Steve Carell stars in The Office, a fresh and funny mockumentary-style glimpse into the daily interactions of the eccentric workers at the Dunder Mifflin paper supply company. Based on the smash-hit British series of the same name and adapted for American Television by Greg Daniels, this fast-paced comedy parodies contemporary American water-cooler culture. Earnest but clueless regional manager Michael Scott believes himself to be an exceptional boss and mentor, but actually receives more eye-rolls than respect from his oddball staff.

Way better than the UK version
They’re really two very different animals. I don’t think one is better than the other. They each have their own unique spins on the theme that are great & each cast does what they do very well to bring out the comedy of dreary office life.
The title and description doesn’t match the episodes (season 4 and 5)
This show ruined comedy. It made saying “uhh” and staring blankly into the camera into the height of comedy and it has made comedy writers and producers lazy and talentless. “Just have him say ‘um’ and look awkwardly into the camera”. Americans ripping off British stories because the lack of originality yet again, just like Shameless oof
This show was not “stolen” from the brits, and it has genius writers who use the subtleties of comedy and the characters to make the show good. Of course, a lot of American comedy fails hard, but the Office is quite literally one of the best comedy shows in existence.
Many of these episodes are out of order.
I had to turn this garbage off after Season 2 Episode 2 … and that was AFTER watching the UK version of this show. How really horrendous shows that reward narcissism and other cesspool qualities can last for so long in this day and age is beyond comprehension.
