TV recommendations to watch with 13yo who enjoyed American The Office?

13yo ds and I have just finished watching American The Office and I'm looking around for another series to watch.

We both loved the American one, but we've tried the English original and we're not so keen.

We've previously enjoyed:
Parks and Recreation
Friday Night Dinner

Probably more that I've forgotten. If I can't find something suitable I will have to fall back on watching minecraft videos with him, which I'm keen to avoid tbh. Grin

Ted Lasso is brilliant.
The Long Way Down - wasn't expecting this one to be something we all enjoyed. Also in same vane Ecorace- worlds toughest race

My boys loved Malcolm in the Middle, Modern Family, Brooklyn 99, Community, Stranger Things.

And Brooklyn 99

My 15 year old lived Malcolm in the Middle - hence the suggestion.

We’d worked out way through Friday Night Dinner, The IT Crowd, Green Wing, The Windsors and Deutschland 83.

Fresh Meat and Deutschland 86 up next.

*loved (not lived - although he did look remarkably like Dewey as a toddler).

Veep!! It's the American version (by the same writers) of The Thick of It but much more mainstream (and suitable for a 13 y.o.) I think he would really like it if he liked The Office American version.
