I had almost no bar set as far as expectations go. Nearly every other adaptation of “The Office” other than the original and the US has failed but right from the pilot this version gets nearly everything right.
I think it stems from the fact that the lead Fernando Bonilla absolutely nails the inept, completely inappropriate boss character but they still let you see tiny bits of a character to root for.
The show borrows lightly from its predecessors but it is very much its own thing. I rarely gush about a show but after being underwhelmed by the Paper, this just hit so good i binged the 8 episode season 1 in one sitting.
It’s on Amazon Prime in Mexico. I used a VPN to watch but I’m hoping the word of mouth spreads on how good it is and they show it somewhere in the US. Definitely recommend.
