The Office

This is the most remarkable and hilarious workplace comedy created in this decade unarguably. I watched all the first 7 seasons inside a few days and I wondered how this show kept me so relaxed and wanting more and more from these characters as the story lines kept me hooked on the ever changing plot. The writers have marvellously twisted the flow of the show adding suspense, a little bit of drama and romance and a whole lot of insanely funny pranks, jokes and it really bond us with the characters. And something I felt unique about this show is that how we felt for Michael when he was desperate with his life although we hated him when he was a nuisance and he added something to the show that I find unexplainable.

So this is one heck of a show and I recently found that Billie eilish had watched this show 12 times! (worth it).

I'm from Scotland and loved the British "Office". But I adore the American version! Steve Carell leads a great cast and I'm not surprised it has lasted so long. I'm working my way through Series 3 and have series 4 and 5 to look forward to. It's amazing how much the writers can get into 20 minutes. I like it when there is a double episode. I too am so glad there is no laughter track (which has stopped me watching quite a few comedy shows). I have noticed in this third series that the camera can be very annoying when it whizzes from character to character - far too quickly. Completely unnecessary. Steve's "Michael" conveys so much about the character - he's full of himself but so vulnerable and anxious for friends. Rainn Wilson's "Dwight" is just brilliant. And I love the company name - "Dunder Mifflin"!

I am a huge fan of the British version of the Office. I remember looking forward to the American version when it first came out and being disappointed immediately to the point that I refused to watch it after the first episode. Almost 6 years later I gave it another go as people were telling me that it was actually quite good. I took the advice that I should start from season 2. This time around I enjoyed it more and gradually warmed to the characters that were basically copies of the British version. I can't believe that I would ever say this, but this show is as good as the British version. The bonus is that there is a lot more of it. It was certainly a knee-jerk reaction to give up on it so quickly, but it seems that a lot of people did. The Jim/Pam relationship is a clone of Tim and Dawn, but some of the pranks that they play on Dwight(Gareth in British version) are quite brilliant. There are certainly differences between the two versions, but generally the American version stays fairly true to the original.

If you loved the original, definitely give this a go.

This show has changed my life. The way I see things, the way I live. This show was then for me when I needed it the most. One of the best cinematic/artistic creation by men. This show teaches you love, compassion, finding beauty in simple things in life. Story of a small paper supply company in a small town, yet took the world by storm.

The best thing of this show is there are no background audiences laughing at even poor jokes. There are many sitcoms who use these tricks to add laughter and it is sometimes little bit irritating. The show depends on great dialogues, one liners and Steve Carell.

To name a few, I liked S4E8 and Threat Level Midnight episodes a lot!!

Michael Scott's character carries the show on its shoulders. After Steve Carell's departure, I find it difficult to binge watch all the episodes. That's my opinion!! Some people liked the show after Steve but few episodes were becoming excruciatingly long and boring. But still there were some gags and laughs.

Must watch!! Everyone for sure will like it. My personal favourites are one liners and how Michael jokes around with every character like Oscar, Daryll, Stanley etc.
