Israel is the sixth country to adapt the renowned British comedy series that first aired in the UK ten years ago. In this rendition, the sharp-tongued dialogues at a paper supply company serve as a kind of catharsis to poke fun at everyone in the seemingly random family of the workplace. No one is off limits: religious, Arab, gay, macho or feminist. Avi Meshulam, the obnoxiously overbearing boss with a big heart, is at the center of this microcosm of Israeli society. With biting humor, HaMisrad breaks taboos around gender, race, and the military.
