I think with Gervais' guidance, they might be able to pull it off. I guess we'll see.

“I’m very excited about Australia remaking my little show from the turn of the century,” Gervais told Variety. “Office politics have changed a bit in 20 years, so can’t wait to see how they navigate a modern-day David Brent.”

Didn't they already try that with the Nellie character? We all saw how that went...

It's what they started to do with Leslie Knope but decided to make her competent.

And its Australian, so half the office staff will be locked up in Covid camps.

Where does it say Ricky Gervais is going to do anything beyond cashing a check? I bet he is excited to make more money though. Sounds terrible.

this is a big nothing. It'll be an Australian version just like they've done in Israel, India, etc. There's at least 10 or more versions of The Office out there. A lot of offices/businesses are run by women.

show would be over before the intro finished

No way they end up making the female boss incompetent. Feminists will cancel them if the female boss isn’t a star making women look good in management
