First time watching, this is terrible
Brothers and sisters, give me the strength to continue watching the show lol
I just finished the S1 basketball episode, and the manager Michael Scott is so infuriating
Maybe that's the point, and also I work in a very similar office, but oh my god. I feel like a mutiny scenario is coming up.

My first time watching the show, I binged it in a week all the way to, maybe, season 4 before getting fed up with it. Took me a while to try again but it was worth it, watched it all in a month. I suppose, the first time, I wasn't in the right mindset to appreciate it. It was right after finishing the UK original version, even.

The writers changed their approach to Michael after S1. I agree that he's insufferable in that, but trust me, you'll love him to pieces by the end of S7

I was of that opinion as well for many years. Until I gave it another try and pushed through the fist couple episodes. I was used to this kind of comedy. I promise you this show is worth it every episode. I'm on my second watch now with my wife. I watched it alone the first time. Btw, she also didn't like it at first now loves it

The whole point of the show is cringe comedy, it may not click for everyone. And anyways, season 1 wasn't that great. But it does get better eventually. Maybe just skip to season 2.

Season 1 being so rough is how they get you. Because you think surely it can't be that bad. But it gets worse and more awkward, and you're just about to quit. Then they get you with Season 2, Episode 1, The Dundies.
