The best comedy shows to watch on Netflix now that The Office is gone

After years of dominating the streaming charts, The office will leave Netflix on January 1, 2021 for his new home at Peacock. In the nine years that The office was on Netflix, millions of fans found out and millions more watched it again, sometimes dozens of times.

But do not worry. If you’re browsing Netflix looking for sitcoms to fill the Dunder Mifflin-shaped hole in your heart, there are many other great options (and some less great ones) that are still in service. Here are five sitcoms to watch on Netflix.

Development held

Development held follows a wealthy family trying to adjust to a new life after their patriarch is dragged to prison for a litany of financial crimes. Development held it is also one of the funniest sitcoms ever made. He has an excellent cast of characters and dialogues that usually manage to include two or three jokes in each line. In addition, half of his jokes turned out to be central to online culture and some of them remain popular memes to this day. Do yourself a favor and stop after watching season 3. Netflix’s attempt to restart the program failed to match the magic of the original race.

The good place

Created by Michael Schur, who wrote for The office, created Parks and recreation, and played The officeof Mose Schrute – The good place is a little more existential comedy than the rest of the shows on this list. Initially, The good place follows a woman named Eleanor who dies and is taken to The Good Place, a perfect paradise like paradise. But Eleanor realizes that she was taken there by mistake and has to hide her defects and perfect herself to fit. The program blurs the boundaries between comedies and TV series, addressing heavy topics like death without ever sacrificing fun and comedy makes the binge-watch 12 episodes an explosion.

Community

Community is a good pairing with The office that NBC originally broadcast them together on Thursday nights. Community follows a group of students who, for one reason or another, attend Greendale, the worst community college in the world. Very similar The office, CommunityThe biggest strength of is its huge and always fun cast of characters and secondary characters, who sometimes form surprising groups for their own adventures. But what does Community extra special is how strange these adventures tend to be. Whether it’s musical episodes, action movie parody episodes, or animated Christmas specials, Community has some of the best episode installations on any sitcom.

New girl

Of all the sitcoms on this list, New girl is the most traditional and has the pace most similar to The office. It’s another comedy from the set, this time about a girl who moves into an apartment with a group of guys she barely knows. The real highlight of the show is the comings and goings between all the roommates as they tell quick jokes or light and fun insults. Just like watching again The office for the umpteenth time, the show becomes more about spending time with the characters you love than the things they’re doing episode by episode.

Schitt’s Creek

Following in the footsteps of Development stopped, Schitt’s Creek it is also the story of a wealthy family that loses everything … except in this case, they manage to maintain the tiny town of Schitt’s Creek, which the family playfully bought when they were still wealthy. After the family’s sudden bankruptcy, however, they are forced to move to the city and live in a motel. The series is created by its stars Eugene and Dan Levy, who started the show on the premise of taking a family like the Kardashians and taking all their money. Although the concept may seem harsh, the show turns out to be hilarious and surprisingly healthy, as the family learns to love themselves without all the wealth they used to enjoy.
