Remake of British series The Office showing (what a surprise) office life in small branch of paper company, where incompetent manager constantly places himself and his employees in awkward situations.



Very uneven show - on one hand we have rather unimpressive scripts about office life full of using same comedy tool (called pregnant pause) over and over again. And on the other hand rather delicate plot (even dramatic up to a point) about Jim’s feelings towards Pam.

It has to be said - The Office (US) is the first successful attemp to convert British series for American market (6 seasons is a lot), but it’s really said, that the series that made it isn’t any of the best British series (or perhaps that’s the reason of their success).

Perhaps people who spend most of their lives in similiar environment will find Jim’s pranks funny or Dwight’s insane devotion hilarious, but I don’t think that’s enough for the series to become classic. American version of The Office is just 12 original episodes diluted into 120 episodes with cast of limited skills (especially John Krasinski who uses only 2 grimaces for the whole series, but Steve Carell and Jenna Fischer aren’t much better either). Just like in original The Office only 4 main characters are fully developed and the rest of the office staff just fill the background.
