As a fan of The Office (to put it mildly), my plan to watch Greg Daniels’ upcoming spinoff series, The Paper, when it debuts on the 2025 TV schedule, is a no-brainer. In fact, the only challenge I’m having at this point is keeping my expectations in check, especially when remembering the way it took me a little bit of time to warm up to The Office, and the same for Parks and Recreation, another series executive-produced by Greg Daniels.
I’ve recently been making good use of my Peacock subscription to rewatch Parks and Rec, and the Daniels and Michael Schur co-created comedy got me thinking about one underrated thing the show did really well with two of its characters, that The Office also achieved. Just maybe The Paper will find that magic as well.
