No I think it's bang on.

The show is what you said, some clever witty writing, peppered with way too much "omg let's all squirm at how inappropriate this is and how close we get up to the line teehee"

It would be like a great comedian who writes the world's cleverest jokes then adds in a fart joke every second line. The whole thing is spoiled, I don't want to hear the fart jokes I don't need to, they're horrible. That is a simile for my experience watching the office.
