When the first trailer forThe OfficeAustralia dropped, yikes!
It did nothing to instill confidence in people to give this sitcom a chance.
Amazon Prime Video
So, imagine the surprise when the Prime Video series turned out to be, well, decent.
Apart from this main story beat,The OfficeAustralia also puts other work-related issues under the microscope.
Also, Gretas entire character arc isnt defined solely by her feelings for Nick.
Similarly, Lizzie takes up the mantle of the eccentric curmudgeon from Dwight Schrute.
That said, shes not quite a carbon copy of Dwight.
Oh, and she owns a pet crow named Russell let that joke sink in for a moment.
The standout character, though, is Martin (Josh Thomson), the HR representative.
All hail Martin, the modern-day hero!
She possesses zero redeemable qualities as she acts selfishly and toxically often affecting her own staff financially and personally.
Hannah, on the other hand, doesnt.
The same should happen to Hannah.
The character might have been written that way deliberately, but its off putting after the second episode.
Is it worth watching?
In fact, it has its laugh-out-loud moments.
