The Office

The Office is an American mockumentary sitcom television series. When a firm decides to downsize its branches, a branch office faces closure. A documentary film crew follows staff and the manager David Brent as they continue their daily lives.

The Office received mixed reviews during its short first season, but subsequent seasons, notably those starring Steve Carell, gained widespread praise from reviewers as the show's characters, content, structure, and tone diverged significantly from the British original. These seasons were named to multiple reviewers' top TV series lists at the end of the year, and they received numerous honors, including a Peabody Award in 2006, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and a Golden Globe Award for Carell's performance, among others. The series finale, which was broadcast on May 16, 2013, was seen by an estimated 5.69 million people and received positive reviews.
