The Office Is Officially Getting A Spinoff, And The Premise Is All Too Relevant For The 2020s

Posted on 10/05/2024 by Boris Clair

The Office is officially getting a spinoff — and fans are already mighty polarised.

When producer Greg Daniels adapted the series from its beloved British original in 2005, he helped turn cast members Steve Carell, Mindy Kaling, John Krasinski and Craig Robinson into stars.

Daniels’ follow-up is still in its early stages, but fans are already wondering if he can do it again.

The spin-off, officially announced on Wednesday, will apparently introduce an all-new cast and take viewers far away from their favourite regional manager, Michael Scott, and the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. According to an official log line, however, one key aspect will remain the same.

“The documentary crew that immortalised Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters,” the synopsis reads, per Variety (It’s a premise that maybe reflects life in the 2020s a little too well, given all the challenges facing legacy news outlets and digital publications alike).

The American version of The Office chronicled the daily mundanities of life at a struggling paper company in Pennsylvania, as well the interpersonal and romantic relationships that emerged under the leadership of Michael Scott, the bumbling but (usually) endearing boss.

The show spanned nine seasons and concluded in 2013 with 42 Primetime Emmy nominations and five wins under its belt.

Shows like Parks And Recreation and Modern Family followed in its mockumentary footsteps, which were laid out by the original UK version, starring and co-created by Ricky Gervais. The British original also starred Lucy Davis, Martin Freeman, Mackenzie Crook, Ralph Ineson and scene-stealer Ewen MacIntosh, who died earlier this year.

Fans of the BBC series ― which aired from 2001 to 2002, with a handful of special follow-up instalments ― were wary when NBC announced its US remake.

However, the adaptation, as led by Steve Carell, gained a devoted following and proved its longevity, eventually breaking streaming records with 57.1 billion minutes of viewership in 2020.

Some users on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, are nonetheless skeptical about the new, as-yet untitled spinoff.

“Sounds to me like Greg Daniels’ production company had a pitch for a new sitcom set at a newspaper and were told ‘we’ll green light this show if it’s called The Office’,” one person wrote.

Another commented: “Sounds like a 1 season or 2 season cancellation.”

Talk of a remake began last year, and was met with a somewhat mixed reaction at the time.

Daniels has reportedly already cast Star Wars actor Domhnall Gleeson and White Lotus breakout star Sabrina Impacciatore ― both of whom are presumably aware of the risk that all their stuff might be suspended in Jell-O for the rest of their lives.

7 Hit Shows Based On Unbelievable True Stories To Check Out Once You’ve Finished Baby Reindeer

Posted on 04/05/2024 by Boris Clair

If you’ve finished watching Baby Reindeer, you’ll know by now that the new Netflix show is based on the shocking true story of a real-life stalking ordeal from creator and star Richard Gadd’s life.

The actor and writer mined his own personal history to retell the years-long ordeal he endured with a stalker, and you’d be surprised just how much of the show is actually true to life.

Those real elements are certainly a big reason why Baby Reindeer made for such compelling viewing, and there are plenty more shows out there you might not even know were based on true events.

Here are just a handful of them…

1. The Watcher

The Watcher began streaming on Netflix in 2022

The true story of The Watcher might actually be even more terrifying than what’s depicted in the TV show.

In the 2022 miniseries, which starred Bobby Cannavale, Naomi Watts and Jennifer Coolidge, a family move into a beautiful home in the New York suburbs, only for them to start receiving disturbing letters from someone who’s apparently watching their house.

The saga was first detailed in a 2018 feature in The Cut, which ended up forming the basis of the show. And in fact some of the most unsettling details of the TV adaptation all are totally true-to-life, including that the real person signed off their letters with “The Watcher”.

The Watcher is available to watch on Netflix.

2. This Is Going To Hurt

Ambika Mod and Ben Whishaw in This Is Going To Hurt

Much like Richard Gadd’s approach in Baby Reindeer (which began life as a one-man play before being turned into a TV show), Adam Kay turned to his own real life experiences to write his best-selling memoir, This is Going To Hurt: Secret Diaries Of A Junior Doctor.

As the name suggests, the book centres around Adam and his former colleagues’ experiences as junior doctors working on a busy obstetrics and gynaecology ward in an NHS hospital, and was adapted for a seven-episode TV series starring Bafta winner Ben Whishaw and One Day’s Ambika Mod in 2022.

The whole show was very much true to author Adam’s own accounts in the overworked and understaffed NHS, all while juggling his own personal life at the same time.

This Is Going To Hurt is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.

3. Inventing Anna

Alexis Floyd and Julia Garner in Inventing Anna

Inventing Anna is one of those stories that’s so wild, Hollywood simply had to jump on it.

The 2022 miniseries starring Julia Garner tells the scandalous true story of con-artist Anna Sorokin, who posed as a wealthy German heiress and managed to work her way into New York’s exclusive social scene.

She not only scammed rich socialites, but even conned banks and hotels. Anna served 18 months in prison before being taken back into custody by immigration forces and, as of late 2023, she was under house arrest. Her story was told in Rachel DeLoache Williams’ autobiographical book My Friend Anna: The True Story Of The Fake Heiress Who Conned Me And Half Of New York City.

Inventing Anna is available to watch on Netflix.

4. Narcos

While you’re probably already familiar with the story of notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar, he’s not the only real person in crime drama Narcos.

The two DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) officers who took down the drug kingpin – Steve Murphy (Boyd Holbrook) and Javier Pena (Pedro Pascal) are also depicted in the show, and were even brought in as consultants for the first two seasons.

When they were approached about bringing the story to Hollywood, their only stipulation was the show did not “in any way glorify Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel”, as they told The Hollywood Reporter. Like any stylised crime show, though, there are of course creative liberties.

Narcos is available to watch on Netflix.

5. Mindhunter

True crime has always attracted a somewhat morbid curiosity from viewers, precisely because the genre is rooted in truth.

Mindhunter, starring Jonathan Groff and Holt McCallany, goes a step further by retracing the advancement of the criminal profiling back in the 1970s that allowed FBI agents to get into the minds of murders.

The series revolves around the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit and a new research project, which sees agents interview imprisoned serial killers to understand their psychology better.

It’s not only inspired by John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker’s non-fiction book, Mindhunter: Inside The FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit, but it also references real murders and crimes that shocked the nation like cult leader Charles Manson, serial killer David Berkowitz (known as Son of Sam) and rapist and murderer Montie Rissell.

Mindhunter is available to watch on Netflix.

6. Dopesick

The opioid addiction crisis in the US has sparked numerous depictions in popular media, but Dopesick is one of the most famous.

While the characters in the show are fictionalised, the wider context is very much true. The show stars the likes of Michael Keaton, Peter Sarsgaard, Will Poulter and Rosario Dawson, and details the real Purdue Pharma’s misbranded marketing of the painkiller OxyContin, which led to the opioid crisis in America.

The series is based on Beth Macy’s book Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors And The Drug Company That Addicted America, although creator Danny Strong told NPR that there are also “composite” characters inspired by accounts of the real people affected.

Dopesick is available to watch on BBC iPlayer or Disney+.

7. Orange Is The New Black

Yes, really.

The groundbreaking and hugely popular Netflix show about a women’s prison is based on the memoir of Piper Kerman, who was sentenced to prison for aiding her ex-girlfriend’s drug-smuggling operation.

While Orange Is The New Black eventually departs from her true version of events and breaks off into its own plotlines, the real Piper once told NPR: “When you watch the show, you will see moments of my life leap off the screen.”

Orange Is The New Black is available to watch on Netflix.

Baby Reindeer’s Nava Mau Opens Up About Deleted Scene That Sheds More Light On 1 Key Aspect Of The Show

Posted on 30/04/2024 by Boris Clair

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Baby Reindeer.

Baby Reindeer star Nava Mau has reflected on a deleted scene that would have revealed more information about one of the show’s central relationships.

Nava plays the lead character Donny’s girlfriend, Teri, in the hit Netflix miniseries, which has sparked plenty of conversation since it began streaming earlier this month.

During a recent interview with GQ magazine, the actor was asked about how things end between Donny and Teri, and whether she felt the former couple managed to get closure after their break-up.

“There actually was one more piece of Teri and Donny’s relationship in the script, and I performed it,” Nava explained.

“Teri leaves Donny a voicemail five months later. So I think, for me, I got closure because Teri did too.”

She continued: “That’s what gave me so much comfort, knowing that they found peace with regards to their relationship. Teri got her happy ending, you know? Teri found a new man, she didn’t lose her friends, she didn’t lose her job, she didn’t lose her smile. She’s good.

“And I think that is remarkable, because so often we’ve seen stories of trans people that end with them broken.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Nava was asked about fans of the show who have been trying to work out the identities of real figures who inspired events in the show, which is based on Richard Gadd’s own experiences of being stalked.

“Richard has come out and asked people to stop trying to track down the real people who inspired the characters on the show, and I think for a very good reason,” she said.

“I think it is good to remind people that Richard really went through all of this – experiencing stalking and abuse from multiple people.

“It is very sensitive and there’s a reason why Richard had to seek protection from his stalker, so let’s not forget the stakes.”

Nava added: “I think for his safety, and also just out of respect for everyone, it makes sense to ask people to [stop].”

As well as Richard’s own calls for people to stop speculating about certain characters’ real-life counterparts, co-star Jessica Gunning has also spoken out.

Jessica said: “I would urge people not to be doing that. I think if that is happening, I think it’s a real, real shame, because it shows that they haven’t watched the show properly. That’s not the point of it in any way.”

18 Behind-The-Scenes Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About The Making Of Baby Reindeer

Posted on 28/04/2024 by Boris Clair

Baby Reindeer has quickly become the biggest word-of-mouth TV hit of the year so far, and it’s not hard to see why.

The Netflix miniseries depicts the complicated true story of creator Richard Gadd’s years-long ordeal with a female stalker.

He wrote and stars in the series as Donny alongside Jessica Gunning, who has won huge acclaim for her nuanced performance as stalker Martha.

Fans of the show have been shocked to discover just how much of the series is steeped in truth, but there are plenty more behind-the-scenes facts that make Baby Reindeer an even more incredible watch…

First of all, yes, Baby Reindeer is all based on a true story

Undoubtedly one of the most shocking things about Baby Reindeer is that it’s all based on a real life stalking ordeal creator Richard Gadd endured for around four-and-a-half years of his life.

Everything from Donny and Martha’s first meeting in the pub, her relentless texts and emails, and the darker chapters – including his sexual assault – are based on truth.

You can dive into all the true details behind the show in more detail here.

And those texts and email? They’re all real, too

Among the most disturbing details about the show is that all the emails Donny receives in the show are verbatim copies of the real correspondence.

Richard received a total of 40,000 emails, 740 social media posts and 350 hours’ worth of voicemails from his real stalker, and each email in the show is chillingly depicted word for word.

However, it’s important to note that not everything depicted in Baby Reindeer is a ‘carbon copy’ of real life

While many details of the show are true to Richard Gadd’s own experiences, the writer has insisted that the show is not an exact recreation of people and events exactly as they happened.

“A lot of it is very true, and all of it is emotionally true,” he told Gay Times. “Obviously, we can’t carbon copy people and identities, for various artistic and legal reasons. But, it is certainly based in emotional truth and lots of the action you see in it happened for real.”

In particular, Richard Gadd wanted to ensure the identity of his real stalker was protected

The subject of Richard’s real life stalker has inevitably intrigued fans after watching the show – to the point where he’s even pleaded with viewers not to speculate online.

He previously insisted that measures were taken to ensure her identity remained unknown.

“I honestly couldn’t speak as to whether she would watch it,” he told GQ. “Her reactions to things varied so much that I almost couldn’t predict how she’d react to anything. She was quite an idiosyncratic person.

“We’ve gone to such great lengths to disguise her to the point that I don’t think she would recognise herself. What’s been borrowed is an emotional truth, not a fact-by-fact profile of someone.”

Before viewers were binge-watching Baby Reindeer on Netflix, Richard was performing a stage version of his story in a one-man Edinburgh Festival Fringe show in 2019.

In that version, Martha was represented by an empty bar stool.

“It was me and a stool — Martha was a stool and I carried the stool around stage and I’d move her into different positions,” Richard told Variety.

“So to bring it from a 70-minute monologue into seven episodes, multiple characters, different strands and plot lines, it was a massive undertaking and a load of pressure.”

It later transferred to the West End and even won an Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement In Affiliate Theatre.

Richard’s early stand-up comedy really was as bad as his on-screen counter-part’s

Donny’s comedy routines in Baby Reindeer are… interesting, to say the least. Decked out in elaborate costumes and a suitcase of wacky props, the actor’s struggling comedy career forms the backdrop of the show.

It turns out that his old stand-up performances really did resemble what we see in the screen. In an interview with the Guardian, he recalled the strange “juxtaposition” of his “tormenting” personal life, with his more mad-cap stage performances.

He added that, while audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe “love weird stuff”, those routines wouldn’t go down so well on the regular comedy circuit.

“I’d perform on the comedy circuit 11 months out of the year, to silence, because people expect more stuff that they see on TV,” he explained.

“Especially if they pay a high ticket price, they want to see dependable, seasoned, veteran comedians, and there’s this guy who’s taping ears to his nose, and they’re thinking: ‘This isn’t what I paid for.’”

Speaking in a video feature for Netflix, he elaborated that “the stand-up in the earlier years was terrible”, adding that he was trying to do “a weird brand” of “anti-comedy”.

Netflix says: “A grifter is drawn into a world of wealth and privilege after taking a unique job in Italy. But to seize the life he wants, he must build a web of lies.”

Tell me more: Undoubtedly one of Netflix’s most eagerly-awaited originals of this year (especially here in the UK), Scoop dives into the story behind Prince Andrew’s infamous 2019 interview on Newsnight, exploring both the events leading up to the jaw-dropping broadcast, as well as its aftermath.

Netflix says: “Inspired by real events, Scoop is the inside account of the tenacious journalism that landed an earth-shattering interview – Prince Andrew’s infamous BBC Newsnight appearance.

“From the tension of producer Sam McAlister’s high stakes negotiations with Buckingham Palace, all the way to Emily Maitlis’ jaw dropping, forensic showdown with the Prince, Scoop takes us inside the story, with the women who would stop at nothing to get it. To get an interview this big, you have to be bold.”

Tell me more: A new documentary, The Antisocial Network looks into the online culture that led to the rise of QAnon conspiracy theories and, eventually, the 6 January storming of the Capitol building following his defeat in the 2020 US election.

Netflix says: “From the rise of QAnon to the 6 January riots, The Antisocial Network explains how a group of bored teenagers built an online community out of their shared loneliness but accidentally shattered consensus reality in the process.”

Tell me more: Inspired by unbelievable true events, this chilling miniseries focusses on a struggling comedian whose world is turned upside down when a woman begins stalking him.

Netflix says: “When a struggling comedian shows one act of kindness to a vulnerable woman, it sparks a suffocating obsession which threatens to wreck both their lives.

“Based on the award-winning and hit Edinburgh Fringe one-man play, Baby Reindeer follows struggling comedian Donny Dunn’s warped relationship with his female stalker and the impact it has on him as he is ultimately forced to face a deeply buried trauma.”

Tell me more: The second season of this Australian teen drama is almost upon us, diving into all of the salacious goings on at the fictional Hartley High.

Netflix says: “All our heroes are back for Term Two at the ‘lowest ranking school in the district’. But fresh hotties, a new sports teacher and a mystery assailant, throw any hopes for a peaceful term into disarray, while the race for school captain is seeing dirty tactics run rife through Hartley High.

“Yep… It’s Term 2 bitches, and it’s more chaotic than ever.”

They also had a much younger sister, the innocent and curious Charlotte, who they loved very much. One day, while the brothers were telling Charlotte a fairy tale like usual, they saw that she had a somewhat melancholy look on her face. She asked them, \"Do you suppose they really lived happily ever after?\"\n\nThe pages of Grimms’ Fairy Tales, written by Jacob and Wilhelm, are now presented from the unique perspective of Charlotte, who sees the stories quite differently from her brothers.\n\nWatch on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/81050091\n\nSubscribe: https://bit.ly/33okaL0\n\nAbout Netflix:\nNetflix is one of the world’s leading entertainment services with over 260 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages.

Tell me more: Whether you’re a fan of Japanese anime or just twisted fairytales, this reimagining of the classic Grimm children’s stories is a must-watch.

Netflix says: “Once upon a time, brothers Jacob and Wilhelm collected fairy tales from across the land and made them into a book. They also had a much younger sister, the innocent and curious Charlotte, who they loved very much.

“One day, while the brothers were telling Charlotte a fairy tale like usual, they saw that she had a somewhat melancholy look on her face. She asked them, ‘Do you suppose they really lived happily ever after?’.

“The pages of Grimms’ Fairy Tales, written by Jacob and Wilhelm, are now presented from the unique perspective of Charlotte, who sees the stories quite differently from her brothers.”

Tell me more: A quick glance at Letterboxd and Rotten Tomatoes suggests the first instalment of Justice League director Zack Snyder’s “space opera” Rebel Moon was a little on the divisive side. Still, for those who did enjoy the first instalment, part two looks to be just as action-packed.

Netflix says: “Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver continues the epic saga of Kora and the surviving warriors as they prepare to sacrifice everything, fighting alongside the brave people of Veldt, to defend a once peaceful village, a newfound homeland for those who have lost their own in the fight against the Motherworld.

“On the eve of their battle the warriors must face the truths of their own pasts, each revealing why they fight. As the full force of the Realm bears down on the burgeoning rebellion, unbreakable bonds are forged, heroes emerge, and legends are made.”

Tell me more: One of a handful of new comedy specials coming to Netflix in April, Autistic Bikini Queen sees Scottish comic Fern Brady putting her spin on all kinds of heavy themes in her own inimitable style.

Netflix says: “Known for being totally unique and completely fearless, her caustic wit, exceptional writing and electric stagecraft have made Fern one of the UK’s hottest comedy stars. In this special, she’ll be tackling big issues such as death, shagging, marriage and ageing.

“In her typically honest and authentic way Fern is never scared to speak her mind. This show is the culmination of nearly two years of rumination.”

Easter Films Guide 2024: What To Watch On TV Over The Long Bank Holiday Weekend

Posted on 29/03/2024 by Boris Clair

The four-day Easter weekend is a high-point of the year, allowing us to get out in the world, catch up with friends we haven’t seen in a while or maybe even take a little trip to make the most out of all that time off.

For some of us, that is. For others, it’s the chance to catch up on some much-needed rest, spending all that extra time in the most low-key way possible.

If you fall into the latter camp, it’s understandable that you might find yourself at a bit of a loose end when it comes to passing the time. Or, of course, it could be that you have children to keep occupied for that loooong Bank Holiday weekend.

Either way, it could come as a relief to hear that there are plenty of classic films worth tuning in for on TV between Good Friday and Easter Monday. Here are 20 of our personal highlights…
