Shows that feel likeBrooklyn Nine-Nine (2013–2021)

A single-camera ensemble comedy following the lives of an eclectic group of detectives in a New York precinct, including one slacker who is forced to shape up when he gets a new boss.

If you loved Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the closest series we have are The Office (2001), Superstore (2015) and iCarly (2007). All three share Brooklyn Nine-Nine's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Girls (2012).
