Thanks to the release of Season 9’s “Superfan episodes,” The Office is currently the most-streamed show on Peacock in the US.

It’s a tough job making current events funny, and while the writers and actors didn’t fully succeed this week, they definitely made an effort.

Highlights included an agent complaining about the fast food and a clever exchange about the release of the Epstein files, used as a distraction from the current crisis.
