Plot Summary
The Office was created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, originally for British television, and was adapted and co produced for American television by Greg Daniels’ Deedle-Dee Productions and Reveille Productions.
The American television series portrays the daily working lives of the office employees of a branch of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. The first season begins with all the main characters and the basic plot of the story, which is the companies downsizing and the Scranton branch where the series is based is the branch that faces possible closure. However Michael, the manager, disagrees with the rumours of down sizing or possible closure to keep up the office morale. More plots emerge and lives become entangled through the next three series, making a total of four series at present.

Reviews
Before its first airing, the New York Daily News called it "so diluted there's little left but muddy water," and USA Today called it a "passable imitation of a miles-better BBC original." A Guardian Unlimited review panned its lack of originality, stating, "(Steve Carell) just seems to be trying too hard … Maybe in later episodes when it deviates from Gervais and Merchant's script, he'll come into his own. But right now he's a pale imitation."
Reviews became more positive as the second season progressed. Come December, Time magazine remarked, "Producer Greg Daniels created not a copy but an interpretation that sends up distinctly American work conventions … with a tone that's more satiric and less mordant. … The new boss is different from the old boss, and that's fine by me." Entertainment Weekly echoed these sentiments a week later, stating, "Thanks to the fearless Steve Carell, an ever-stronger supporting cast, and scripts that spew American corporate absurdist vernacular with perfect pitch, this undervalued remake does the near impossible — it honours Ricky Gervais' original and works on its own terms."
Time magazine's James Poniewozik named it one of the Top 10 Returning Series of 2007, ranking it at Number 6.
