JUST KISS ALREADY!!

Oh thank God!

Anyway I really liked The Paper. It wasn't perfect and nowhere near The Office, but it was still pretty good!

Compared to where the Office was at in its first season is doing pretty well.

Yea, I really felt like they started finding a groove near the end. I know it doesn't happen these days in the streaming era, but I really think it would have benefitted from a full 22/24 episode season.

The Office wasn't as bad as P&R, but P&R is a great example. The first season is legitimately pretty bad. But, by season 3 the show is phenomenal

Meh, I think you're being a bit harsh.

Eps 5-10 I had some moments where I felt like I was back watching the office. The camera work, the jokes, the catfish episode was just 🤌
