Even the Rotten Tomatoes critics were impressed with these sitcoms.
It is a weird human affliction to reminisce about the past, saying that things used to be better than they are today. While this is definitely not true in some aspects of life, there is no denial that recent decades have given us many marvelous pieces of fiction, including a few really funny, ingenious, and era-defining comedy shows.
Here's a list of seven sitcoms of the 2010s that Redditors unanimously call chef d'oeuvres.
7. Veep (2012–2019, 7 seasons, 93%)
This HBO political satire is centered on Selina Meyer, a senator whose career takes a sudden turn as she becomes Vice President. Exploring the hardships of such a top-notch politician's life, the show makes fun of the American political system. Its writing is fresh and witty, albeit a bit more serious than an average comedy.
6. Schitt's Creek (2015–2020, 6 seasons, 93%)
A true masterpiece of Canadian television that garnered worldwide recognition, this sitcom is excellent at capturing life's fickle nature. The show follows the billionaire-turned-pauper Rose family as they move to a small town and try to get accustomed to their new lives. Funny, warm, and life-affirming, this series felt like the perfect conclusion to the previous decade.
5. Master of None (2015–2021, 3 seasons, 94%)
This Netflix sitcom spanned only three seasons, which was apparently just enough to tell fans a concise and compelling tale of what it was like to be a second-rate actor in 2010s New York. Ironic and sincere, Master of None is one great piece of entertainment.
4. Silicon Valley (2014–2019, 6 seasons, 94%)
Revolving around a group of young and geeky startupers from the titular place in California, this show may remind many of The Big Bang Theory, but it's also unique in its own way. The characters are complex and charismatic, and the humor is subtler than on other sitcoms.
3. Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013–2021, 8 seasons, 95%)
This classic sitcom centers around a fictional New York police department, featuring a lot of straightforward yet hilarious gags and ridiculous plot twists. It's very lighthearted and casual and is sure to crack you up.
2. One Day at a Time (2017–2020, 4 seasons, 99%)
Following an extended Cuban-American family whose three generations live under the same roof, this show brims with hilarity, drama, scandals, and romance. Incredibly diverse in terms of its plot and the characters' backgrounds, the sitcom is an absolute pleasure to watch.
1. Broad City (2014–2019, 5 seasons, 99%)
Yet another sitcom about friends in New York, this show is original in the way it treats its characters. Their storylines are unconventional, and the problems the friends have to deal with are unusual but weirdly relatable. Broad City has all the humor and drama of real life as well as many other trump cards to surprise you.
