I know it's not the deepest show but man it just hits different when you're tired and just want to zone out after kids go to bed. My wife made fun of me for watching it again but then she got hooked too. Now we're both rooting for Jim and Pam again like we don't know how it ends. 10/10 would recommend for dads who need background noise while they pretend to scroll their phone.
Third time is impressive. I'm on like my fifth or sixth run through. There's something about how episodic it is that makes it perfect for background watching when your brain is fried.
Dude, after the kids are down you deserve whatever comfort show gets you through. The Office is a solid choice for turning your brain off.
The Office is the perfect tired dad show. No judgment here, I've cycled through it more times than I'd like to admit. Your wife will understand eventually.
Same energy as rewatching Parks and Rec for me. The Office is just comfort food TV. No plot twists to keep up with, just Michael being Michael and somehow it still makes you laugh.

This is my go-to show when I'm trying to fall asleep. I know every joke already so my brain doesn't have to work hard. Jim and Pam's wedding arc is peak though.
