As this is the first season - when the American version of the BBC sitcom was still using most of its material directly from their episodes - the show stumbles in trying to find its own voice and way. However, as the show progresses, you already begin to see deeper characterization of everyone - from the arrogant (but vulnerable) Micheal Scott to the everyman Jim Halpert.



The humor is a little drier than in sequential seasons, but this is still a great way to begin the series. Highly recommended for any fan, as well as pretty much anyone else who likes to laugh.
