“The Office” is not just a regular sitcom, it is a phenomenon now, in the world of sitcoms “The Office” is the only one which got so many versions of it, and now we got “The Office Australia”.
Given the fact that, “The Office” US version got a really long run and it was well received by the audience, surpassing the original UK edition of the office.
But, now with “The Office Australia” the puzzles aren’t sitting in pieces, the key challenge for the Australian reboot was to bring something new to the table, but it seems like the makers didn’t even try to do that.
In this series they are doing the comedy that has already been done in 2015, and as much as critics try to point it out by saying that this is to give the series a sophisticated touch, it is downright bad comedy.
Another aspect is with the other reboots like US, Ireland and etc their comedy was gullible for the audience.
But Australian comedy is so foreign to the audience that half the time audiences are unaware of the jokes or the cultural references they are making.
The Australian season 1 presents Edith Poor as Lizze Moyle alongside her Felicity Ward, Steen Raskopoulos, Shari Sebbens, Josh Thomson, Jonny Brugh, Susan Ling Young, Lucy Schmidt, Zoe Terakes, Pallavi Sharda, Claude Jabbour and Jason Perini, in this new season.
However fans are not super excited about this Australian take, they are saying nobody asked for the Australian version, and the people gave the series a one star like magic.
But now it’s time to see whether fans adapt to the new change or not.
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, asked for / wants / needs / will watch an Australian version of "The Office". Please don't do this. Please stop. We're only now recovering from what Raygun did to us as a nation, do NOT inflict more misery. Please. I beg you.

As if we needed reviews to tell us the Australian reboot of The Office would be terrible? Low hanging fruit for wasted witticisms like this, "The cast do their best but look a bit dazed and glassy-eyed, like fish nearing their last breath." It's 2024, we deserve better sass.

If you want a funny Australian show about office life with a great cast of lovable and relatable bumbling idiots, why not simply watch Utopia?
