Overview

Welcome to Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, Scranton branch, where regional manager Michael Scott believes he is the world’s best boss and his long-suffering staff politely disagrees. Filmed as a mockumentary, The Office turns the most ordinary workplace in America into comedy gold: Dwight Schrute’s beet-farm schemes, Jim Halpert’s pranks, Pam Beesly’s quiet dreams, and Michael’s painfully earnest attempts to be loved. Beneath the cringe and the chaos, a warm story grows, as colleagues become family and the paper business becomes the backdrop for one of television’s great romances. From the Dundies to the fire drill, from Pretzel Day to the finale, this is a sitcom that rewards rewatching, because every glance at the camera hides another joke.
