Shows on IMDb tend to be overrated compared to movies. There are many TV shows with 8+ ratings that would have a 6 rating if they were movies. I'm not sure why.
This is a very cheap Australian show about a government department responsible for building projects. 95% of it is filmed in a small office. Largely it's in smaller offices with people sitting around and talking in various meetings. It does feel bareboned. Between the scenes they show like 10 shots of Australia which just makes it look that much cheaper. So overall it's actually just a collection of skits. The characters don't matter much. There is no great character growth or development. They are just joke machines. The pacing is extreme. The camera and clips jump everywhere and it feels rushed and jumbled. That's the worst part. It's just very badly filmed and edited as it's so cheap. You'll get a bit dizzy watching this plus it doesn't look good.
The jokes are actually often funny. You miss a ton of statements because they rush that much. But some jokes in each episode land and I did actually laugh in some episodes which was a surprise as most comedies are silly yet not funny. Overall it's not really a show with characters so I don't feel invited inside. It's also very impersonal. I do wish they had slowed down and showed some emotional scenes, romance, dating, conflicts, anger. Instead it's meetings with just a bunch of office people with no personal goals.
The episodes are just single storylines. As the characters are not going anywhere you can just watch any episodes you like in any order. I won't really be watching anymore. But the concept is pretty amazing. If they fixed the budget, editing, characters and pacing this would be awesome. As of now I don't really feel a great pull to watch it unless I want a cheap laugh. But you can get a cheap laugh in shows with season storylines too. The characters just come and go. It's a shame because I really wanted to experience the show, but it's just skits. When someone loses you know it has zero consequences.
