The Office

I really enjoyed it very funny and my family also enjoyed it. We all laughed together. The jokes are original and smart. Wish they continue for season 2. The characters are in their right place. Most of the jokes are internal to the arabs or at leas the good ones. There is some new episodes or different narrative than the original and they try to not copy everything exactly. They add their own twist. Rather than playing basketball ball comparing to the US version, they play football. Give it 2 episode or 3 before it kicks in. Highly recommended either you are a fan of the US version or never seen it, its a good show.

To be honest i put ten just because of the haters it deserve at least six and half or seven its a really good effort they pulled the acting was real the script was good big step up from where we used to see directing as well was good the only thing i have to say its about the last episode it was an amazing one from the original so if you want to do it again your way do it big or don't do it i know the budget and all it's ok think of something else could be amazing and low in budget and make it more your own but yeah over all it's good great job wallah I feel like we are on the right track in the movies and tv shows sector.

Compared to other international versions of The Office, this version definitely comes second-best (the US one being the first).

Obviously, some people in the reviews don't understand the concept of "adapting" a series format and, as a result, missed the mark completely.

"Al Maktab" managed to perfectly utilize the visual style of The Office using the show's signature angles and editing. It also managed to capture the show's cringeworthy sense of humor using jokes and dialogue relevant to both modern times and Saudi office culture.

I say kudos to the whole team behind this very entertaining production, and I hope people are more supportive of such amazing Saudi talents.

Every line, every scene It's like a "Youtube" Sketch made for kids.. you can make so many jokes in "The Office vibes" but the writing and the cast is not good enough... made the scenes awkward in a cringy way not in a funny way.

I know "The Office" well. And I know what in their mind, they copied the characters not being the character.. the roles don't fit the people they picked.. I don't know if there was an audition for this show.. or just they were like "I know a guy who knows a guy"

"Albutairi" played his role well.. the director is good.. the lighting was perfect. The sound engineering is awful.

Watched it immediately as I'm a big the office fan. But couldn't watch more than 15 minutes!!!

I have no problems with doing spin-off but please add your own touch to reflect creativity and talent not copy every thing even the office decor which is not relevant to ours at all. Also adding characters to reflect our Saudi community is not enough, your jokes are absurd and some are out of line and I don't think they are common in Saudi workplaces.

There are more talented actors out there they could've picked.

Cringe to watch and disappointing. I was expecting more from a young talented people.

Please don't do season 2.
