If The Office is about the quagmire of misfit quirks that beleaguer a highly dysfunctional Pennsylvania paper office, then you can probably follow the same sort of logic to guess what The Paper is about. Existing in the same stylized comedic universe as its iconic NBC predecessor, The Paper follows the silly trials and turmoils of a goofball office staff in a different “paper” business — the newspaper business, to be exact.
The Office wrung tons of hilarity from its single-camera comedy perspective — and with its faux-documentary format, The Paper will arrive with its own signature point-of-view spin. Peacock’s new series “features the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch,” the NBCUniversal streamer teases. “The crew is in search of a new subject when they discover a historic Toledo newspaper, The Truth Teller, and the eager publisher that is trying to revive it.”
