Reportedly still one of Netflix’s most watched shows, the American adaptation of the BBC comedy took on a life of its own, running for 9 seasons and becoming a global hit.
For many, Michael Scott’s departure in Season 7 marks the beginning of the end for The Office, however, according to IMDB users the quality of the show began to decline the season before.
Aired in 2010, Season 6 focused mainly on Jim and Pam's marriage, baby, and life changes, while Dunder Mifflin was bought out by Sabre. Season 6 also boasts the lowest rated episode in the show’s history. Episode 14, The Banker uses the much-maligned clip-show format and has a rating of just 6.8 out of 10.
The decline continued over the next few seasons and showrunners brought in a whole raft of guest stars including Jim Carrey, James Spader, Will Arnett, Catherine Tate, Ricky Gervais, and even Warren Buffett in an attempt to revive the show.
With a revolving door of characters coming in and out of the show, fans generally acknowledge that The Office took a downturn in later years before bringing back writers who worked on earlier seasons to end the show on an all-time high.
