The first episode wasn't that great, but it definitely got better after episode two.
The character development and writing improved after that initial episode, and after that you really started to see elements of an Australian office environment.
Hannah Howard embodies the larrikin boss that Australians may be familiar with (obviously to an extreme degree), she was obnoxious and annoying, and in your face, but loveable. All the other characters were enjoyable too, and much like season 1 of the US version of the Office, you really don't connect with the characters until the middle of the season, but it's important to give it a go.
I think the mistake that so many people are making with this version of the Office is that they're going in with the expectation that it'll be as good or as funny as the UK and US versions, which is unfair on this production.
I can see that a lot of work went into this, and it's fun and the writing and production is well executed. It's a hilarious Aussie show and shouldn't be compared to the US or UK versions.
Give it a go past the first episode and don't trust the low ratings.

My sweet mobster just wasn't my cup of tea, and I feel like the ratings are misleadingly too high. It certainly doesn't deserve a 10/10.
I really forced myself to get through this drama, the storyline was boring, and really, it was 6 episodes too long- 10 episodes would have sufficed.
I also did not like the ML, he was likeable, but his bumbling, embarrassed character trait was annoying and overdone. When he was serious, or romantic, he really was very sweet, however.
The only redeeming part of the series were the live-in "executives"- they were funny, sweet and made the show watchable.
I do not recommend this drama, and do not believe it deserves any higher than a 4/10.
