The trailer for the highly anticipated Australian version of The Office is here and we have thoughts. So many thoughts, it warranted an article.
Felicity Ward stars as the clearly Michael Scott -inspired boss Hannah, whose Dwight Schrute is found in Edith Poor as Lizze.A casual 23 years after the first iteration of the mockumentary series The Office premiered in the UK, we finally have an Australian version.Everyone knows about the US version starring Steve Carrell as Michael Scott , which arguably eclipsed the original Ricky-Gervais-led series in terms of popularity.
I'm just worried this will end up as a half-baked Utopia rather than a meaningful contribution to the lore of a franchise that probably doesn't need any more rebooting.This is something earlier versions of The Office didn't give us so much of, simply because we didn't have a name for "girlbosses" back then.The kind who insists: "My back hurts from carrying all my sisters," when in reality they do little for women.
It's a day when families gather around the television at home, clutching onto scraps of paper with the names of competing horses on them, hand-made fascinators and hats perched on their heads. It's a day of I think the talented cast could sell this, but honestly? Whatever goodwill I can muster gets shaken loose by the thought of my own remake of a post by infamous Twitterer @dril: "Turning a big dial that says 'Australian Remake' on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right.
The characters are familiar, as is that particular shade of beige the walls are painted, along with the rest of the set dressing.
