An adaptation of Ricky Gervais' sitcom THE OFFICE, THE OFFICE – AN AMERICAN WORKPLACE is a comedy that follows the daily lives of employees at a fictional paper company. This collection includes every episode from series five. The show's true locomotive, is their boss, Michael Scott, played with masterly comic timing by Steve Carell. Scott is a middle manager of such shudder-inducing obliviousness that one never knows whether to be protective of him, embarrassed by him, or simply enraged at his behaviour, the only thing Carell's performance guarantees is an endless source of uncomfortable entertainment.
