25 Great Workplace Comedies to Stream (That Aren't 'The Office')
There are only so many times you can rewatch The Office (or even The Office). In fact, in the likely event that you aren't a Peacock Premium subscriber, you can't even stream much of the American series at all anymore.
But fear not: As some of us enter our second year of working at home there are still plenty of critic-approved streaming workplace comedies to satisfy any nostalgia you may have for days of toiling in a crowded office surrounded by your coworkers. (Or merely to kill the extra hours you have to spend at home.) Our suggestions for your next workplace comedy binge—including information on where to stream each show—can be found in alphabetical order in the gallery above. Most of these shows are from the past few decades, but at the end of the gallery we have compiled suggestions for some additional classic workplace sitcoms, as well as a few titles that are just getting started. (Shows such as Sports Night and NewsRadio not currently streaming in full on any free or subscription service are excluded.)

The workplace: ASK, a talent agency in Paris.
This just-ended, French-language comedy, which aired on broadcast TV in France (under the title Dix Pour Cent) but is exclusive to Netflix in the States, centers on a group of well-intentioned talent agents. Their agency may be fictional, but their clients are real: One of the show's gimmicks is that each episode includes real-life celebrities playing themselves—a group that has included Monica Bellucci, Juliette Binoche, Jean Dujardin, Isabelle Huppert, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jean Reno, and Sigourney Weaver.
“Tonally, the show is never wincingly cynical like Ricky Gervais’ Extras, nor is it a Technicolor fairytale like Ryan Murphy’s Hollywood. If anything, it’s threaded with a bit of Succession energy, labyrinthine scheming being a narrative constant.” —Sarah Moroz, Vulture
