A new sitcom has been added to Netflix, making one of the world's most popular TV shows accessible on the streaming platform. Netflix has been focusing on producing its own original content, including hit shows like House of Cards, Narcos, and Stranger Things, as well as movies like The Grey Man, Red Notice, and David Fincher’s The Killer, which was released last week.
Netflix has broadened its range by acquiring content from external sources, including shows like Seinfeld, Community, The Good Place, Ugly Betty, and Arrested Development. This week, a highly popular sitcom has been included in the Netflix catalog in the US, Australia, and the UK.
