After watching the first six episodes of the American version of "The Office," I find Steve Carell's character so squirm-inducing that it's an unnecessary drag on the show's rhythm. What makes it worth watching are the characters of Jim and Pam, played, respectively, by James Krasinski and Jenna Fischer.
Their mannerisms are perfectly reserved. Instead of incessantly complaining about daily working life, as so many do, they realize the inherent absurdities of office culture and decide, "Why not have fun with it?" I can't wait until they kiss. Each time Jim leans over Pam's desk to whisper gleefully about a prank or joke, it seems like he wants to explode across, grab her face and lock lips. When they actually do it, it will almost be like this this deep timbre of emotion, all trumpets and woodwinds and beautiful. Their love for each other on the show is so real it's hard to believe it's only a fictitious love and that off the set they don't feel the same.
