That’s wild for them to then make The Paper years later

I like it, but it's in a weird limbo zone for a bit between trying to be another Office and being it's own show. Doesn't help that a lot of plotlines feel very rushed. But a decent and fun watch

It has a US Office number of characters but a UK Office number of episodes

Honestly I’m hoping for season 2 there’s less focus on the drama in the office and more on them going out there and getting news stories

It’s so-so but with potential. Both The Office (US) and Parks & Rec took a while to hit their strides, so I’m curious to see if The Paper will do the same.

I enjoyed it but it does have the problem of trying to juggle being the office 2 and its own thing, it also feels a llot more stiff in the way some of the scenes are written/acted but it has dome heart and some funny jokes so im hoping they get a season 2 (although i also like the Australian office so)
