The Office
I saw The Office last week, both series of it. It was a really funny, very well done comedy. Ricky Gervais is totally funny, really amazing. David Brent is quite the delusional boss; Gareth Keenan, Tim Canterbury, a very interesting group of people at that office. I feel a lot better about my office; atleast it is not the Slough branch of Wernham-Hogg.
I didnt know anything about the series itself, and only heard of The Office as being a very popular American tv show. Aswini added Series 1 to the netflix queue and I watched it without any sort of idea of what I was going to see. And man, was I amazed at it! I had to get the second series (the BBC calls them series; the American equivalent would be season) and the Christmas special.
The expressions made by David Brent are just really funny, like for instance, the way he points at the toy monkey (in episodes 1 of both series 1 and 2). His “motivational” speeches to his staff, the way he reinterprets events to show himself in a really good light, all just really funny. The music during the final titles is also nice.
I hope the American version is just as good.
