Insufferable middle-management type David Brent is the center of this mockumentary-style comedy set at a nondescript paper company in a nondescript office park in England. David doesn't realize that his employees -- among them beaten-down salesman Tim, under-appreciated receptionist Dawn and truly weird Gareth - put up with his feeble jokes and inappropriate behavior only because he signs the paychecks.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Ending the only way a show about an office really could -- with resignations and promotions -- The Office concludes on a high note that remains utterly rewatchable.

Ann Donahue Variety 09/10/2018
The genius of the show is Gervais, who also writes and directs, putting the vile Brent into situations that are ripe for disaster - and promptly turn out much worse than anyone could have imagined. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 09/08/2018
It is all unspeakably beautiful. Go to Full Review J. R. Jones Chicago Reader 09/07/2018
Fortunately the BBC series (2001-'03), totaling about eight hours, has been collected on DVD, and this marathon screening offers neophytes a chance to immerse themselves in its black humor and disarming pathos. Go to Full Review Andrew Lewis Screen Rant 09/11/2018
It's worth taking a trip to the darker, more depressing, awkward, uncomfortable, and just plain sad version of The Office that started it all: the original. Go to Full Review Bonnie Stiernberg Paste Magazine 09/11/2018
The humor's slightly darker than the American version, with more focus on characters' dissatisfaction with their dead-end job at a paper company, and Ricky Gervais steals every scene he's in as David Brent, the bumbling boss. Go to Full Review R.L. Shaffer IGN Movies 09/08/2018
The Office is a remarkable piece of TV history - a genuine institution of comedy and creativity that has inspired more television series than most. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Evan H. @XRoyalChaos Jun 29 9/10 (87.5%), Loved it See more Craig H @DownWeGo Feb 18 Maybe the greatest season of a comedy sitcom of all time with the most brilliant heart warming end to a show ive ever seen! See more Max W @MaxthorWoo 11/01/2023 Season 2 continues to amplify the characters' traits and maintains the mundane realism of office life, just as Tim says, in the world outside the camera, the folks in the office continue with their lives. See more Gareth v @geewah 06/24/2023 Everything that made the first season so good (the writing, the acting, the awkwardness of it all) hasn't diminished in the second season. Genius. See more 11/18/2021 Definitely a fun conclusion to The Office UK if not as good as The Office US See more 12/08/2020 Remains to be astonishing and underrated by audiences. A great pseudo-ending to a truly great show. See more Read all reviews
