Without completely derailing this thread I presume you do realize The Office began as a BBC program, correct?

and how did the show end? with the rejection of the relationship.

quote:

You still consistently miss what this show is fundamentally about,

no. i reject what you people proclaim "the show is about" because you refuse to accept the objective criticism of the show because you've already bought into the mythology/narrative of supporting the show

quote:

The characters aren't supposed to be perfect, they're not supposed to be likeable in a vacuum.

they go well beyond this. they are TERRIBLE. they are horrible people.

quote:

They're supposed to be relatable

how many people do you relate to in reality who are such horrible human beings?

quote:

and their path and resulting struggles to figure out who they are, what they want, and why people act the way they do is entertaining to many people because it's relatable.

it's over-dramatized and cliched

i've never met anyone who developed OCD randomly because their life got boring and God had writer's block

that shite happened last episode though

quote:

As many have said several posts ago, if you hate the show, and what it attempts to convey, this much I'm unsure why you continue watching.

to prove you all wrong and hopefully allow you to see your perception biases

Actually she already had the condition. Sometimes things like this come with triggers. Obviously the stress of the writing, and her situation with Adam leads to a trigger. That kind of shite does happen.

I watch the show because it entertains me, bottom line. I don't watch the show to conform to any social norms or media acclaim forcing the show upon me. If I was female you may have some sort of leg to stand on with such baseless statements.

Again, just your personal opinion.

And you don't have any "perception biases" at this point? At this point you're too invested, you have to continue to bash the show now regardless of how good it is/becomes. You can't change a position at this point. I/we can still decide to stop liking the show.
