      • Mar 10, 2023
        Back to basics and back to the enjoyable larger story.
      • Feb 22, 2023
        Great. Awesome, maybe the best series I've ever seen.
      • Dec 21, 2022
        Writers of this show have wild imagination to still produce a lot of gags and new happenings in this series.
      • Nov 04, 2022
        This season wa absolutely one of the funniest. It only started to get funny in the middle of it butwhen it did, it was very funny. Really liked it.

      • Aug 10, 2022
        Definitely an astonishing season, hilarious, interesting, and definitely something you want to watch.
      • Jul 14, 2022
        Not only does the show top its last season but does so in amazing fashion. The Office in this season makes some of its best episodes like Stress Relief Part 1, Stress Relief Part 2, The Surplus, Michael Scott Paper Company, and Broke. These episodes provide a deep dive into what makes each character, especially Michael.
      • Jan 22, 2022
        The tides turn in a season of big changes, a more consistent sense of enjoyable humor, and all-time best series moments.
      • Jan 18, 2022
        Awesome experience, the definitive comedy series.
      • Dec 29, 2021
        It really is just one of those shows that despite watching it dozens of times before, you can always turn on a random episode and you'll find yourself watching it again for the 13th time and still wouldn't mind. Season 5 was at the peak of it all, Steve Carrell's humour is something that always sticks to me even though I've heard him say his joke countless times. Could be dementia, or I'm living in '50 First Dates, I'll never know and I do not mind at all. 10/10
