"The Paper," a new spinoff from "The Office," is now streaming on Peacock. It follows the Toledo Truth Teller, a local newspaper often overlooked by its community.

    I wasn’t sure if this would succeed, but it seems to have been pretty well received. Anyone else recommend it?

      If you like The Office and Parks and Rec, and you’ve watched through each more than once, you’ll probably like The Paper.

      I finished the first season earlier today and overall it was good. I’m glad it’s renewed for a second season and I look forward to watching it probably a year from now.

      It’ll take time to grow, so look at it like you look at the first season of The Office or Parks and Rec where they hadn’t fully figured out certain characters and stories yet. I think The Paper does a better job, but probably isn’t as laugh out loud funny, yet.

      I think there is going to be a room split on a certain character, after watching the first episode you’ll know who I mean. I think that character improves as the season goes on and I think in the long run it’s going to work out, but I could see some people being turned off initially.

      It starts off a little slow but it definitely seems to find itself by the end of the season. If you liked the office or parks and rec youll probably enjoy this too.

        Oh man, I’ve loved everything I’ve seen Domhnall Gleeson in, so I gotta check this out. My favorite so far has been ‘About Time’ with Rachel McAdams, Ex-Machina was also very good.
