The Paper Reviews

6.8/10 It’s entertaining enough, PLEASE GET RID OF ESMARELDA, woulda been a like if she didn’t exist.

I think it’s actually difficult to do a reboot of an amazing show like The Office, especially because you cannot watch this show without thinking of The Office. It was good, the firsts episodes were good enough, the mid ones were “meh” and the last ones were great! I like it!

I know it’s super crazy to say, but I might like this show more than I like The Office 👀

2/10 can’t get passed S1E2, wasn’t feeling it. Preferred “The Office US”.

As a die-hard fan of "The Office" (US), I was unsure whether I wanted this or not. I gave it the benefit of the doubt anyway and watched it with cautious optimism. I wasn't expecting anything great, as it's only a season in, but it's definitely not great, and for two obvious reasons. I love the premise, the filming, the Putmans, and Esmerelda. Unfortunately, the jokes are nowhere near as edgy as they should be, the majority of the cast are unappealing in an unfunny way, and why is Oscar the only OG? This might hit with first-time viewers, but comparing it to "The Office", it doesn't seem very promising. I'll probably give it, at most, two more seasons to convince me.

Hard to get into so far, not sure if I can finish it

This was a better pilot season vs. The Office but that’s only because hindsight is 20/20. I am invested in where this goes but don’t love that the romance track feels really familiar. There’s enough to differentiate it but still plenty that makes it familiar.

cool

Once you get passed that this show has nothing to do w the Office aside from Oscar and the camera crew then it’s actually a pretty funny show
2 seasons in but not all characters feel fleshed out aside from the main 3 and there’s some arcs that finished too quick I feel

.

The first season was a great was to swing away from The Office. I am on season 2 now and so far I love this show and the characters

worse than The Office UK...c'mon

My only question is why only 10 episodes. This is the type of tv that would so much benefit the 20+ episodes arc.

👍🏻

Started a little slow but just like The Office it is so funny and smart. I loved all the characters. It's a must watch!

Second season still made me laugh out loud but I feel like they’re rushing the relationships ughhhh this definitely misses the slow burn that the office mastered

I can’t decide if I want to keep watching it, I had really high hopes for season 2 but I think it was on par with season 1 and I can’t seem to connect with the characters and messages

this is a decent watch but it comes no where near the office. it falls short in part because it is trying so hard to recreate it. i often cringe at the obvious copy and paste elements of it. the cold opens, the comic relief characters, the camera look. the office made it work because of the original-ness and the quality of the characters. this has neither. not sure why the love interest is the michael of the show, that’s not the character i want to invest in. he is cringe and hard to watch during those moments. esmeralda needs to be written off, she is so god damn annoying and not funny at all. the other characters, with exception to detrick, and are so background and blah it’s insulting. they had a good template but failed to execute on the basics

Great Show

9/10; a great show that’s hilarious
