There is, however, one (big) catch: The office Australia will be available on Prime Video from October 18 in 240 countries and territories worldwide, except the US. But that’s nothing a VPN can’t fix, if you’re really interested.

The clip, released on Wednesday, sees Hannah Howard (Felicity Ward), the director of Sydney-based packaging company Flinley Craddick, trying in vain to win over her employees with her natural charisma, girl boss attitude and visionary leadership.
