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: New York's 99th police precinct.
Created by Parks and Rec veterans Dan Goor and Michael Schur, this one-time Fox (now NBC) comedy has spent seven seasons following the antics of a group of surprisingly competent NYPD detectives played by one of TV's best ensemble casts that includes Andy Samberg, Terry Crews, and Andre Braugher (who previously played a police detective in a far more serious series, NBC's critically acclaimed Homicide: Life on the Street).
Last year's Black Lives Matter protests following numerous police-involved shootings caused producers to throw out early scripts for the show's 8th season, which would have aired in 2020-21. Instead, the series will be retooled and return for its final season next year.
“Where even great sitcoms tend to run out of steam by their fourth or fifth season, Brooklyn feels as strong as it’s ever been, with a simple-yet-sturdy foundation that seems designed to keep it funny for however long its second life on NBC lasts.” —Alan Sepinwall, Rolling Stone
