As a cinephile who’s spent countless hours immersed in the world of The Office, I must admit, my initial excitement for this Australian remake was palpable. However, after watching the trailer and reading the fan reactions, I find myself feeling a bit like Dwight Schrute upon hearing about a new beet farm: cautiously optimistic, but with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Introducing the debut trailer for an Australian adaptation of The Office, featuring a female lead named Felicity Ward portraying Hannah Howard – a character analogous to Michael Scott. This new take on the classic workplace mockumentary sitcom brings it up-to-date with a contemporary twist, as it delves into the lives of employees at Finley Craddick, who are readjusting to working in the office after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Undeniably, The Office wouldn’t feel quite right without a dash of office mischief. Both the British and American editions had more than enough workplace misconduct to warrant termination for every employee at Wernham Hogg and Dunder Mifflin, but the Australian version is taking things to another level. Expect some unconventional antics such as bringing a pet crow to work, napping on the job, and delving into the depths of the dark web on office computers in the upcoming series.
Fans React to The Office Remake Trailer
Fans of “The Office” initially saw a glimpse of the Australian remake in August, and the online response was split. Some fans quickly criticized the idea due to its female lead character, while others chose to wait for a trailer before making a decision. Now that the trailer has come out, many fans across the board have voiced their dislike for the new series, with numerous negative comments appearing under the footage.
User 1 commented, “Dear Prime, there’s still time to scrap this,” while another pointed out the contrived humor in the preview, stating, “It seems like the actors are straining to be funny. The trailer lacks the authenticity of a documentary.” A third user recalled their initial skepticism about the first teaser image and noted that the trailer was even more disappointing than expected. They said, “I had my doubts about the first look, but the trailer is worse than I anticipated.
Initially, I anticipated it would be terrible based on what I’d read, but surprisingly, it turned out to be even more dismal than I had ever dreaded.
The trailer received a similar level of blunt criticism on social media, as numerous Australian users voiced their raw opinions following the official post by Prime Video AU/NZ. Looking back at the Paris Olympics, @suthodan expressed his displeasure saying, “Remove it right away. Following Raygun, we can’t afford this negative publicity.” Meanwhile, @joel3062000 simply remarked, “Oh dear, this looks terrible.
In a simple rephrasing, here’s how it could be stated:
