Where to start with The Office

One show, in order, and then the spin-off. The only advice worth giving is about season one: it is six episodes, it is the closest the American version gets to copying the British one, and it is the reason a lot of people bounce off. Season two is where the show becomes itself. If season one is not landing, skip to it and come back later, or never.

  1. 1
    The Office, season 1 The Office

    Six episodes, and the most divisive stretch of the whole run. Worth watching, easy to skip.

  2. 2
    The Office, season 2 The Office

    Twenty-two episodes and the point at which the show stops imitating and starts inventing. If you only try one season, try this one.

  3. 3
    The Office, seasons 3 to 7 The Office

    The run most people mean when they say they love this show. Straight through, no decisions to make.

  4. 4
    The Paper The Paper

    Twenty years on, the same crew picks a new subject. Nothing in it requires The Office, but Oscar turns up and the joke lands better if you know him.

Then what? undefined

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
