The Office (US, TV series, 2005-2013)

The Office US

I watched all 188 episodes, including the superfan episodes when available. The misogyny and racism are too blatant, and the office romances are too cringeworthy for this to be better than a 7. The problem for the formula of this show is that office life isn't very funny, the selling of paper isn't very interesting, so the show spices it up with sexual harassment that can't actually happen in real life.

Some good gags in this US version were improvements on gags in the UK version. The A-lister cameo appearances in the last few seasons were fun. Ultimately, the funny bits were pretty funny and the finale episodes were touching.
