Top 5 Workplace Comedies to Fill "The Office" Shaped Hole in Your Heart
I haven’t signed for up NBC’s streaming service for a few reasons. I don’t want to add another streamer to my monthly bills when there’s a lifetimes worth of content on the other streaming services for which I already subscribed. I can’t possibly remember one more password and frankly I don't want to be manipulated by having this great show used as a bargaining chip. NBC clearly is holding The Office hostage behind a pay-wall in a not so secret attempt to persuade people to convert to their streaming service. While I respect the hustle, here are some workplace comedies on Hulu and Netflix to soothe the soul and your already overstretched wallet.

The Lost Girl From Cincinatti
The bright lights force me to squint. They are hot, like the celebrities always say. I have spent the last hour in hair and makeup. I can’t decide who or what they want me to be. This skintight outfit covered in sequins is suffocating, but it does shimmer in the bright lights. I make a pouty face because the director keeps making hand motions like fish gills and I’m assuming that’s what he wants. I don’t speak Korean and he doesn’t speak English. I motion to my translator, but he just laughs. I don’t think he knows what the director wants either. Eventually, the translator tells me to “sparkle.” How am I supposed to do that? I suck in my stomach, flip my hair, and smile awkwardly at the camera. I do my best to appear sexy or strong anything but shy. Am I sparkling yet?
