The Office Season 2 is widely regarded as the season where the US version found its own identity, shifting away from its British origins to become a "truly brilliant" show. This season balances "cringe comedy" with deeper character development, making the staff of Dunder Mifflin feel like real people rather than caricatures. Season 2 Overview : 22 episodes.
