About

Quick guide

A quirky study group tackles absurd college misadventures in Greendale.

Community follows disbarred lawyer Jeff Winger, who enrolls at Greendale Community College after a fraud scandal. He creates a study group that attracts a diverse mix of students—Abed, Britta, Troy, Annie, Shirley, and the eccentric Dean Pelton—who become inseparable friends. Over six seasons the group navigates college life, pop‑culture parodies, personal growth, and bizarre campus politics while staying true to the heart of humor and friendship.

What to know

  • Jeff is a former lawyer whose fake degree lands him at community college.
  • The core cast is a tightly knit study group with distinct personalities.
  • Each episode often parodies a specific film, TV, or genre trope.
  • Dean Pelton frequently drags the group into over‑the‑top campus schemes.
  • Season 4 sees the group graduate, with a focus on transition to adulthood.
  • Season 5 includes a pivotal death of Pierce and a shift in group dynamics.
  • The final season wraps the series in a reflective, bittersweet tone.

Watch if

If you enjoy sharp, dialogue‑heavy comedy that references pop culture, thrives on character arcs, and rewards long‑time fans with meaningful payoff, Community delivers a clever, heartfelt, and consistently inventive experience.

Skip if

If you prefer light, low‑stakes sitcoms, or dislike humor that relies on inside jokes, references, or rapid cuts, the series may feel too meta‑dense and character‑centric for casual viewing.
