Never Judge a Multi-Season series by its First Season.
Specially when you know it's got a cult following in and around the world.
One amazing "documentary" Of how maybe some of our Offices/Future Offices things gonna be.
Not Completely, but every one at some point or the other will relate.
This one post is not enough to explain how beautifully the series is, so going for 2 posts.
Let me begin with the man who made this series what it is, Steve Carell aka MICHAEL SCOTT, you may love him or hate him but you are gonna love him like you hate him.
Yes that's him, just like these lines above, you don't understand this man, you never do. But what I know, he is a team player, a family man here family stands for office and He is the one who kept the office alive. Probably one of the WORLD'S BEST ACTOR.
Coming to actor, writer, director John Krasinski who got his fair share of name from this show. He plays Jim Halpert, most sane character of the series. His character was purely a mixture of fun, wit and romance(only towards Pam). Those pranks he plays is what's the highlight for me
Moving on to the most hard working character and the man, who carried the show after Steve, Rainn Wilson who plays Dwight K Schrute. He is just unthinkable. Salute to the man, who built this character, season in and season out, Dwight has amazed me. What makes him the best, the things he did on the show, his dedication is what I love the most.
As already mentioned already the love interest of Jim, Pam Beasley played by Jenna Fischer. Beautiful, smart, confused yet the most adorable character in the office. Pam is just perfect as a friend probably the one who stands by you no matter what.
Other characters who were in the limelight, Ryan Howard played by BJ Novak, the only character I'm not satisfied writing wise.
Andy Bernard, the lead man of the show from Season 7-9. His character has undergone drastic changes. I loved him around season 5,6.
So before I explain the other characters.
The picture above says how I rated each season via a simple line graph.
Initial season was really good but for a fresh viewer it's like a different experience to get adjusted to this format. Chances are you might like it instantly but in my case it wasn't like that.
If you observe there is a huge dip in Season 8.Reason, an important person leaves the show. And actor James Spader joins the cast as Robert California. Just did not go well.
Last season was amazing, they really pulled off a great end.
The best seasons for me would be Season 4 and 5. Peak time for The Office.
Moving on to some major characters, the ones that probably I loved the most. Starting from Accountings Angela Martin whose acting was just amazing. Kevin malone was the dumb one. Smartest of the Office, Oscar.
Now Sales, as already mentioned Jim and Dwight. Then comes Stanley and Phyllis.
Most annoying HR (for Michael) , Toby. Quality Assurance/ Creepy, Creed Bratton. Meredith Palmer who was there to bring in some weird comedy. Receptionist Kelly who joins the show later and Gabe Lewis, the Sabre Guy.
Lastly, my personal favorite among the supporting characters, Darryl who works in the warehouse whose character gets a big push in around Season 4 I guess. These are the series regulars.
Apart from these there have been a lot of cameos which included Warren Buffet and some multiple episode appearance by Actor James Spader who plays Robert California for an entire season.
It's a huge show and it's not right on my part if I do not mention these character who make the Office what it is.
So kudos to the cast, the Directors, the Producers for putting up a great show.
Fact- It was basically an adaptation of the UKs, The Office.
But that show did not get the push as much as this did.
Thanks to some quality writing
Lastly, the Office stands out to be one of its kind. So do not miss out on watching this one.
Rating - 4.75/5
