In this episode of The Really Very Crunchy Podcast, Jason and Emily share their review of the new Peacock TV show The Paper. As lifelong Office fans, they discuss how the series measures up, what works comedically, and where it fits in the current landscape of television. They also talk about the state of the sitcom in today’s world, how streaming has changed the way shows are made and watched, and why capturing the magic of a classic workplace comedy is so difficult.
