Genre(s) : Comédie, Drame
Cette série met en scène le quotidien des employés de bureau d'une usine de fabrication de papier (la Wernham-Hogg paper company), à Slough. Le responsable de ces employés, David Brent, pense être le « patron » idéal, alors qu'il est détesté de certains, et passe ses journées à essayer d'être drôle et populaire en ne faisant qu'empirer les choses. La série est filmée sans rires enregistrés et sous la forme d'un faux documentaire réalisé par la BBC, alternant des scènes du quotidien des employés durant lesquelles la présence de l'équipe de tournage est souvent suggérée, avec des commentaires des différents personnages adressés directement à la caméra. Dans l'épisode spécial clôturant la série, la BBC retrouve les différents personnages afin de découvrir leur évolution 3 ans après la réalisation du documentaire.

c'est gênant, c'est drôle, c'est du Ricky Gervais, je suis fan. En plus il aime les toutous 🙂 la version US est très différente mais top aussi.

J'ai largement préféré la version US

Une série originale certes, mais originale ne rime pas toujours avec bon. The Office (U.K.) n’est pas mauvais en soi, mais elle n’a rien d’exceptionne...
14/06/2020 - 4/5
Entre rires et gêne la série est souvent très amusante. Les deux derniers épisodes sont moins cruels.

Très bonne série, personnage facile à détester, acteurs géniaux. Et les deux Christmas Special valent le coup d'oeil.
26/02/2012 - 5/5
Il manque le Christmas special en deux parties qui était arrivé après, pour ceux qui ne sauraient pas.
19/12/2011 - 4/5
C'est la première fois que j'ai ressenti un sentiment de honte pour le personnage... Ricky Gervais est excellent comme tous les comédiens !
