Featured review
Stop using Steve Carell as an excuse
Michael Scott leaving was sad but there was enough to keep thing going easily for another 5-10 seasons, however the casting, writing and editing was so damn lazy and bad that it killed this show. If a semi decent manager was found your telling me this show couldn't have worked? SC was great but not irreplaceable.
Firstly the editing was bad, 3 instances spring to mind, the pumpkin visibly had room for dwights head, when Pam taught CT how to drive and said stop when they're already in the bush, then Kevin's thumb visibly pushing the ice cream off, not big deals but the type of sloppy bs that ruined 8/9 to the point it's on par with the scrubs series no one acknowledges.
Then the focus on the biggest idiot Andy solely for what? Hangover fame? The guy can't act, as shown in this episode, he is just a cartoon, he has nothing human to offer, same with that moron Kevin, from the voice, to eye movement to tongue out it was almost offensive like mocking special needs.
I mean the worst though was the endless screen time give to Ellie kemper even hiring her sister it's just nepotism, she's clearly got a bit of humour and can act but she should be ashamed of her character of Erin, she's written to be pathetic and stupid, from the watermelon teeth, to not going with Andy as he didn't ask(like you wouldn't discuss it) to the obvious set up with the new guy at the end, so the big build of a love story was just two idiotic cartoon characters wasting our time. I can't explain how much her endless OTT mannerisms and swapping from sensible confident talker who is nice but maybe a bit dim, to a complete moron who does and says stupid things that sound wrong, I wanted to slap her through the TV, idiotic character, terribly written and if it seems unnatural a human being like that maybe you should tone it down...
I was so glad BJ left, he was abysmal, Mindy should've been a bigger character and stayed, Dwight is the star and actually think CT worked on the floor! Just wasn't management material.
This episode barely even made sense, was just forced for more idiotic Andy and Erin time I mean that ginger guy on the boat??? What was he doing! Did he buy it? How dya not know someone escaped from therapy or rehab.. rubbish writing which this show never suffered from, but writing for IDIOT characters equals IDIOTIC plots and episodes.
I mean the casting and writing of Erin,Andy,Packer,Ryan,California,Nellie,gabe,mini Dwight and Jim,Kevin are actually awful, there's no real saving graces except the odd line Ryan said was funny, on the whole these characters sucked!!
As much as I loved series 1-7 and love Parks and Rec to, it wasn't SC leaving that ended the office it was the lazy writing, terrible casting and just a sense of giving up.
Jim's business could introduce some decent new characters. The warehouse could have a bigger part, a rival shop in the building, so many avenues just closed off for the sake of idiocy.
How Ed helms and David korchner have careers baffle me, I get Ellie but she's ridiculously annoying and a very acquired taste
