We already have a funny Australian version of The Office, it’s called Utopia.
Don’t try and beat Working Dog at Australian comedy.

Arguably a blend of Office and Yes, Minister.

It does indeed look shit.
But…
To be fair, we said that about the USA version of the office when that showed up. It turned into a cult hit after they ironed out the kinks a little.
As an office fan, I’m going to give this a chance mainly from the fact they took the idea and made it their own instead of cookie cutter copying the USA / UK version scene for scene like all the other variants. So for that fact they have sat down, put some effort in and written what could be some good comedy.
Counterpoint: American Kath and Kim.
I guess it could grow into something, but it feels like the a generic ABC “centrist” political boomer comedy written by Rob Sitch.

Counterpoint: ‘ABC “centrist” political boomer comedy written by Rob Sitch’ could also describe Utopia, and everyone here is (quite rightly) saying that’s an excellent show.

Yeah, it could well take them a few episodes or even a couple of seasons to mesh.
You guys let me know if/when it gets good. Ta. 🤣

The youtube comments are peak internet
and for anyone that was mildly interested in what an Australian office might look like, just watch Utopia

Comedy trailers are never funny so I’m not sure you can judge its quality based on this. Like a lot of comedy is situational within an episode and based on minutes worth of build up for a big payoff. But obviously you can’t show any of that in a conventional trailer so it will just be the one-liners which are always the worst bit of a comedy show and basically added to the script as trailer filler.
Having said all that, I’m not a fan of The Office or regional reboots so I’ll definitely pass.

I’ll be sure to double not watch it.
