After a long day of working, cleaning, and doing everything at once, we love to end the night by binging a new show. Well, we set out to anyway. It’s hard to choose a new show when you know your favorite, go-to show is just a click away. So you go to your recently watched playlist and pop on a few episodes of cult favorites like The Office or Friends. But while almost all the shows we adored used to be on Netflix, we’re increasingly finding our faves leaving the platform for other streaming services — and we’re here to help you out with tracking them down.
Netflix is constantly breaking our hearts lately. Between canceling shows we love after two seasons and removing some of our comfort shows from its platform, we can’t catch a break. However, just because our favorite shows are gone from Netflix doesn’t mean they’re gone forever. From Hulu to Peacock TV, we can find our favorites easily for more binge-worthy fun.
From 1990s paranormal must-watches like Angel to ongoing comedies like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, you can find whatever you need on other platforms. It may seem expensive at first, but many of these platforms can be affordable, with a base Hulu plan starting at only $6.99 a month.
Check out where you can watch your favorite shows that, sadly, aren’t on Netflix anymore below!

‘The Office’

Fall in love with Friends as they try to survive love, friendship, and NYC.
