17 Hidden TV Show Gems On Amazon Prime

13. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

Orphan Black Clones Tatiana Maslany

Imagine if the characters of How I Met Your Mother moved to South Philadelphia, actually ran the bar rather than just drank in it, and were kinda a bunch of a**holes. You've got something close to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. 

The initial setup may seem similar to any other traditional sitcom, but it quickly becomes apparent that this isn't the regular group of friends. Rather they're self-centred, would happily stab each other in the back, and the series tends to find comedy in much darker places than you'd normally find. 

It has a cast featuring Danny DeVito and Charlie Day, and has ran for ten seasons so far, with at least twelve confirmed. Up to season 9 is currently available on Amazon, so you can make a good start on the show described as "Seinfield on crack."
