Every reviewer out there has praised this display for its brilliance and I’m going to be redundant and do the same. From its first episode to the last few seconds of the Christmas Specials, The Office never has one unpleasant line or one fraudulent sign. It’s unbiased about perfect.

Almost every scene takes location in the wearisome offices of the Slough branch of the Wernham Hogg paper company (Dawn, the receptionist, accurately describes it as “a crappy sub-branch paper merchant’s) . Wernham Hogg employs about 40 people and we accept to know all their faces as we notice them peer at computer screens, select coffee breaks, and goof off day after day. It’s as realistic as TV has ever been. Nobody is too delicate, everyone’s “office-casual” wardrobe is slightly wrinkled, and everyone looks bored out of his or her mind most of the time.
The people we pick up to know best are: Gareth Keenan, a bizarre “team leader” with a fixation on survival skills; Dawn Tindsley, the sweet and sarcastic receptionist who is stuck in both a uninteresting job and a stupid relationship; Tim Canterbury, a sales catch who hates his job but can never seem to actually conclude it; and David Brent, a man who thinks he’s everyone’s “friend as well as their boss” but who is actually liked and respected by no one.

The two main account threads running through all 14 episodes of The Office are Tim’s attempts to convince Dawn to leave her idiotic fiance and David’s constant need to label his employees, bosses, and everyone he meets with his various talents. We peruse his “humor,” his “poetry,” his “songs,” his “dancing,” and his philosophical “wisdom.” All of which are horrifyingly dreadful. David’s constant need to originate ends up slowly destroying him, Tim and Dawn remain unhappily inert, and things fetch worse and worse for everyone until the note almost becomes unbearable to peer. The cast is so qualified, though, and every line so pitch perfect, that you’d follow these people anywhere, even in despair. Also, the broad thing about The Office is, like life, all the possibilities continually exist for these characters and we never know when they might have a moment of redemption.
So, it’s not strictly a comedy, but it is the funniest, most devastating, and strangely uplifting display I have seen in original years.
There has been worthy hype about “The Office” being a substantial sitcom on the level of “The Honeymooners” or “Fawlty Towers” and it is that, but it’s something else, too. It may be the invention of a recent genre you might call the sit-tragi-comedy, because there are many moments in this black, unforgettable exhibit when the skull beneath the skin of the human condition becomes appallingly visible. They may sound pretentious (as Ricky Gervais says jokingly about his present on the DVD, it’s like Dickens, only better) but “The Office” deserves every scrap of praise it gets.
It owes a lot to the Christopher Guest mockumentaries like “Waiting for Guffman” in which the limits of human self-delusion are scathingly explored. There’s also the achingly tart characterization and wit of “Fawlty Towers.” Neil LaBute’s savage comedies of sexual combat and office politics seem note as well. There’s also the unmistakable whiff of Samuel Beckett (yes, I said Beckett) in the pacing and style, the emptinesses and Godot-like futility of the work. Perhaps the greatest aspect of the expose is how it combines both mercilessness and compassion at once. Many of the characters are honest bad people, but on the other hand at times they are very painfully aware of it. As David Brent despairingly wails, after his exploits have supposedly been telecast all over Britain, “I am not a plonker!”
David Brent, brilliantly incarnated by series co-writer and creator Ricky Gervais, is a Frankenstein-like compilation of the worst qualities of every boss you ever despised. Abusive, dishonest, incompetent, socially inept; yet convinced in his acquire mind he is a “chilled-out entertainer and comedian” before he is a boss, Brent is a walking inducer of cringes and acid reflux. The only worse person in the situation is the truly vile Chris Finch; bully, insult-artist and would-be womanizer. (The bar they frequent, Chasers, is like Dante’s Inferno space to disco music.) The team leader, Gareth, is a weedy miniature git who believes he is Rambo. The corporate executives circle the office like sharks, waiting for the next opportunity to lop jobs. Caught up in the mess are two innocents; Tim, the shimmering 30-year-old clerk who level-headed lives with his parents and sees through everything and who is in adore with Dawn, the sweet receptionist who is engaged to a swinish yob from the warehouse.
Scott Adams, of Dilbert fame, says that he is not anti-business but anti-idiot. I deem the same could be said of “The Office”; although the environment truly is soul-crushing, level-headed most of the characters wounds are self-inflicted. (The incredibly dreadful music video Brent makes with the money from his severance package can be seen in the Christmas special, and it has the power to compose your jaw descend to the floor.) Included on this DVD are both seasons of the indicate as well as the Christmas special which bring the series to an kill. It’s not too mighty to order that the creators do bring a joyful ending of sorts; whether you hold it can be sustained even 24 hours after the “documentary” cameras have finally been turned off is of course up to you. A shiny, classic series.
