The Office Australia review an edgeless reboot doomed for the shredder
Briefly

The Australian remake of The Office struggles to bring fresh elements to the already worn-out mockumentary format, despite the notable introduction of a female lead.
The inclusion of Felicity Ward as the female lead Hannah Howard adds a degree of novelty, but the jokes fall flat and lack innovation.
The pilot episode attempts topicality with Hannah Howard's management strategies, but the execution of humor remains disappointingly stale and predictable.
Despite some fresh casting, the revival fails to reignite interest, as viewers encounter fatigue from the mockumentary style that has become too familiar.
