Sky viewers watch 'funniest show of the year' with scenes that'll leave you 'in stitches'

TV fans are rushing to watch the 'funniest show of the year' after a reviewer claimed to be left 'in stitches' by the series.

There's a lot of good television at the moment, from the 'greatest movie of the decade' to an incredible Western series now available to stream on Netflix.

So we'd be shocked to hear if you're struggling to find something to watch nowadays. But if you're after something that's a little light-hearted and easy to watch, especially after a long day of work, there's a new sitcom on Sky.

The Paper is an American mockumentary sitcom series created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman which is a follow-up and spin-off to the iconic hit show, The Office.

Starring Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore, the show premiered on Peacock on September 4, 2025, and now renewed for a second season. Now people are lucky to be able to stream it on Sky with weekly double-bills on Sky Max.

One reviewer, who goes by the name Eccy Reviews on TikTok and boasts 350,000 followers, recently discussed the series and labelled it the 'funniest of the year'.

Discussing in one of his latest videos, he said: "The absolutely hilarious and brand new show The Paper has now been released on Sky and this is easily the funniest show of the year, so let's talk about it.

"Domhnall Gleeson who I absolutely love as Ned Sampson is brilliant in this show, every single scene he has me in stitches and I actually couldn't fault this character.

"But Esmeralda who I wasn't even sure about ended up stealing the entire series and she was easily my favourite. I love her whole entire rivalry with Ned and I'm interested in what everyone else's thoughts are on Esmeralda."

He even went onto tell fans his favourite episode was 5 after the whole Catfish plot with Esmeralda and Ned.

"I was absolutely in stitches in so many scenes during this episode," he admitted.

"And we can't forget about the return of Oscar Martinez, it was so funny seeing him again, the whole thing of him not wanting to be in the show is brilliant."

In case you needed even more convincing, the reviewer added: "But season 1 of The Paper is absolutely brilliant.

"I love every single character, the banter works so well I love the little hints and romances and so much things we can see blossoming going into season 2.

"But I'm interested, let me know who your favourite character is, your favourite episodes and your entire thoughts."

His TikTok video garnered a lot of attention since it was shared with many people rushing to share their opinion too.

One said: "Such a good start to this show!" Another added: "So funny! Agreed."

According to IMDB, The Paper has a rating of 7/10 out of 3,700 votes.

Each episode lasts 30 minutes long and it focuses on a historic, but declining Midwestern newspaper trying to resurrect itself with volunteer reporters.
