Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for The Paper Season 1. It's been said that all good things must come to an end, and nowhere is that more true than with Dunder Mifflin after The Office ended twelve years ago. Given its own status as a sequel, The Paper naturally follows up on where the old company left off, and the results are sad to see. We only spend a few minutes inside what little is left of the Scranton branch, but it feels almost foreign to look at, and its quiet decline reflects the real changes both small towns and the workplace have experienced over twenty years. Thematically, it's also a way to grieve before the new series actually begins , reminding us how nothing will be the same again, even as the world quickly changes into something different.
