Ground Up review – Sam Pang stars in ABC’s easily digestible AFL office comedy
People love a good bureaucracy satire â but while this six-part series is tonally pleasant, itâs not belly-laugh material
Fans of bureaucracy-themed workplace comedies such as Utopia and The Hollowmen will feel right at home watcing Ground Up, an easily digestible and well-paced series that feasts on the genreâs familiar staples: pointless meetings, labyrinthine approval processes, mountains of red tape and endless rounds of buck-passing. Like the Sydney Olympics-themed The Games â my favourite Australian show in this genre â Gary McCaffrieâs series is about the management of a major upcoming sports project: the launch of an AFL team in Tasmania.
An ABC comedy about Tasmania’s new AFL team should have worked. Instead, it’s an own goal
Screenwriters usually have to wait for real-world events to play out before they can apply their blowtorches, so kudos to Gary McCaffrie, the creator and writer of Ground Up, for being first to the punch. This scripted six-part ABC comedy is based on the impending arrival of the AFL’s 19th team, the Tasmania Devils, and the construction of a new stadium in Hobart. Given not a single player has been signed up nor a piece of sod turned, he’s at least a few years ahead of the events he’s satirising. Call it the parody-first approach to history.
