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.

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

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

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.

Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
