The Office.
I’ve tried multiple times, but can barely get past the first few episodes before turning it off from boredom or cringe.
Weirdly, I enjoyed Parks & Rec - but I did go into that knowing that S1 was quite rough and not reflective of the show as a whole.
Funny enough The Office also has a different first season compared to the rest. The first season closely tracks the UK counterpart and doesn't find its own until season 2.
Of course if cringe humor isn't your thing then season two onward is still more of that, but if you liked Parks & Rec then maybe you'll be good with it.
I’ve heard this also; but I the biggest difference between the two doe for me was that I could manage to sit through S1 of P&R whereas I couldn’t for The Office.
The next time I have a lull in TV viewing, I might try again starting from season 2 - but between all of the memes and YouTube Shorts, I am not particularly hopeful.
