married to someone who has pretty severe depression, and she's watched Good Omens a countless amount of times. I asked her about it and to sum up, for her whenever she felt the worst (whether it was the normal self-hate depression or outside world influences) that watching something familiar that also didn't demand all her attention helps her 'coast' through the bad times. i think there's probably a percentage of the sum of 2020 office watchers that'd say something similar.
the romance plots are awful. you're right, i don't understand how it doesn't just make the jim and pam story so unbearable for everyone else. if you pay attention to the editing and camera work you realize just how much screen time it eats up and how obvious it is from the beginning, which makes it such a waste and a drag
the humour is pretty good though, both steve carell's performance and michael as a character are 10/10
Well, in the British version (yeah fuck terf island etc.) the Jim/Pam relationship is a tragic crush, which is sad/funny and much more interesting. I mean, the whole american show is far too upbeat and the racist/sexist angles are played way down.

yeah when i realized how much i hated the jim/pam relationship (and really jim specifically) it kinda broke the show for me
I watched it when it first aired and I tried to rewatch some a few years ago. I stopped because it wasn't that enjoyable
