Frequently Asked Questions
Shows similar to The Office include Parks and Recreation, Abbott Elementary, What We Do in the Shadows, Arrested Development, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Schitt's Creek. All share the ensemble comedy sensibility, and several use the mockumentary format.
Yes, but warmer. Parks and Rec was created by Office writer Michael Schur and uses the same mockumentary format with a government office setting. It starts slow but becomes exceptional from Season 2 onward.
Start with Abbott Elementary (mockumentary, very similar tone), then Parks and Recreation (same format, warmer characters), then What We Do in the Shadows (mockumentary, completely different genre). All are excellent.
