PLOT The documentary crew behind The Office begin to follow the employees of a new workplace: the ramshackle team running local Ohio newspaper The Toledo Truth Teller.
THE AMERICAN REMAKE of The Office was something of a miracle. Stateside reboots of UK shows rarely make it past the first season (see The IT Crowd, The Inbetweeners, Skins). The Office 2.0 not only ran for nine seasons but gained enough slow-burning popularity to now launch its own spin-off, sharing just a few threads of connective tissue and that same shaky, side-glance-to-the-camera mockumentary format.
