The workplace mockumentary
follows the employees of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company’s Scranton, PA, branch,
both their work and personal lives. It is a remake of the British
series of the same name.
The show is created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant,
who also created the British series; however, it is developed for American audiences
by Greg Daniels.
The show has a great cast. It is
stars Rainn Wilson,
John Krasinski,
Jenna Fischer, Steve Carell, Ed Helms, Craig Robinson, Leslie David Baker,
Brian Baumgartner,
Angela Kinsey, Phyllis Smith, Kate Flannery, Creed Bratton, Oscar Nunez, B.J. Novak, Mindy Kaling, Paul Lieberstein,
and Ellie Kemper.
During the show’s long run, it also featured many fun supporting performances
from Zach
Woods, Melora
Hardin, Andy
Buckley, Catherine
Tate, Rashida
Jones, James
Spader, Idris
Elba, and Amy
Ryan (among many, many more).
In many ways, The Office was able
to differentiate and maybe even outshine its British counterpart. The first
season was a bit rocky as it tried to find its place, but from the start of
season two the series found its voice, creating a very funny and heartfelt
show. Yet, as funny as the show is, its best attribute is its great characters.
Over the course of nine seasons, these characters are developed and become
people the viewer comes to really care about. It is one of the best sitcoms of
recent memory.
