Contemplating NBCUniversal's streaming service has largely existed as a devoted The Workplace and Parks & Recreation rewatch software, this can be a fairly huge get.
The brand new sequence "options the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton department," however this time seems at a distinct business — on this case, journalism.
