1. The Office
Release year: 2005 | Episodes: 201 episodes in 9 seasons | Streaming platform: Netflix
What is The Office about? The Office is the US version of a series that originally started in the UK. It follows the daily life of the Scranton branch of the fictional paper company Dunder Mifflin. Due to the style of the boss Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell, absurd situations occur regularly.
What makes The Office so good? Michael Scott is a boss that nobody would want, but especially starting from the third season, he also has lovable moments. The characters are charming, and the situations are often so uncomfortable that you still have to laugh.
Along with the great dialogues and the really good comedic timing, you can’t help but watch.
