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.

Tad Friend The New Yorker Aside from such occasional clangers -- fundamental-decency alert! -- the show has a near-perfect grasp of tone. Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Mhairi McFarlane Guardian Just as clever but more enjoyable, The Office: An American Workplace has grown to be something far greater than a competent facsimile. Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Erik Adams AV Club If handled poorly, the A-story could've blown up in the show's face. Rated: B Aug 29, 2018 Full Review Brian Zoromski IGN Movies Quite a few of the best moments in [the premiere] are the ones that show the impact of Jim and Pam being in different offices... Get back to Scranton soon. Rated: 9/10 Feb 22, 2020 Full Review Jason Zingale Bullz-Eye.com Though the third season doesn't offer nearly as many standalone episodes as last year, the writers have made great strides in the progression of the overall story. Rated: 4/5 Feb 20, 2020 Full Review Andrew Gilstrap PopMatters The characters' quirks are so familiar that they might as well be talking to us. Rated: 8/10 Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Captain C Season 3 brings our beloved characters that all know and love but there are some new ones coming. Karen, Andy and some others that leave shortly after their arrival. What I found nice with these episodes is there was a little bit of action starting to form amongst the characters and I really love it. Some episodes are a continuation to others which is really entertaining. However, the relationship with Pam and Jim, is becoming kinda awkward, it makes the show a little lousy. The show continues to stay one of my favourite show and I hope will remain. 90% Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Lasse L The quintesential sitcom experience. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Ed R Still going strong and the humor only gets better! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Audience Member Jim and Pam deserve each other Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Aiden P Around Season 3 forward is where the series really begins to kick off. A timeless classic you can easily rewatch a million times and find yourself laughing through it all. Very awkward at time giving you third party embarrassment, but that is exactly the charm. A wonderful cast and wonderful execution, Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review Max W Season 3 of The Office continues to uphold its excellent pace of character development, delving deeper into each character's story.
