Is "the Office" / "Parks and Rec" style of TV writing passe?

Hello! I have an idea that I think would fit really well into "the Office" camera candid style of storytelling, but I don't know if that style has become passe. It disappeared for a few years, but then bounced back with "Trial and Error." I personally like it, because I like getting the insight and it helps to move you more pointedly through the scene, but I'd be interested to get your thoughts.

Write it! Styles of TV go in and out, but if you have a great script that fits that concept, go for it. It'll find a home - especially with all of the digital platforms. Serve the story!

Thank you, Sarah! It feels like it's the most efficient and colorful way of telling the story. I'm sure I could find another, but I love the candid camera.
