    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
