The paper season 1 made us ask one question

The “paper” brought the viewers back to the world of “Office” with a long show that has long been associated with only the previous series. In fact, he did not need to be associated at all. In fact, under the associations of the “office”, the “paper” is an offer that can flourish easily on its own terms, to the extent that by the end of the first season, I could only ask: Why is this even the accidental “office”?

During the last season of the “office”, The NBC has stopped cross plans led by Dwight entitled “Farm”, “Farm”, “Farm” Which was a good decision because it would have destroyed the end of the happy show. After filming the pilot shots, the network then decided to completely kill the cross show, which led to the filming of additional scenes in order to convert the shots into an episode of the ninth season “The Office” (which, with the ruling on the critical reaction to that same episode, was likely to be the best). after that, “Gardens and Entertainment” has almost an offer for the “office” as wellWith Greg Daniels, who led what was initially supposed to be a series in the same universe (but eventually became his own thing).

Now, we have “The Paper”-the first “Office” series that already resembles the same universe such as this show. In fact, this new series is directly linked to “The Office” in that it focuses on Toledo Truth Teller, who are now photographed by the same fictional documentary crew who spent years dating employee life in the Dunder Miflin Scranton branch. But the more I saw the “paper”, the more it felt as if its elements had shot themselves with the “Office” association – not only with the documentary, which requires a certain level of credibility, but also by stopping the offer that is clear that its thing with all the luggage that comes with the revival of one of the best sites at all times.

While there was some The bone fabric is reallyThis coordination has become troubled over time, which weakened a full set of series that were completely fine if they were shot like the traditional comic play. The UK “office” took the documentary approach so seriously that it helped increase the feeling that we had a glimpse of real office life in Britain dating back to the 2000. When the American version of the series appeared for the first time, it also seemed that it was taking his fake documentary seriously, in part, why was John Krasinski and PAM (Jenna Fischer) very significantly and influential. These people felt real people in a real place called a real documentary crew, and that was a fertile ground to tell a fun and emotional story not only speak to those who felt the same by the modern office environment, but they can also learn about the beauty of a love story that flourishes in interviews and fluorescent lights.

After that, each display began on the TV screen in placing the same style, but the national coordination is now a series of visual tracks instead of the actual stories narration device. Scenes filmed through curtains and door tires, fast takbeer and pans, tale by hand; This has resulted in Trops It appears that everything looks like a “office”, But there was something. The series, which included scenes that the documentary cannot reach the ability to raise the issue of whether they need to ask the issue of whether they needed Pseudo documentary approach In the first place. This started with “gardens and entertainment”, but this beloved series made her work partly because it came at the beginning of this mania in the style. However, in 2025, these cabarets became a very courageous satirical conflict, and they began to feel that they were entering the same outdated area as the multi -camera comedic series. This is a real shame on the “paper” because it comes out of the gate in a non -favorable position for its predecessor. It can never be hoped to match the freshness that characterized the early “office” seasons using an overused style. But moreover, it seems that he wants heavily to be freed from his fictional documentary staff, but it is not possible because of his association with the “office”.

This comes through the characters in “The Paper”, who are slightly less realistic and the most cartoon than their “office” counterparts. SABRINA IMPACCIATORE is a major example, but even Ned Sampson (Domhnall Gleeson) has his moments, especially in an episode in which we see footage of his past and fully described him as a humble and good deeds, seems to come out of the window in the pursuit of laughter. This would be much easier in a show that was not apparent from clips called by a documentary crew. It may also be more entertaining in a display that contradicts Zanier’s characters against the most calm and realistic characters, but it seems that the “paper” cannot decide anyone who wants to be, and a lot comes from its association with the “office”. It is clear that the new exhibition is inhabited by individuals who want to be wild and more theatrical than both of its predecessors and the almost realistic tone required in national coordination. All this raises the question again: Why is this even a “office”?

“Gardens and Entertainment” is a good example of a A great offer that had a harsh first seasonAnd many of that has reached the series that is trying to repeat the “office”. Leslie Noup of Amy Bouhler started as a female version of Michael Scott from Steve Carrell, but fortunately does not make the same mistake, as she presented a group where no one is a clear counterpart to a previous personality. But it also failed to move the independent spirit to its end. Unlike “Parks and Rec”, which struck his step as soon as you give up any attempts to simulate the “office”, the “paper” is still owned by the mother’s series in a way that you feel.

It should be noted that “Parks and Rec” also had an optimistic and dangerous look similar to the “paper”. It is better to be an example of Nid Sampson, which, although it can be misleading and lacks self -awareness, is ultimately optimistic optimistic with romantic ideas of Toledo Truth to bone and return to a time of real press. But with the shadow of “The Office” hanging during this first season, NED always feels as if it is fighting to match the comedy value of Michael Scott. Whether the co -founder Greg Daniels and Co. Like or not, the mere association of the exhibition with the “office” will lead to the viewers ’view – still conscious or otherwise – the comparison drawing, and Sampuson is not that character. If the presentation is allowed to exist on its own, it would be much lower than a problem.

The best “Office” (i.e. before the left of Steve Carrell) managed to find this balance between credibility and comedy, but it is clear that “The Paper” wants to do something of its own without worrying about achieving this balance. The only problem is that it should be because it is an accidental “office”. If her designs leave this offer, it may shine on its own terms. Unfortunately, after watching the first ten episodes, I could not get rid of the feeling that he had been associated with the previous series and documentary style. When you think that this is often just a loose cross that does not carry anything big from the original show, you really start asking about the goal of this cross show. None of this show will not be prevented from developing in the second season, which is now certain, but if it was presented as an independent series, I felt that he was hitting his steps directly from the gate.

The first season “The Paper” flows on the peacock, with the arrival of the second season, most likely in 2026.
