Tried watching The Office for the first time and just don't get the hype

My whole friend group made me sit down and watch it last Tuesday night. I made it through 8 episodes before I had to tap out. The whole Jim and Pam thing feels forced and Michael Scott just stresses me out instead of making me laugh. Does anyone else feel like they're missing something with this show or is it really just not for me?

Season 3 is where it finally clicked for me, around the time Dwight started his beet farm.

Picked up on that same thing actually. It's like when you're watching a show and suddenly a character's weird hobby or obsession just becomes this normal part of their life and you're completely on board with it. Happens with people too, I've noticed. You meet someone who's really into like bird watching or fixing up old lawnmowers and at first it seems odd but then you realize that's just who they are and it makes sense eventually. The beet farm thing was Dwight finally finding his groove, same way people in real life find their little corner of the world to be happy in.
