A few months back, I decided to finally watch a show that is
constantly raved about: The Office.
While the show had already ended, so many people, including Brittany,
have always encouraged me to watch it, and I finally decided to do it. I will say that going into it, I already knew
the basics, had seen random episodes, knew the general plot lines, who ends up
with who, etc. Overall, I had an idea of
what to expect.
I was definitely not expecting to fall in love with the show
as much as I have. I will say it now
just to get it out there- if you haven’t watched the show, just do it. It’s hilarious, light-hearted, and perfect. I personally love starting my day with an
episode while eating my breakfast. It’s
great to start the day with a good laugh.
This is absolutely one of those shows the only gets better
with time. But right off the bat, the
show was incredible. An episode in the
first season, “Diversity Day,” which I had seen before, had me hooked and drew
me further in, but then later on in the show classic episodes such as when
Dwight creates a ‘fire drill’ causing Stanley to have a heart attack, had me
laughing so hard I was clutching my ribs.
It’s a rare thing to find a television show that can make me laugh that
hard.
Even better, the show is on Netflix. If you don’t have a subscription to Netflix,
I would highly recommend the service, but I’m not going to even get into how
much I love the service.
My favorite characters? I have to say I pick the “obvious
ones.” Jim, Pam, and Dwight. I
definitely squealed with delight over Jim admitting he purchased an engagement
ring a week after beginning to date Pam, and began tearing up at his impromptu
proposal. I’m a softie, what can I
say? Dwight brings the hilarity and
ridiculousness that every show and film needs, and he does it with such absurdity that
is so out there you just want him in your own life.
Are you a major Office fan?
Which characters are you lusting over?
Do you want to work at Dunder Mifflin?

I’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions on the show!
Until next time, Happy Reading!
