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: For the most part, an independent spy agency—though a few seasons have alternate settings (and take place in the title character's mind during a coma).
A terrific voice cast (including H. Jon Benjamin, Aisha Tyler, Judy Greer, Chris Parnell, and the late Jessica Walter) helps bring this surprisingly long-running adult animated spy spoof to life. The series comes from Adult Swim veteran Adam Reed (Sealab 2021, Frisky Dingo) and features rapid-fire humor (with some occasional R-rated "phrasing") and a nifty mid-century design aesthetic. (And despite its characters' James Bond-esque adventures, many scenes really do take place in an office.) A twelfth season—which has already been recorded and will include Walter—will air on FXX and Hulu later this year.
“Archer is the next generation version of 'Get Smart,' with a similarly thickheaded, overconfident, horny hero whose petulant deadpan lines are funnier than they have any right to be.” —Matt Zoller Seitz, Salon
