On thing is certain when binge watching The Office in 2020: this year belongs to the Dwight Schrutes of the world, and we should have seen it coming:
, the occasionally funny but undeniably impotent sitcom that ran for nine seasons from 2005 to 2013, there is exactly one moment that resonates in our new cultural climate. It comes in Season 7, after the show itself had fizzled into diluted self-imitation, during one of the last episodes I watched in an on-again, off-again Netflix binge. Jim Halpert commits an act of surprising and atypical cruelty by hitting his co-worker Dwight Schrute with a snowball at his desk.
Jim has a faint yearning for more. He wants fulfillment, and yet he wants it for existing. Annoyingly, the show gives him a neutered version for free: the nice wife, the steady job, the sense of false elitism and coolness expressed in a raised eyebrow to the camera. Over and over, Jim Halpert gets validation for having no personality.
This, everything you read above, is what I’d say if you asked me that question: What’s it like to watchAnswer: It’s existentially frustrating, a tribute to American mediocrity. Also: Very watchable, especially if you’re doing something else at the same time, like playing online poker. Pretty funny at times, very funny at others. I intermittently enjoyed it. A solid B+.
There are only two funny characters on the show, Dwight and Andy Bernard, and it’s no coincidence that they’re also the only two with a sense of rage at the gross, simpering world around them. One’s aggressive, and one’s a fuming doormat, but at least they’re responding to the correct stimuli., seven years after it ended? Is this whole thing just an act of pointless cruelty? If you like the Americanin something more than a passive way, you likely crave reassurance. I know I do.
