Sitcoms are some of the most beloved shows out there. Whether we’ve had a hard day and want something to cheer us up or are looking for our next streaming binge, sitcoms are a great way to do it, heck, having all of the episodes in one place is what makesNetflixone of thebest streaming services.

However, sitcoms can also be a trap. Many of us (myself included) are guilty of simply restarting our favourite sitcoms as soon as they finish. Shows likeThe OfficeandPeep Showare hilarious and have so many episodes that it’s so easy to start watching almost nothing else. If that sounds like you, you’re missing out. Try some of these top Netflix sitcoms instead.

Arguably the best sitcom of recent years,Derry Girlshas spawned a million different catchphrases and even more terrible Irish impressions. With 99% on Rotten Tomatoes and countless awards, this is essential viewing.Following teenagers Erin, Claire, Michelle and James as they grow up in the unique county of Londonderry during The Troubles of the 1990s, Lisa Mcgee has created an era-defining show that is both powerful and playful. The young stars (includingBridgerton’sNicola Coughlan) are fantastic but Ian McElhinney is a scene-stealer as grumpy Grandpa Joe.

If you’ve not seenDerry Girls,catch yourself on and start tuning in, the first three seasons are on Netflix.

2. Community

“A fraudulent lawyer goes to Community College to earn his degree” sounds like a fairly sensible premise for a show, butCommunityis anything but sensible.

With some of the sharpest writing in TV history,Communityis a laugh a minute wild ride for every episode of its six seasons. However, whatever our leads (a study group of seven students from all walks of life) are up to, be it building the world’s largest blanket fort or having a model UN battle (you had to be there) we always come back to the characters. Whatever madness happens on screen, they are the heart of the show. It helps when you have a cast as brilliant as this with Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie and Donald Glover (and more) all superb.

With six seasons (and a movie in the works) there’s plenty of adventures at Greendale to sink your teeth into.

It’s so easy these days to think all sitcoms are about sarcastic quips and eye rolls. That’s what makes the relentless optimism ofUnbreakable Kimmy Schmidtso refreshing, especially when she’s been through so much herself.

4. The Good Place

Part Sitcom, part philosophy course,The Good Placeis a sitcom unlike any other. When serial slob Eleanor (Kristen Bell) passes on and goes to “The Good Place” she’s convinced that there must have been a mistake, especially when her neighbours are devout monks, deep-thinking philosophers and famous charity fundraisers. This is a story full of twists and left turns that once you’ve watched, you’ll never quite recover from. Many were hoping for more than the 4 seasons on Netflix butThe Good Placeis a rare show that went out on top.

Not only hilarious and thought-provoking,The Good Placeis arguably the most beautiful TV show ever made. The set and costume design is unparalleled with a unique aesthetic that would put even Wes Anderson to shame.

5. Arrested Development

Ok, now for one you’ve definitely heard of.Arrested Developmentfeatures probably the most stacked cast of Hollywood stars ever. If you can name them, they’ve probably guested on the show. Charlize Theron? Check. Ben Stiller? Check

A farcical story of corruption and financial ineptitude, this isSuccessionon laughing gas, told via an incredibly detailed interwoven narrative.
