    This two-part Christmas special has the same gut-wrenching effect of the previous two seasons with Gervais' Brent's unbearable presence still palpable. Dawn and Tim's love fiasco finally gets resolved in an effective, heartfelt manner and the supporting cast are still the fumbling idiots you've grown to know and love.

    Honestly i like the us version better, especially because of Steve Carell. Gervais is a genius but his series always are to **** short, can´t get completely into it

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A two part finale that provided the perfect send off for arguably the greatest sit-com of all time. This brief return was of course as funny as ever but the emotional pay off took things too another level entirely, you’d have to be made of stone to not shed a tear at the return of Dawn in the final scene!… Expand

    A fitting conclusion to a series that could have gone a little longer. Great ending for Tim and Dawn, particularly. Gervais is off the Richter scale funny.

    Resolving some threads from Season 2, while delivering its own dose of dry humour, the Christmas Specials of "The Office" is a fitting conclusion for the legendary series.

    A masterful two-hour finale to an already exceptional program. [21 Oct 2004]

    Whether it's Brent's starry-eyed foppishness, Dawn's artistic daydreams or Gareth's organizational stiffness, these are characters we don't see on American TV. They're not accomplished, clever or distinctive. But they're so well-observed, and so subtly personified, that it's as if we're finding amusement in people we know. [21 Oct 2004]

    Thanks to a finale that is, by turns, hysterical, excruciating and even poignant, this series--about a blowhard branch manager (Ricky Gervais) who gets sacked from his job at a struggling paper company--gets to quit while it's way, way ahead. [18 Oct 2004]
