The Office US & UK are 2 of my all time favourite comedies. Utopia (otherwise known as Dreamland) might be the closest we get to an Australian version of the Office. It has the same engaging ensemble mockumentary style. As well as being a satire of office work it also sends up government bureaucracy & politics. The episodes involving HR in particular are excellent. After you watch a few though, the jokes, plots & characters can become repetitive. Most of the characters are perky, dopey, in component and focused on trivial things, like the food at meetings, with the exception of the long suffering managers, Tony & Nat. It's a shame the supporting characters aren't more varied & distinct. Big flashy politically motivated ideas are pushed on the NBA office by Jim & Rhonda, but never progress is the recurring story. A good but not great Australian version of the Office.
