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.

John Doyle Globe and Mail 04/16/2020
There will never be anything else to come along with the exact right balance of deadpan comedy, corporate cynicism and full-blooded heart to fill the hole that The Office left behind. Go to Full Review Linda Holmes NPR 02/25/2020
The Office has seemed lost, particularly by devoting substantial time to world-building Dwight's beet farm, a remnant of a failed spin-off effort. Go to Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 02/25/2020
It succumbed to the bane of American TV -- the endless more-more-more of anything good or popular, the twisting of characters into pretzels to simply keep them in motion, the cheap substitutes after lead actors depart. Go to Full Review Thomas Lethbridge Screen Rant 11/08/2024
8/10
Despite being 19 years old, The Office remains one of the best-loved and well-realized workplace sitcoms ever made. However, the series isn't perfect. Go to Full Review Ishmeet Nagpal Mediaversity Reviews 06/26/2024

Although The Office intends satire, it never takes the time to properly critique racism, sexism, or homophobia at the workplace. By the end of its 201 episodes, the series merely winds up normalizing it. Go to Full Review Kathryn Reklis The Christian Century 08/27/2021
As the show moves into its final seasons, the parody eases up and even Jim comes to realize that the office where he spends the majority of his waking hours is where the most significant relationships of his life will be formed. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gen . @Gensslifee Jun 29 Loved everything except how they ruined Andy’s character and just change all of Erin’s dynamics…. Other than that everything was super emotional and amazing to watch! See more Yasmin A @RT81439646 Jun 29 The Office (US) is a mockumentary sitcom about a documentary crew following employees at the fictional paper company Dunder Mifflin in Scranton. The main cast includes Steve Carell, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Rainn Wilson, Ed Helms, Mindy Kaling, B. J. Novak, and Leslie David Baker. The show is funny, awkward, heartwarming, witty, relatable, emotional, entertaining, and iconic, as the characters deal with work, relationships, and personal growth. Over time, they form strong bonds and face major life changes before the series ends with an emotional farewell and reunion. If you enjoy clever humor and unforgettable characters, The Office is a must-watch that quickly feels like home. See more Dylan P. @TCUfan44 Jun 9 I really like this show! It was better with Steve Carrell, but still good! See more mahmoud L @RT71324487 Jun 3 I swear finishing this show is worse than a real heartbreak. For 9 seasons, these people weren’t just characters on a screen, they were my family. I don't think a TV show has ever made me feel this incredibly attached and this empty when it ended. 10/10 See more bob t @RT89536276 Dec 12 This season all around is just alright but those last few episodes are masterpieces and bring this season up to a 5 star review, great way to end the show! See more Caleb S. @review-person-friend77 Dec 10 This review is for The Office as a whole. Just a great show. Jim and Pam have such a great love story, Dwight is an incredibly lovable character (and so is pretty much everyone else), and Michael is unbeatable as a character. Props to Ricky Jervais for creating the character, but man did Steve Carell perfect and immortalize him. I love the drama, the romance, the creativity, the wit, and obviously the comedy of this show. I laughed so immensely hard, and I held in tears to not embarrass myself in front of my wife. Also, people bash on the last two seasons, but I still think they are great additions to the story. Yeah, Michael Scott is the best character, but Jim, Dwight, Pam, Andy, and the rest are still what make The Office great. I would absolutely recommend that everyone watches the whole thing, start to finish. See more Read all reviews
