I'm excited because I'm Office fan #1
but I'm not optimistic. There is no way to recapture the magic

I have never watched one episode of The Office. I only know it exists through Memes and GIFs. I guess we will be getting more!

Jason Whitlock as Creed.
Joe Posnanski as Toby Brooke Pryor as Angela I mean sure - we'd struggle to come up with Jim and Darryl, or even baseline competence like Stanley (or even semi-likeable idiots like Michael, Dwight and Kevin) but surely we can come up with some composite characters even if they're largely fictional.

Going to be a complete dumpster fire of a show.
The Office was good more because of the chemistry between the actors than the actual story/writing. |

Maybe, maybe not- but the writing was fantastic.

I can almost bet that this doesn't go beyond the first season.

That show just shouldn't have worked. But man did it. And the reason I say that is that I HATED Michael heavy episodes. Thought they were just awful. But then when he left the entire show fell apart. So you realized that a character that you really didn't like as a central focus was instrumental to the success of the show. How rare is that? I mean yeah - the best bet is always that a show isn't going to work. Especially an ensemble show where you just don't know who's going to be a breakout character and if you've cast/written that character well enough. It would've been so easy for them to mis-cast Michael and have the show crater. Or Jim. Or Pam. Or Dwight. When you need strong support from several different characters and failing on any one of them could crater the whole thing, that's working without a net.

I'm completely sick of remakes, reboots, and spin-offs.
Even a show as tame as The Office couldn't be made today, thanks to the "sensitivity" of modern audiences. This new show will almost certainly be dogshit, with gutless writing and bland humor. It will, however, showcase an extremely diverse workplace. ![]() |

--- Will it be more diverse than the cast that featured two black dudes, a gay latino, and an asian (more specifically Indian) woman? |

I'd guess it will be more diverse than the original, but more importantly it won't be funny. |
