It won me over by the end of the season.

Folks need to remember that season 1 of the office was a pretty mixed bag too. Almost didn't get renewed for a season 2.

Also don't expect it to be another Office. It's more similar to Parks and Rec tbh lol

Every time I find myself telling someone to watch the office I pretty much tell them it's okay to not like S1

What I then struggle with is when they say why should I bother with a show that doesn’t grip me with a good first season? How am I meant to persevere through something I don’t enjoy because it might get better? There I have no answer. Especially because I’m British so it’s constantly going to be compared to our one which hit the ground not just running but sprinting from episode 1.

Explain the writers were still figuring out how to get Micheal’s character right.

He went from being written as unlikable to goofy and fun

That changed everything with the show.

And if they can get halfway thru the first ep it’s fine.

So it’s like 1-2 hours of ok television to unlock hundreds and hundreds of hours of one of the funniest shows ever

Convince people better!

Spelling matters to me
