Based on the British show The Office, Le Bureau relocates Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's slough-based sitcom to a Parisian suburb. Though it is essentially an exact reworking of the original with only the language and cultural references changing, it fares well as its own series. Maintaining the cringe-worthy yet hilarious tone of the original it features competent performances throughout, which stand in their own right, though never reaching the remarkably high level set by the original. On the surface the show seems to be about the mundane goings on in an everyday office, but looking beyond that reveals a satire on the nature of celebrity and of humour itself.
Definitely worth searching out.
