‘The Paper’ Season 2 review: Domhnall Gleeson and friends bring earnest charisma to the Toledo Truth Teller’s latest exploits
Season 2 of 'The Paper' continues to follow the staff of the Toledo Truth Teller as they navigate workplace relationships and professional challenges while sharing office space with a toilet paper company. The series is praised for its earnest charm and character-driven humor, offering a comforting viewing experience.
Why it matters
As a spinoff of 'The Office', the show represents the ongoing trend of expanding successful television franchises into new streaming content to maintain audience engagement.
At the end of Season 1 of The Office spinoff, The Paper , the Toledo Truth Teller had won three awards and Ned (Domhnall Gleeson) the editor, and Mare (Chelsea Frei), the star reporter, had admitted their feelings for each other, though Ned was worried about the future.
The newspaper shares office space and volunteer journalists with Softees, a toilet paper brand, that sells much more than the Toledo Truth Teller . Season 2 opens with Ned hoping to ask the CEO, Marv (Allan Havey) for money to run the paper as it has won awards, something it has not done since the 1970s.
