Summary

The office staff goes to extremes when they participate in a weight loss contest run by corporate.

Our Take

A strong season opener that splits time between the weight loss competition and some big relationship shifts. The crash dieting jokes land well, especially Kelly’s storyline, though a few gags run longer than they should. It’s a funny, slightly scattered hour that sets up plenty for the season ahead. Worth watching, even if the cold open alone earns half the rating.
