The Office: Goodbye, Michael

Posted by: Lawrence Lee  •  April 30, 2011 @ 9:58pm

This episode had an excellent script, which really set it apart from the rest of the episodes of the last two years.

Posted by: Lawrence Lee  •  February 21, 2011 @ 12:17am

The Client was one of the best episodes of The Office in accurately and fully representing Michael for who he is.
