	Author	Review
United States	The Hollywood Reporter	"Relieved by wonderfully arch lines and mad behavior, the show is marginally reminiscent of Seinfeld in that it’s essentially about nothing"	POS
United States	Salon	"The first time you watch the show, you really don't believe what you're seeing."	POS
United States	The New Yorker	"The show's lodestar was Ricky Gervais as the regional manager, David Brent. David was a new figure in sitcoms: the unbearable lead."	POS
United States	Tim Goodman SFGATE	"The Office is something akin to Spinal Tap meets Dilbert, with a healthy dose of dry English wit"	POS
United States	AV Club	"The Office is a very funny show and it's a very cringe-inducing show, but for me, what resonates about the series is its ultimately humane nature."	POS
United Kingdom	The Guardian	"A very funny and influential sitcom. For people like me, who were only just teenagers, it's a lot more than that"	POS
