Finding your next obsession
Finding your next obsession

A comedy for anyone whose boss is an idiot.
The everyday lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.
LUXEN Decision Guide
The Office starts as a workplace comedy built around awkward behavior, but its long run works because the office gradually becomes a shared social world. The humor often comes from recognizable personalities, while the emotional reward comes from watching coworkers who initially barely understand each other become important parts of one another's lives.
Best fit
Who it is for
A strong fit for viewers who want an easy ensemble watch, recurring character humor, workplace absurdity, and relationships that develop over time.
