It’s time to get out of that show rut. Raise your hand if you’ve ever gone through Netflix’s entire library only to end up watching The Office (again). Keep them up if you can name episode plotlines of Friends in the first 30 seconds of watching. Or if you can recite quotes from How I Met Your Mother in your sleep. Congratulations, you my friend are a show repeater. And you’re not alone. Most of us are guilty of watching the same show repeatedly. Here are 10 shows guaranteed to stop (or renew) the vicious cycle.
For fans of The Office and Parks and Recreation:
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
The workplace comedy responsible for proving that woke humor exists.
The Good Place
This show proves that death is a laughing matter.
If inappropriate humor is your thing:
Broad City
Role models? No. Kweens? Yasss.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
The worst people in Philly are also the funniest.
If you’re a sucker for a funny lady:
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
From 50s housewife to standup comic. Marvelous, indeed.
The Mindy Project.
Your WCW wishes her life was a romantic comedy, is obsessed with bear claws, and lies on the floor dramatically when things don’t go her way. It’s Mindy. Mindy Lahiri is your WCW.
If drama is your middle name:
Jane the Virgin
The novela for millennials.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
The musical for millenials
For the outcasts:
Freaks and Geeks.
