‘The Paper’: ‘The Office’ Offshoot Follows a Struggling Newspaper Staff That Includes Oscar Martinez

[Richtea1970]

'includes Oscar Martinez'

Probably one of the worst characters in the original series, so I don't hold out much hope.

[C69]

Could have potential, judging by the trailer (hopefully it doesn't include all of the funniest lines).

Ricky Gervais are Stephen Merchant among the executive producers. Not sure how much influence they would've had on the writing, though.

Only stumbled across this 'coming soon' very recently!

I loved The Office, so I wonder if this will be any good. On the face of it, it does seem to be a bit too much a copy of The Office, but we'll see

Starts today
Has fairly good reviews so hopefully a bit different from the Office

Same team as the 'American Office'.

[Old Man Peabody]

Watched the 1st 2 episodes and I'm struggling.

Big fan of the American Office, but I've not laughed once. The Tim Key character and the Italian lady are also loathsome, especially her.

I don't want to give up too early as it's well reviewed and S1 of The Office and Parks and Rec were also pretty awful until they found there feet, but things need to improve quickly for me

Fingers crossed

Tires is ok, HR episode especially.

[JimmyConwayNW]

I've not found it particularly funny.

[DSLiverpool]

This is surprisingly crap, no amount of Office mentions will lift a terrible script with no funny / cringe / intrigue present.

[UTH]

I'm 3/4 of the way through ep2, and I'm not sure I've laughed once. Will persist a little longer, but it hasn't got my attention for too much longer.

[BadOrangePete]

2 Episodes in and its not grabbed me yet, Seems more subtle/gentle than the Office, But I'll stick with it for now. Italian lady is annoying, but then I remember not liking Dwight BITD, and he became my fave character

I can’t believe they’ve retained Esmeralda.
