First thing to clear up about the Office: THIS IS THE ORIGINAL. The American version is far less gritty and more unrealistic which some people like but it's not really for me. The Office UK was a realistic recreation of a cringe boss who thinks he is funny and his coworkers who work in the most boring job out there. The awkward moments that some think of as being bad acting is part of what makes it so great. It takes something so relatable and makes it brilliant.
