Netflix Once Had Its Own The Office Starring Steve Carell (But It Only Lasted 2 Seasons)

There are several shows that have tried to replace The Office since it ended in 2013, but Netflix has arguably come the closest to doing so - even if it wasn't nearly as successful. Although it didn't invent the mockumentary style of sitcom-making, The Office certainly played a huge role in popularizing the subgenre. So, successors like Modern Family and Parks and Recreation perhaps wouldn't have existed without The Office's success. That being said, the show's most direct descendant to date strayed from this approach, but retained Steve Carell.
