The Office is one of the most popular and beloved sitcoms of all time. Therefore, the spinoff, The Paper, was always going to have big shoes to fill. The imperfect pilot introduces us to this new world and plenty of characters, and they are the biggest selling point for the series. I have only watched the pilot so far, so I am unaware of how the show and these characters develop over the course of the season. However, I can imagine some of the antics we will get with this new crew.
I haven’t been following the development of the sitcom, so I was a little surprised to see a few Office familiar faces in the first episode. This automatically made me nostalgic for the hit NBC show. These returning characters fit well with some of the show’s additions to The Office world. There are plenty of eccentric and intriguing characters, but I find myself most intrigued by Ned Sampson (Domhnall Gleeson).
