Meanwhile, Tim Canterbury (Martin Freeman), who can only maintain his sanity by teasing the priggish Gareth Keenan (Mackenzie Crook), continues to wrestle with his yearning for receptionist Dawn Tinsley (Lucy Davis), a sympathetic character persisting in a relationship with a man about whom she still maintains unspoken reservations. As ever, it's the awkward, reality TV-style pauses and silences, the furtive, meaningful and unmet glances across the emotional gulf of the open-plan office, that say it all here. As for Brent, his own breakdown is prefaced by a moment of hideous hilarity--an impromptu office dance, a mixture of "Flashdance and MC Hammer" as Brent describes it, but in reality bad beyond description. Then, when his fate is sealed, he at last reveals himself in a memorable finale to perhaps the greatest British sitcom, besides Fawlty Towers, ever made. All this and Keith too. --David Stubbs

Customer Reviews of The Office - The Complete Second Series
What a way to go out It is true that season two of THE OFFICE may have been less funny than the first, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't entertaining...because it was. The six episodes of that season are funny, moving and sometimes painful to watch. If it was true that the creators (Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant) felt that it was time to end the series, then what a way to go. And I won't give away the ending of the series, but it is simply heart-breaking (and unlike any ending you would see on any American sitcom). It could very well be the best British comedy since MONTY PYTHON or even FAWLTY TOWERS. Long live THE OFFICE!
What about special features?
Ok so a few people didn't find the series 2 funny, but most people agree it is still hilarious, just not as "fresh" or revolutionary as the series 1 was.
But how come nobody is mentioning the complete lack of substantial "extras" in this DVD? What we get in this DVD is a few minutes of deleted scenes (understandable), but the "Video Diary" was horrible, and half of it was just Ricky Gervais being a complete baffoon while "working" on the second series. Did they really say everything they wanted to say about The Office in the "Making of" extra in the first series DVD? I find that hard to believe, sounds like it was just them being lazy and pushing this DVD out before it was ready.
Aside from the Christmas specials... this is it, series 1 & 2 are ALL WE HAVE. It's disappointing that they couldn't have added more.
And what is up with certain things being censored on the episodes (screensaver pixelated, piece of paper on outtakes blocked out)? This is the stuff we want to see!
Sublime...
I first caught this show when I was working over in London and have been stuck on it ever since. How trajic that we will only get two seasons of what is undeniably a masterpiece. I'm buying both seasons and putting them up on the mantle alongside the other comedies I own that are two sublime for words ("Office Space", "Airplane!", "Shafted!", Bottle Rocket", "The jerk" and pretty much the entirety of Monty Python material available on disk...
