Some fans believe Season 9 is entirely skippable
In the TV world, coming up with a satisfying conclusion is a rarity. "Game of Thrones," "Killing Eve," and many more all severely let down their audiences with their respective farewells, despite their previously impressive showings season after season. According to many, "The Office" resides in this infamous club too, having disappointed viewers with its 9th and final season. To more than a few folks, you're better off avoiding it entirely if you can for a handful of reasons.
Reddit user matrowl (https://www.reddit.com/r/DunderMifflin/comments/so5zut/does_anyone_skip_season_9_because_they_cant_stand/) voiced their displeasure for "The Office" Season 9 in a thread dedicated to their dislike for Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) and Jim Halpert's (John Krasinski) constant fighting. "The conflict feels entirely plausible to me, which is what makes it so hard to watch," they wrote, and numerous other Redditors chimed in with their thoughts on Pam and Jim as well as Season 9 at large. For instance, chocjames43 (https://www.reddit.com/r/DunderMifflin/comments/so5zut/does_anyone_skip_season_9_because_they_cant_stand/hw73c78/) said the couple's scenes are prime time for cell phone scrolling, and spicy_nuggs (https://www.reddit.com/r/DunderMifflin/comments/so5zut/does_anyone_skip_season_9_because_they_cant_stand/hw6vwcz/) notes that they have a hard time getting through the last season compared to all others.
In an entirely separate thread, Redditor Osian253 (https://www.reddit.com/r/DunderMifflin/comments/ks1w3t/while_rewatching_the_office_does_anyone_just_skip/) asked the community if they skip Season 9 during their "Office" rewatches. Unsurprisingly, more than a few came out of the woodwork to share that they're of the same mind. "I absolutely skip season nine, I am pretty much season 1-7 and that's about it," commented wheel_house101 (https://www.reddit.com/r/DunderMifflin/comments/ks1w3t/while_rewatching_the_office_does_anyone_just_skip/giddwvl/), and Perca69 (https://www.reddit.com/r/DunderMifflin/comments/ks1w3t/while_rewatching_the_office_does_anyone_just_skip/giddan5/) adds they gloss over Season 1 and Season 9 except for the series finale. Others, such as Pastel_Mermaid_ (https://www.reddit.com/r/DunderMifflin/comments/ks1w3t/while_rewatching_the_office_does_anyone_just_skip/gidp62w/), mention that they give up once Michael Scott bids the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company adieu in Season 7.
"The Office" might not be perfect, nor for everyone, but it's overwhelmingly worth watching if you're into comedy TV. Although, clearly, no one would blame you for calling it quits after Season 8.
