This video essay analyzes the morality of Jim Halpert in The Office (owned by NBC). The Office has so many great characters, yet Jim is often thought of as the "good guy" of the show. But if we look at Jim's behavior, from pursuing Pam when she was engaged, how he treats his girlfriends, how he bullies his coworkers and how he chases after promotions he doesn't deserve... he doesn't come across all that great. The series follows Jim's full career in the Office, and although he seems nice and relatable, when you step back, you start realizing how unacceptable a lot of Jim's behavior actually is. If you are a fan of Jim Halpert, watch this video to the end and see if you still think he's a good guy.
