Everything The Office related is welcome. The show is over so this community is mostly for nostalgia, reposts but even the occasional news about both the UK and the US versions.

Be civil.

They aren't wrong, the first season isnt that good.

Super rough. Those hair plugs are so distracting lol

But after that is like at least 4-5 seasons of pure gold

The show has its moments and memes, but overall I didn't particularly care for it. My girlfriend has rewatched it probably 10 times by now. I just don't see what she sees in it.

That's fair. Not everyone enjoys the same stuff. Honestly, the showrunners' works since then have been much better.

Maybe try the original version (UK). I love both but the UK feels a lot better to me. Particularly the last episode. Also it feels a lot more authentic.

I watched most of it. It’s not funny, it’s depressing.

I am willing to give a piece of entertainment one episode, maybe two and at the most three to engage my attention. If it fails, I will drop it. Office managed to make me drop it in three.

Watching a whole season of a show you don't like is amazing. I'll do a few episodes if I like the premise because pilots can be rough, but a whole season? Damn.

[–] FuyuhikoDate@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Usually I give a new show one or Maximum two episodes... If it does not click I quit.

For the office I am glad that i listened to my friend who showed me the office and he started right with season two. I was like, why? And she just told me... Trust me.. You will skip otherwise a Good show...

tbf the first season of The Office is only 6 episodes so it's not that much more than your few episodes approach

I stopped during the first season. It was just too cringe. Years later I tried again and got past it and got a few more enjoyable seasons in.

[–] argh_another_username@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

Well, that’s me. I tried, couldn’t finish the first season, thought that was not for me.

[–] snake@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Start with season 2, end with season 7.

Easy!

The same as Parks and Rec

I don't think people being assholes to their colleagues is very funny ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Same, it's hard to watch

[–] Zatore@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Oh shut up already. The first season is incredibly good. I understand why people don't like it. Everything is way more awkward, but no other show hits like that. I'm guessing you would complain about the UK office too. Let people figure out what they enjoy
