If You Love The Office, Watch These Shows

The Office is easily one of the most loved TV shows ever created. While the older British version starring Ricky Gervais put the series on the map, the US Version is the one that gained the massive following it still has today.

If you loved The Office, and want to binge-watch shows [valid where legal] similar to it, here is a list that may not be exactly like The Office but most certainly exude the same energy.

Community

Community follows the lives of a group of older students at a community college. Each has their own reasons for being there, each with their own unique and quirky personalities. Starring, amongst others, Joel McHale and Donald Glover, it is the birthplace of references you have probably heard before.

As they grow, you follow the characters who become better people and participate in some of the funniest off-the-wall madness you have ever seen.

Arrested Development

Shot in a similar style to The Office, Arrested Development follows the Bluths, a formerly wealthy family that is the definition of unhinged and dysfunctional. Starring Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Will Arnett, and Michael Cera, the show is quirky, mental, but constantly hilarious.

Mix in some genuinely heartfelt moments, and you have a show that is impossible to stop watching and leaves you wanting more.

Derry Girls

Derry Girls is a sitcom based in Northern Ireland during the 90s. This time in the country was infamously known as The Troubles. The series follows a group of young girls trying to make their way through life at a Catholic school.

While the show is about teenagers, it is similar to Sex Education in the sense that the young characters deal with many issues adults deal with every day. Add a generous sprinkling of humor, and you have a binge-worthy show.

After Life

After Life is a unique mix of a very sad and heart-breaking story, combined with humor that only Ricky Gervais could do so well. He plays Tony, a journalist at a local newspaper who has just lost his wife to cancer.

However, it is one of the funniest shows released in ages, with Gervais pulling off the ultimate combination of laughter and melancholy. It is hilarious, heart-wrenching, gripping, and generally brilliant.

The IT Crowd

Another British classic is The IT Crowd. Starring Chris O’Dowd, Richard Ayoade, and Katherine Parkinson, it is set in the office of an IT department. Noel Fielding features as well, adding a layer of Mighty Boosh hilarity to the mix.

While the premise and setting are simple, the characters and dialogue set the show apart. It is often looney, completely ridiculous, but funny from start to finish. Twenty-five episodes aren’t near enough.

American Vandal

If you thought American Vandal was a true-crime documentary, that is an easy mistake. This mockumentary, which now has two seasons, focuses on solving two different and somewhat unique “crimes.”

The first season is about finding out who spray-painted numerous graphic images on cars in the school parking lot. The second focuses on finding out who spiked the cafeteria lemonade with laxatives.

Both seasons are filmed with hand cameras, like The Office, and both “crimes” are treated like proper investigations. While the premise is entirely ridiculous, both seasons are funny, genuinely engaging, and an incredibly unique spin on the true-crime genre.

Parks and Recreation

Finally, the show is probably the closest to The Office. Parks and Rec follows Leslie Knope, a mid-level bureaucrat at the Parks department in a fictional town in Indiana. She is joined by an ensemble cast including Chris Pratt, Rashida Jones, Nick Offerman, Aziz Ansari, Adam Scott, Aubrey Plaza, and many more.

The show follows the trials and tribulations of this low-level Parks office, as well as the lives of the incredibly hilarious and unique characters that work there. The show is funny and has an engaging storyline and lovable characters that will keep you hooked from the first to the last episode.

These are easily the best shows to watch if you want another hit of that Office energy. While some may think the show is irreplaceable with no competition, those on this list prove that could be false.
