Matt Roush says...
Sharing the DNA and even the same fictional camera crew of NBC’s beloved The Office, a new mockumentary from Greg Daniels strikes a similar universal chord by introducing another workplace of amusing would-bes and never-wases at a struggling newspaper in Toledo, Ohio. In a still-rare case of a streaming series making its way to network TV, The Paper stars Domhnall Gleeson as Ned Sampson, the earnest and green new editor-in-chief of the near-death Toledo Truth Teller, who’s greeted upon arrival by being asked which paper he works for: “Paper or toilet?” (The newspaper, which once occupied its entire building, now shares a floor with a more profitable toilet paper company owned by the same paper conglomerate.) Ned finds a kindred spirit in the underemployed Mare (a sly Chelsea Frei) and an instant nemesis in the vainglorious Esmeralda Grant (Sabrina Impacciatore from The White Lotus), who resents the noble interloper. (See the full review.)
