Last Tuesday (17) Amazon released the first trailer for the new series of The Office. But no, it is not a revival of the North American version, with Michael Scott (Steve Carell), Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) and Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson).

This is the Australian adaptation, which will have a woman playing the most clueless boss ever seen for the first time. With an entirely new cast, the production promises to maintain the same approach as previous adaptations: the embarrassment of others and the classic awkward moments.

On the internet, however, the reception of the new trailer has not been the best, with several people accusing the series of being cringe for the wrong reasons. “It surprised me, I thought it would be bad, but it's worse than I imagined!”, said one user in the comments of the trailer on YouTube. “What can I say about this new series that I have only known for so little time and already really dislike?”, responded another.

The backlash was to be expected, considering the US version of The Office is a favorite among comedy fans.

The Office in the United States is the most famous version of the series (although it is not the original)

What many people don't know, however, is that the version with Michael Scott is just one of 13 already made of the series. And, although no one has asked for another adaptation in 2024, no one had asked for one in 2005 either, when the North American adaptation was released.

Hope is the last to die

By now, it's no secret that Hollywood often makes its own version of successful foreign series and films around the world. That's more or less what happened with the series starring Steve Carell, released just four years after the British version aired.

The great triumph of the American version, however, is that the series has taken on a life of its own over the years, and has not merely copied the original.

The first season, for example, relied heavily on British humor – which didn’t seem like something organic for a US production. Luckily, the writers decided to leave this approach aside and invest in their own personality in the seasons that followed.

The result is quite clear: The Office in the United States was a success and remains very much alive in the hearts of the public to this day.

The hope now is that the Australians can bring the classic humor of The Office, but with their own authentic identity. If the opposite happens, it will be difficult for the public to succeed.

As a fan of the series, I hope the Australian version is as good as Michael Scott's – and I'll admit that I'm curious to see a female version of the most beloved boss in the world of television. Now, we'll just have to watch it to find out.

The Office (Australia) premieres October 10 on Prime Video.

This amount, however, can be reduced and there is a chance of appeal.

Investigation has been ongoing for years

The investigation began back in 2019, when the EU first made allegations that Facebook was abusing its connection with Marketplace to “impose unfair trading conditions” e “use competitor data in the field of buying and selling services via online classifieds“. The complaint formally became a case two years later.

In its defense, Meta argued that the Marketplace operates “in a highly competitive scenario” e “does not use data from rivals on the platform to compete against them“. In Brazil, the feature has been available since 2018.

Apple likely won't take long to implement a fix and restore downloads, especially given the severity of the issue.

Four years after winning the first Oscar for Best Picture given to a production not in English with Parasite, filmmaker Bong Joon-ho is ready to present his new project. Last Tuesday (17), Warner Bros released the first trailer for Mickey 17, a science fiction story with dark humor tones.

The film will tell the story of Mickey (Robert Pattinson), a man who, tired of life on Earth, decides to explore space as a Disposable.

In a recent interview with PC GamerYoshida was asked by a journalist if there were any “particularly silly” mods he would like to see in the Final Fantasy 16 para PC.

“If we said 'it would be great if someone did XYZ,' it might sound like a request, so I'll avoid mentioning specifics here,” Yoshida explained to PC Gamer. “The only thing I will say is that We definitely don't want anything offensive or inappropriateso please don't do or install anything like that.”

Final Fantasy 16 PC release could boost Square Enix's numbers

According to the company's most recent earnings report, Square Enix revealed that earnings numbers Final Fantasy VII Rebirth e Final Fantasy 16 “unfortunately they did not meet the expectations” of the Japanese giant.
