace of Mismatched, you might not enjoy Bandish Bandits. But if you enjoyed the 90s classic Taal, you’ll really appreciate Bandish Bandits, with its opposites attract love story fuelled by Shankar Ehsan Loy’s powerful soundtrack.
