‘Like an episode of Utopia’: Why are Australian workplace comedies so good?

ABC's new comedy "Bad Company" joins Australia's pantheon of workplace comedies, which includes "Utopia," "Frontline," and "Rake." The show contrasts creative and corporate cultures through characters like deadpan boss Julia McNamara and theatrical employee Margie Argyle. Australian workplace comedies excel because they satirize bureaucracy and corporate absurdities rather than sentimentalizing characters, reflecting the nation's self-deprecating humor.
