When it debuted on Fox in 2003, its dense, fast-paced humor and serialized structure were ahead of their time, arguably paving the way for the binge-watching culture we embrace today. While later Netflix seasons had mixed reception, the original run——remains a near-perfect sitcom, rewarded significantly by rewatching and discovering the vast "extras" that expand its chaotic world.
