Blu-ray: The Office (U.S.): The Complete Series (2005-2013)I watched and enjoyed the original UK version of The Office when it first aired in 2001, and have rewatched both series and the Christmas special many times since then.I didn’t watch the U.S. version until many years after its premiere in 2005 (probably around 2015), as I […]
