This gently satirical and pathos-laden yet trouser-soilingly funny remake of the Gervais/Merchant BBC programme of the same name follows, in the form of a fly-on-the-wall mockumentary, the workers of the Scranton branch of the Dunder Mifflin, Inc Paper Company as they go about their daily routines, capturing the juvenile pranks and inane conversations that make their time there just about tolerable.
