Netflix Review: The Office

By: Sydney Godsil

If you are the type of person that can handle corny jokes, romance, pranks and lots of goofiness, this is the show for you! Some people think that this show is inappropriate, however, there is more to the show than just that.

My quick summary: This show is based around the employees of a paper company in Scranton, PA. The cast features quirky, funny, smart and weird employees that many of us have in our own work environments. The Office lasts for 9 seasons with each containing various tales of the cast with, of course, humor throughout.

My favorite character: Jim Halpert, played by John Krasinski. Throughout the entire show, Jim is known for staring at the camera often, conducting pranks, and displaying his love for Pam. He is always a nice, decent person that does his job and lives a normal, funny life.

Overall rating: 10/10, no doubt. It fits every aspect of what work-life is like. You’re always going to have a strange boss, good and bad co-workers, life changes, love interests, etc. I think a lot of people enjoy this show because it is so relatable; you get to go into someone else’s work and watch them and know that you’re not the only one that feels the way you do about your job.
