The Office

Big fan of both the US and UK office. I'm also an Aussie.

This show is one of the blandest things I've sat and watched. I decided to watch it because while it looked bad, I thought let's see.

People say it gets better after the first episode, but it did not for me. It remained very bland. Maybe some of these people ended up with Stockholm syndrome, it held their sense of humour hostage for so long that they felt they needed to laugh and so they did.

The worst part is that I can see some potential in the series. It's not just a rehash of either of the previously mentioned offices (even though it does have so references in a few of the "jokes,") The characters while underbaked do have some individuality. I also did like the threesome joke even if it was completely ruined by the delivery in the scene.

I guess at the end of the day, could this show have been good? Sure. Is it? No.

Watching the first episode of The Office Australia reboot was like attending a meeting where everyone forgot the agenda and the jokes. The cringe factor soared higher than Dwight's stapler in Jell-O! Every scene felt as dry as a PowerPoint presentation, leaving me desperately craving some genuine laughs. I got so bored that I rewatched Raygun with her breakdance routine. Suddenly, my day got 100 times better. Made me wish if Amazon should have asked her for 8 different routines and put one up as each episode. If you're looking for comedy, you might be better off watching paint dry... or just cheering for Raygun's next dance battle. 3/10.

Based on the reviews, I started watching this expecting it to be terrible. I have watched both versions of the office, there are good and bad episodes in those versions (especially at the beginning). Honestly the Australian version is good! Set your expectations aside and give it a go. It's not the US Office or the UK Office, it's the Australian Office. They give it their own Aussie spin, with some familiar tropes certainly, but it works! There are some genuinely funny lines and it's extremely watchable! The jokes aren't recycled, they're new and hilarious. Ignore the neckbeard reviewers. This show is light and funny, that's all it needs to be.

Painful to watch, I need a refund and I didn't even spend any money to watch it. So bad I had to make an account just to review this show.

There is nothing new, original or funny about this show. The "jokes" are typical of Facebook mums. They love to punch below themselves and fill every second with the most unimaginative jokes possible. Pure leftist propaganda that is trying way to hard to be socially acceptable making it the most bland bit of media I have ever witnessed. It is more dry and lifeless than anything I have ever experienced in my entire life. Somehow they copied the original and left out every single part of the UK and US version that gave them any identity, life or realism.

It's as though they watched the American version and thought geez let's do less.

Had some funny ideas and some of the characters were amazing but overall I only watched it hoping would grow on me . And I was at work. And it was very quiet. And I was bored. And I think I had a micro nap many times

On a side note who on earth chose felicity ward to be the lead?

There will probably be a season 2 and if so need to add less copy and paste and more original ideas please.

Did I mention that felicity ward not a great choice?

I will admit Dwight version in this very well done and the warehouse Stevie character well done.
