The office (U.S) T V series review

Image
We used to watch this series during the high and dry days in Chennai. Back then it was introduced to us by the talented memeya. The show and specifically some of its characters were the subjects of multiple memes and now I see why - this is a very popular series, and the sporadic episodes which we used to watch back then always had us in splits. Courtesy imdb This one is based on the original show from the U.K, and has been remade in the U.S. The show follows the everyday work lives of employees in a fictitious paper company, Dunder Mifflin, in Scranton, PA . The show employs a unique narration technique. It feels like a documentary, although there is no voice-over or laugh track, so it feels different. The subjects interact with the camera in between shots, giving us their take on events. This technique is called "Cinema Verite". Learn more : " What is cinema verite?
