On April 1 2020, Netflix is getting all six seasons of Community, the NBC (and later Yahoo) sitcom starring Joel McHale. This isn’t just coming to Netflix US, either: wherever you are, Netflix will drop all six seasons for you to burn through.
The show isn’t leaving Hulu in the US, where it’s been a mainstay since 2016, since Netflix’s deal is reportedly non-exclusive. Community is one of the best sitcoms of the last 20 years, and it once aired in a block with 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation and The Office. As a recentReddit post suggested, this was surely a contender for the best night of TV ever.
Community is about a study group at Greendale, a ramshackled community college. What starts as a fairly conventional, pop culture reference-heavy sitcom about on-campus escapades transforms into something more ambitious in its second season. This follows a memorable late first season episode about a college-wide paintball fight, which turns the show into a hilarious riff on action movies like Die Hard (directed by Fast and Furious mastermind Justin Lin, no less). This sets the template for high-concept episodes to come, like a musical episode, or one focused on a game of Dungeons and Dragons.
Not all of it is gold – season four is notoriously off-key, after a significant change-up in the writers' room, and season six is mostly bad – but this is a perfect show to watch if you’re going to be spending a lot of time indoors over the next few months. You might find yourself repeating the entire run over and over again.
