This US adaptation, set at a paper company in Scranton, Pa.

, has a similar
documentary style to that of the Ricky Gervais-led British original. It features
the staff of Dunder-Mifflin, a staff that includes characters based on characters
from the British show (and, quite possibly, people you work with in your office).
There's Jim, the likable employee who's a bit of an everyman. Jim has a thing for
receptionist-turned-sales rep Pam (because office romances are always a good idea).
There's also Dwight, the successful co-worker who lacks social skills and common
sense. And there's Ryan, who has held many jobs at the company.
