Advantages: Great subtle comedy
Disadvantages: None whatsoever!
What is their to say about this amazing show that hasn't already been said? It is without doubt one of the most innovative and funniest comedies to ever been created, with some fabolous characters developed in the same time, namely David Brent.
The show is about a "fake" documentary taking place in an Office to show what it is like in this said Office and it's daily activites, and lots of comedic interludes ensue, makes you even want to work in an Office, looks liek great fun...though obviously it's not like this in real life.
2 series of this show was made, including a Xmas special and all of these are brilliant and alot of hilarity ensures. You could be quoting this show all day and naming specific scenes of this show for a lifetime.
The characters are great, David Brent is amazing, some the things he does are just brilliant and some of his quotes are awesome. Such things he does are pretending to phone an employee saying he's been sacked infront of his boss and instead phoning 123 time service and pretending to have a conversation with it, brilliant, stuff like this make the show amazing.
Also, how during the work day he doesn't seem to do much work...but is more interested in being liked and just working around telling jokes or lingering around his office to see if people want to hear his new or equivalent.
His trusted employee Gareth is again a great character, more dry wit than David Brent...but equally as funny and is a great foil for David Brent.
Other background characters like Finchy and Keith also come in well too.
All in all it's in my opinion the greatest comedy of all the time, if it isn't that it is without doubt one of the finest comedies created.
Can't recommend this highly enough, really i can't. If you haven't watch the two 6 episode seasons and/or the Xmas specials, it's a must watch!
Summary: A must watch, highly recommended
