The Office

As I started to watch the first episode I found myself looking for the actors from the American series "The Office" and trying to match who's who. As soon as I stopped this comparison I started to actually like this show. It's funny even though it's totally obvious how they're trying to copy jokes from the American version.

I would like to see more creativity and Saudiness.

An interesting point for me is relationships. Are they going to copy them too? They obviously can't show intimate scenes but the ideology of having an affair in the office in our standards is just out of the question. Can't wait to see what you're cooking for us!

Overall, it's a good attempt. You got a viewer!

It took me a few episodes to get attached to the characters but now I am really hoping that there will be a second season. I am curious about their future.

In my opinion it is not crazy funny but I find it nice and overall funny. It is sometimes cringe but I felt the same while watching some episodes of the US office. I have seen people complaining that is not consistent with the Saudi life. I am not an expert of this country so I am not disturbed by this fact, all the more that I find the show consistent with the behaviours I could observed in other Arabic countries that I am more familiar with.

To be honest i put ten just because of the haters it deserve at least six and half or seven its a really good effort they pulled the acting was real the script was good big step up from where we used to see directing as well was good the only thing i have to say its about the last episode it was an amazing one from the original so if you want to do it again your way do it big or don't do it i know the budget and all it's ok think of something else could be amazing and low in budget and make it more your own but yeah over all it's good great job wallah I feel like we are on the right track in the movies and tv shows sector.

First thing to do if you want to do a spin-off of the office is to put so much effort into finding a local talent to represent Michael Scott, and they failed miserably at that. The lead actor is robot-like, with not so-genuine reactions and body movements. He tried so hard to mimic Michael without fully understanding who Michael is, who he represents, or what he stands for. He carried so much pride into the role that he ended up being stupidly cringy and not real. Hey, my opinion might be harsh but I'm pretty sure I speak for lots and lots of viewers. If you want any hope of making this show trendy or gain any serious viewership, get rid of "Michael Scott".

I really enjoyed it very funny and my family also enjoyed it. We all laughed together. The jokes are original and smart. Wish they continue for season 2. The characters are in their right place. Most of the jokes are internal to the arabs or at leas the good ones. There is some new episodes or different narrative than the original and they try to not copy everything exactly. They add their own twist. Rather than playing basketball ball comparing to the US version, they play football. Give it 2 episode or 3 before it kicks in. Highly recommended either you are a fan of the US version or never seen it, its a good show.
