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: ‘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.
It does indeed look shit.
But…

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. 🤣
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.

To be fair, I still say that about the American version.
