The case for each
The Office (US): NBC's 2005-2013 mockumentary at the Scranton branch of the Dunder Mifflin paper company: Michael Scott's cringe, Jim and Pam, Dwight. Became the most-streamed show in America years after it ended.
Parks and Recreation: NBC's 2009-2015 mockumentary from some of the same producers: Leslie Knope, an endlessly optimistic official in Pawnee, Indiana, with Ron Swanson, April, Andy and Ben. Warmer than The Office, built around friendship.
