From surreal procedurals to historical sitcoms, here are the goofiest shows on Netflix.

While One Piece delves into timeless themes of camaraderie, guilt, and forgiveness, a large part of its allure stems from its decision not to take itself too seriously.

This self-awareness has allowed it to strike a successful balance between drama and comedy, some poignant moments and outright silliness. If one season of One Piece wasn't enough for you, here's a list of equally goofy shows available on Netflix.

7. Murderville (2022, 1 season)

This show centers around Detective Terry and his ex-wife, Police Chief Rhonda. Rhonda assigns Terry a new partner to investigate a crime in each episode. The twist is that the partners are celebrity guest stars who haven't seen the script. Don't expect a straight-laced procedural from Murderville; it's a surreal show that relies heavily on improvisation.

6. Maniac (2018, 1 season)
