When it came time to end it in 2013, The Office demanded an equally outsized finale. That finale was actually an epilogue, catching up with the characters a year after the premiere of the documentary that’s been filming them over the course of the series. As they discuss how their lives became a TV show, while offering the kind of fairy-tale endings we're used to seeing on television, The Office becomes a meta-commentary on itself—contemplating its larger purpose, and subtly urging us to think about how we might re-evaluate our own lives if we saw them reflected back to us on a TV screen. Here’s our Take on how The Office’s once-dry, subversive satire of the workplace evolved into a broader, more heartfelt sitcom, and the deeper message we might take from its sentimental ending.
