TV Shows The Paper

[dimmerwit]

Anyone else tried this? It's the spin-off of The Office but based in a newspaper company. Aside from Oscar being there in another relatively low key role and some sporadic references (e.g. the opening bit with Bob Vance [Vance Refrigeration] and the demise of Dunder Mifflin Scranton) it's not too referential.

I watched the first two episodes and I quite liked it. I like Domhnall Gleeson in general and I think most of the characters show potential. My concern is that the Esmeralda character will become a bit one-note, but she might evolve. It's difficult to judge fairly because people are inevitably going to compare it to The Office with its established characters but in truth the first US series of that show was very flawed itself.

I would like to watch it, but as far as I'm aware, it's not available in Canada. I think it's Peacock only in the US?

Supposedly it's on Global / Stack TV, but they seem to be dropping episodes weekly. Yes, it's on Peacock in the US.

What to do?

You're right, it is on Global TV! I'm definitely going to check this out soon.

I’ll watch when there are more episodes and I can binge

All episodes are on Peacock now, as they are on Sky in the UK where I'm watching. I'm not sure why Canada seems to be restricted to two.

Could be something I actually use my cheap Peacock subscription for. I bought it to watch football (soccer), football (football) and some films that are available there quicker than here, but it's been underwhelming so far with the sport offerings. Basically not as much as I was expecting. So might dip into a series.
