The Office Review

The Office is such a funny show but it's not for everyone. I really love it - I love the characters, I love the acting, I think Steve Carrell is so funny and that I've worked for him before - so I really love this show. The writing is clever as all get out (I love it that the temp Ryan becomes the Regional District Manager) - let's face it, we've all worked with quirky characters in real life before so seeing quirky on TV is funny.

 But it's not for everyone because not everyone gets the subtlety of the relationships in this show. If you like Friends (which is a very good show) or Seinfeld where all the relationships are exactly what you expect them to be then you might not find the nuance of The Office entertaining.  I like it that there's an undertone of affection for Dwight even though he is the STRANGEST character and Jim and Pam are messing with him all the time. 

 It's a great show, but it's not for everyone!
