      Not op but nope. Same with office as well.

      There are just some people that enjoy watching others be uncomfortable and I think it’s correlated with having less empathy.

      When I watched the office, I just felt bad for Michael.

      A lot of those shows just focus on punching down.

        Yeah I don’t like the office either, or parks and rec, arrested development, or any show that relies on being painfully uncomfortable.

        I liked the office overall, but the first season and a half was almost physically painful at times. They really toned down the schadenfreude at that point and pivoted Michael to being inept but lovable. The last season or so was all over the place.
