This season really suffered for multiple reasons. The main one being that the writers simply had no idea where to take the show after four successful seasons and ended up spinning wildly out of control with contrived plots, useless twistsThis season really suffered for multiple reasons. The main one being that the writers simply had no idea where to take the show after four successful seasons and ended up spinning wildly out of control with contrived plots, useless twists and characters that go nowhere. Chief among them, Ed Helms as Andy, who has never been that good to begin with but is now intolerable to watch. They have sucked all the life out of Jim and Pam's relationship. Michael is an empty shell. Ryan keeps popping up for no reason at all, other than B.J. Novak appears to write himself back into the script from time to time. The show has long suffered from too many characters. Introducing Idris Elba didn't help either, nor did throwing in Erin as the new receptionist while Michael tries to start up a paper company of his own, inexplicably managing to lure Pam away from the office. There are still quite a few good laughs, but even Dwight seems unsure where all this is going. The confidence that had previously sustained him is gone, as he tries to figure out how to appeal to the temporary branch manager in Charles Minor.

I don't even know why Idris Elba would take on a role like this. It doesn't suit him at all, and he only sticks around for a handful of episodes. Definitely a season to skip over.… Expand

I wanted to like "The Office" so much. I grew up with the abundance of memes and quotes and when I finally watched it, it felt stale and the jokes were not dark enough.

The Office was a great show, until Michael Scott departed and let Andy Bernard ruin it. Before Michael left, the show would have earned a 10, but after it turned really bad.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly I don't have much to say about this show, in my opinion it's probably one of the most overrated shows ever (even more than Friends). Is it objectively bad? No!! Of course not! However it's EXTREMELY overrated. I do agree with some people that if you like Brooklyn 99 then you'll definitely like this show, I can understand that. However if you're a normal person like me then you would walk into this show not expecting much and only returned little. It's a good "white noise" show you put on in the other room so it doesn't seem like you're alone in the house or a show you put on for your dog while you're at work but honestly that's all I can think. This show definitely can be funny and it has been funny before and it does yet have it's moments but the show itself is not interesting or that generally funny, it only just has it's moments. Also, f*ck Pam.… Expand
