Yes, until Michael leaves. Then skip to the last episode.

Spoiler alert dude

Nah, watch it all. Some of it isn't great obviously but there are still some good moments. Robert California has grown on me over the years.

No. Its an overall mid show propped up by only a handful of genuinely funny episodes.

i actually like most of the last season. but could or take or leave anything after Michael leaves. California was good for some offbeat scenes but that's about it.

More than Michael leaving, the overelevation of Andy to main character because of Hangover was the bigger flaw.

Nellie is one of the worst characters in TV history. Andy Bernard isn't far behind.

Yeah, and what they had to do with Andy to get around his filming schedule. They made a lot of poor choices, But that's ok. Still a great show

The party at Robert California’s house is one of the better episodes overall. He killed me

Plus all the episodes in between really make the last episode mean so much more

Yes. Also, ignore the people who say don't watch the latter seasons. Does get zanier, but still worth watching.

I never minded Andy until the latter episodes, apres Micheal.

It's a show I love, but I can acknowledge that it takes a while to find its footing. And the final 2 seasons are poor. But I'm sure you'll end up watching it over and over like the rest of us. It's such a rewatchable show

I wish I could find it on one of the streaming channels without commercials. I tried starting it on Peacock but couldn't get past episode 2 because the amount of commercials is absolutely insane. It's literally something like 3 or 4 minutes of the program and 5 minutes of commercials, I just can't do it

They clearly don't teach how to use a toaster oven in business school

To OP: It is fantastic show and I've rewatched it probably a 100 times by now

The wife (no pics) and I were late to the party. Last year we watched the entire series.

The series took a little bit of a dive after Michael left, but it was still good.

Definitely worth devoting your time to.

The dinner party at Michael's townhouse is peak cringe.
