The Paper portrays a struggling Toledo newspaper in a Greg Daniels mockumentary that feels outdated amid a streaming-saturated 2025 television landscape.
When NBC's adaptation of The Office first debuted in 2005, the series was panned for being a pale and uninspired imitation of its English predecessor. It took an entire season for showrunner Greg Daniels to figure out how to infuse his take on The Office with a quirky, satirical energy calibrated to appeal to American audiences. But once he did, the comedy became a ratings juggernaut for the network, which put Daniels in a position to tackle slightly more original projects.
