The Paper is a spin off of an American classic: The Office, In the trailer of The Paper the first thing most viewers will notice is the lack of warmth and color plastered throughout the scenes. The office walls are very flat toned and it causes most of the shown scenes to be incredibly corporate and unattractive to look at.

The characters all seem very unremarkable and run-of-the-mill. The intro to the show is a remixed version of the original Office theme song. The story starts off with the return of the camera men arriving at the new and improved Dunder Mifflin office building.

None of the characters feel reused. Every character feels unique in their own way and never seems to be trying to replicate anyone from the show. The characters seem to make their own moments and bits instead of relying on more character oriented bits.

The main plot of The Paper is that the old Dunder Mifflin office was purchased by a new company who revamped the paper company into a company that produces: toilet paper, toilet protectors and news paper. The main character of the show; Ned Samson, is hired in the first episode of the show replacing the old, careless boss Esmeralda Grand who did not care for the regard of journalism as she encouraged her employees to create articles that are covered in ads and viruses.

Once Samson becomes the boss, he pushes the employees of the Truth Teller to make articles that actually tell a story and articles that truly inform the people. The employees do not take him seriously and during Neds speech many of the employees do not take him seriously due to them never actually having to take their job seriously.

The Paper is very funny, the writers for the show maintain a similar sense of humor that The Office originally had with its purposefully cringe worthy bits and awkward and almost dark sense of humor.

With the return of Oscar, fans are given a more bitter and aged version of the character they once knew. Once the camera crew arrives he quickly runs away into the bathroom telling them that they cannot film him.

Oscar barely feels like the same character from The Office but this makes sense. The Office version of Oscar was about 30 years old and The Paper, which takes place ten years later, makes sense that Oscar would have seen a big change over the years.

For any fans of The Office, this spin off is worth the watch. The same sense of humor that was in the original is still there, and a perfect mockumentory set up for a story.
