The Office - Season 8 - Review

Season 8 of The Office was a make-it-or-break-it kind of a situation for the writers. Since the departure of Steve Carell, the creators seemed to be in a situational dilemma. Doubts like, whether the office needed a new character as the boss or could the supporting characters run the show entirely were reeling in.

The first few episodes seemed like a bunch of trials-and-errors to determine the show’s performance and receptivity. Even with the absence of Micheal, who was the star of the show, I could not refrain myself from watching the entire season in the anticipation of lulling the mundane.

As an honest review, it was completely messed up. The show lost its charm and ended up in a pitfall. The only good thing about this season is familiarity. Since I watched 7 seasons already, I got familiar with the characters and there was no stopping point to their exceptional acting abilities. The reason why this season survived can be pointed to the quality of dialogue-delivery and consistency with previous plot lines.
