Reviews & Thoughts
Such an incredible show. Probably my favorite show of all time. The characters and office environment is easy to relate to. The Dwight and Jim rivalry is fantastic.
I will never understand the hype over this show. The premise is absurd. It took how many years to complete a documentary about a paper company? The characters are, well, hollow at best. I just don't get it.
