Initially Pam seems generic (the quintessential receptionist) but as the episodes progress u realise the layers to her.

Jenna Fischer was brilliant. Pam was supposed to be this quiet girl who had an overbearing, toxic, controlling fiancee but she had a fun side to her which only Jim knew...later she grew, became more outspoken and strong.

Jenna's eyes did all the talking. Esp two scenes when Michael is the only one who comes to her art exhibition and when Jim asks her out in front of the camera crew...that smile was so precious ❤️

U forgot the scene when Michael was leaving. God this made me miss office.

She emotes vulnerability so well that I always end up feeling bad for her.

Jenna did a great job and I loved Pam's growth.

Jim was the best thing that happened to her...except that unnecessary drama between the two in the last season which made absolutely no sense.

Another of my favourites was when she rejects Jim for the first time and they end up kissing.

Looks like Imma binge watch again on Prime!

Honestly, i could see Pankaj Tripathi as Michael Scott.... maybe?


More than casting, BW needs super talented writers to get a great script. The Office worked mainly cuz of its writing, and timing was key in making it work. 2005-2013, was a very different but rapidly changing time and the script relies a lot on changing times of big corporations taking out small business, the incorporation of tech in doing business, rendering certain businesses moot.

Mike Schur ( love him) and Greg Daniels were visionaries in that sense, to conceptualize and adapt the UK version to US. So I am sure you can take the essence and reimagine it, but I am not sure BW has the skill or talent to do it.


If you like The Office, def check out Parks and Rec.

First 2-3 seasons made my heart wrench. It was so relatable. After Michael, I loved Kevin & Angela. Who was your fav?

I hated Angela 😂😂 Imo she really did dirty to Dwight...I couldn't believe after all the shit she did she still got an HEA. Dwight deserved better, he was a great friend and boyfriend despite his quirks.

My favourites would be Kevin (for sure!), Erin, Dwight.

Mose, Crews and Robert California were damn chaotic characters and I lived for it 😂😂

I loved Angela for the b*tch she was. She was literally a cat personified.


Robert California gave me creepy vibes.

Aww michael, he is the epitome of all things American for me.. the typical gullible, but open hearted, confident chatterbox, not very intelligent but open to understanding ppl/things even if on a very shallow and on the surface kinda level. I don’t think any actor in india would be able to pull this off.. they are too image conscious, thanks to all those chest pumping “mine got x-amount of HGOTY” wale fans.


Some of my favs are michaael at Pam’s art exhibition..

Michael and holly break up scene.. and the car ride back with Darryl and them “singing the blues”..
Jim comforting Dwight after his break up at the staircase!! Lol.

And from the secondary characters, Jo and their first main boss, the guy who later makes an app with his kid.. forgot his name, such a wholesome character! 👌🏼

Michael & Holly are like epic, at the level of Heer Ranjha etc. I got teary eyed when Michael proposed holly. I used to feel so bad for Michael that he was being manipulated by Jan and deserves a better person.

I won't say guy crush but I just adore his character.

I never liked Angela. Love the actress in real life though. But yeah the comparison between Angela and the cats was brilliant.

Rob California was a weird dude, you would either love or hate him...but couldn't ignore him.
