Shows that feel likeBrooklyn Nine-Nine (2013–2021)
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).
If Brooklyn Nine-Nine hit the spot, these will too

A workplace comedy about people who cannot escape each other
The difference: Cringe with no warmth — the original, and far bleaker

A misfit staff who become family while the workplace stays ridiculous
The difference: Retail-floor lows instead of arrests — smaller stakes, sharper class satire


Both rooted in New York City
The difference: Leans harder into drama than Brooklyn Nine-Nine does

The same preoccupation in both: sitcom
The difference: Sits closer to sci-fi & fantasy than Brooklyn Nine-Nine does

A tight New York ensemble whose bits are the whole appeal
The difference: Nobody learns anything, and nobody is kind

Workplace friendship comedy with a fast joke rate
The difference: Multi-cam and much cruder

Comedy that is funny about race and class without flinching
The difference: A family sitcom in eighties Brooklyn, narrated and nostalgic

Witty and playful in the same breath


Office idiots, escalating nonsense and a boss too odd to be believed
The difference: British and tiny — two dozen episodes of pure farce, no serialised heart
