Netflix stands out among the major streaming platforms for its renowned production of gripping fictional dramas, spine-tingling documentaries, and heart-pounding thrillers. Yet, hidden amidst its vast content library, you'll also find a remarkable collection of sitcoms. With a multitude of options available, it's easy for viewers to become overwhelmed when deciding what to watch. To ease this dilemma, we've curated a list of essential Netflix sitcoms that deserve a spot on your binge-watching list.
1. ‘Never Have I Ever’
In the past, teen-centred shows predominantly revolved around white teenagers, but 'Never Have I Ever' is set to challenge this longstanding norm. The series centres on Devi Vishwakumar (played by Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), who embarks on a journey to reclaim her life after the distressing loss of her father. Her quest includes fully immersing herself in the high school experience, even the pursuit of finding a boyfriend. However, this proves to be no simple task. What makes this show truly delightful is its fresh and unique take on the high school narrative, offering a whole new perspective on her teenage life.
2. ‘Derry Girls’
Ensemble sitcoms typically revolve around a family, coworkers, or a group of friends. ‘Derry Girls’ falls into the latter category, focusing on a group of Catholic teenage girls and one English boy residing in Northern Ireland during the 1990s, a period marked by the political conflict known as ‘The Troubles.’ However, even in these challenging times, being a teenager doesn't cease, and humour continues to thrive.
3. ‘Seinfield’
'Seinfeld' features Jerry Seinfeld in the role of a stand-up comedian living in the bustling metropolis of New York City. His life becomes further entangled by the eccentric circle of friends who accompany him as they grapple with life's most puzzling, albeit often inconsequential, questions. The show portrays the struggles of young adults navigating the complexities of life, love, and diverse career paths, highlighting that these situations, even if seemingly trivial in the grand scheme of things, remain significant in the present moment.
4. ‘The Good Place’
If you're looking for a dash of moral philosophy alongside your sitcom, this high-concept comedy is a must-watch. Set in what appears to be an idyllic afterlife, it poses thought-provoking questions about the value of paradise when plagued by intense imposter syndrome. Should you strive for self-improvement after death, and is it even possible? Oh, and by the way, I should mention that this show is genuinely hilarious. Rest assured, it offers both wit and wisdom.
5. ‘Grace And Frankie’
What happens when two women of a particular age uncover the revelation that their husbands have been engaged in a decades-long affair with each other, and they now wish to pursue a divorce? The result is a blend of heartbreak, comical shenanigans, and, rather unexpectedly, a series of business ventures. Netflix's original family sitcom delivers an exceptionally enjoyable viewing experience, offering a compelling narrative with a touch of humour.
