I haven't seen US/UK version of office so can't empathise much with people who have seen it but judging this series as a standalone act, I can surely say this is a good attempt.
Of course one does get stuck on the same version of the story one has already heard , you know those people keep lamenting that Book is better than the movie etc, same is happening with this show.
But the characters in the show are very realistic and deep. Except for Jagdeep Chaddha who is bit delusional and immature all other characters are right on the spot. Some relationship one does seem to form with them overtime, specially the romantic buzz b/w Pammi and Amit.
So far I have seen around 6 episodes I can sense breathe of fresh air in each episode. The writing is right on the track and the humour isn't forced. This comes from the Office writers so is well taken care of.
Some jokes are bit of the place in Indian conservative context, seem to be lifted off directly from the US/UK version of office, that could have been avoided. Said that one can clearly see an attempt of 'Indianising' the series and has well succeeded in doing it.
Hope such more comedy shows are produced as there is dearth of such quality content in India. For now best of luck to JC and his team.
