Not the worst thing on TV, but mediocre
Office Australia will face the same problems Inbetweeners US faced; it wasn't a terrible show, but it was nothing in comparison to the original and that sours the remake.
Office Aus has an even bigger problem, there's many different versions, most notably the original UK and then US ones. The characters are likeable, but mirror their mannerisms too closely with their UK/US counterparts. The show does add some originality with updated storylines that will resonate with a younger audience - or anyone who has worked in an office after Covid.
I feel the same writers, crew and cast could have created a watchable original show, it's a shame they went down this path instead.
I won't be leaping to watch Episode 2.
