I have also cycled through the office twice now and will go a third time. I just love that show and cannot find anything equivalent in comedy. I chuckle out loud over and over again.

Two other shows I've cycled through more than once also are:

Black Books (british comedy about an irish guy running a used book store but he hates people and drinks and smokes too much - very funny if you just give it a couple of episodes)

I also love Still Game - a scottish comedy about two pensioners who've been friends their entire lives. I savoured every episode. I was born in scotland which is why the british shows appeal to me so might not be everyone's cup of tea.

I've been meaning to check out the two shows you mentioned. If I get a month of Britbox, I hope they are on there.

These are a few that I've liked:

HBO:
The Night Of - about a college student being accused of murdering a young woman during a one night stand. He doesn't remember doing it.

Olive Kitteridge - four part series based on a Pulitzer Prize winning book. It stars Frances McDormand. I loved the book and the series didn't disappoint!

Netflix:
The Fall - this is about a detective (Gillian Anderson from The X-Files) who goes to Ireland to investigate a serial killer (Jamie Dornan from Shades of Gray but he's much better in this series, lol!) I was hooked on this one and watched all of it in about 10 days!

Paranoid - British series about detectives trying to solve the murder of a doctor (activist). Great characters in this one.

I just started watching Atypical on Netflix and really like it. I heard Ozarks is good, but haven't watched it yet.

Not HBO or Netflix, but one show I really like is Younger on TV Land and it is great that is only a half hour.
That way I can keep up!

I still have episodes from This Is Us and Better Call Saul sitting in my DVR!

Loving Atypical and The Ozarks on Netflix right now.

Gypsy on Netflix was also highly entertaining.

Catastrophe on Prime is awesome.

You're the Worst on Hulu is aces.

I was obsessed with that show the first 4 maybe 5 season, but then lost interest after awhile. That said, if you love The Office I urge you to give one - or all - of the following a go: Parks and Rec, Community, 30 Rock and/or Arrested Development (if you have not already). These are all fantastic shows in a similar "vein" of comedy as The Office.

Ah and Veep is also one of the best comedies ever if you want to spring for HBO online!

Looking forward to the return of Outlander! <3 (technically Starz but I stream it through Amazon)

I think Amazon Prime has added older comedies. They added Roseanne and I think 3rd Rock from the Sun, which is hilarious.
