The Office

Just like the first season of the office "the american spin-off of the british series", this will get mixed reviews. I guess people don't like spin-offs.

It has the same vibes as the office. The same montage, same camera movement, ... I wasn't a big fan of the original show myself. I just didn't like how you have to wait for someone to look at the camera to know it is time laugh. But, i have seen some clips and edits here and there on tiktok and youtube and i get how the show works.

For me when first went to watch the first episode i knew i had to put on a special mindset to enjoy it, just like in watching friends or new girl or any if these kind of shows. Some people just expect to watch something like game of thrones, it's a SITCOM this is how it works.

I liked the jokes being original and not trying mimick another culture.

As i remember it's going to be 12 episodes long, so let's see how it will end up.

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.

As I started to watch the first episode I found myself looking for the actors from the American series "The Office" and trying to match who's who. As soon as I stopped this comparison I started to actually like this show. It's funny even though it's totally obvious how they're trying to copy jokes from the American version.

I would like to see more creativity and Saudiness.

An interesting point for me is relationships. Are they going to copy them too? They obviously can't show intimate scenes but the ideology of having an affair in the office in our standards is just out of the question. Can't wait to see what you're cooking for us!

Overall, it's a good attempt. You got a viewer!

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.

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.
