This U.S. adaptation -- set at a paper company based in Scranton, Pa. -- has a similar documentary style to that of the Ricky Gervais-led British original. It features the Dunder-Mifflin staff, which includes characters based on roles in the British show -- and, quite possibly, people with whom you work in your office. There's Jim, the likable employee who's a bit of an every man. Jim has a thing for receptionist-turned-sales-rep Pam -- because office romances are always a good idea! There's also Dwight, the co-worker who is successful but devoid of social skills and common sense.

Christine Fenno Entertainment Weekly Gotta hand it to Steve Carell for bringing the physical comedy. I missed his mixture of wannabe mensch and total menace all summer. Feb 24, 2020 Full Review Kera Bolonik Slate The Office has artfully looted Gervais and Merchant's show for jokes and characters while at the same reinventing itself into something truly, well, American. Feb 20, 2020 Full Review Tim Goodman San Francisco Chronicle What's truly brave is the comedy itself, which borrows a little bit of Dilbert and a whole lot of Curb Your Enthusiasm as it celebrates awkward interpersonal relationships with no hint of escape. Rated: 3/4 Nov 15, 2018 Full Review Betsy Bozdech DVDJournal.com It's not just the stars who shine in this series; the supporting players (many of whom are also writers and producers for the show) are just as impressive. Rated: 4/5 Jan 7, 2022 Full Review Eric Goldman IGN Movies With Arrested Development sadly over, The Office is easily the best comedy on television these days. Rated: 10/10 Feb 20, 2020 Full Review Brian Zoromski IGN Movies Full of great character development, awkward situations and laugh-out-loud moments. Rated: 10/10 Feb 20, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Landen D Peak rewatch value. Best comedy show out there mixed in with a lot of great emotion. Perfectly done. Great Charecters. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Captain C This season of the office was amazing, the quality better, the episodes ideas better, everything seems to be a glow up in this season and boy it was a ride. I really love the fact that they ended season 2 with a high-gripping ending in which you want to have more. This season is one of the best seasons of every seasons show I have probably ever seen and I can’t think of one other thing that can’t beat that. Every episode was a blast. 100% Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Lasse L This is when The Office starts to feel right. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Ed R This is where the show really took off! You can’t rival Steve Carrell’s comedy during this era! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Regal R 85/100 - seasons 2 - 5 are great. the comedy is peak.
