"The Call Center" transposes the mockumentary style of The Office into a comedy about customer service representatives in Mumbai, India. Documenting the rise of a bright-eyed but struggling novice named Raj, this series introduces us to the day-to-day trials of work at a call center. Tina, Raj's overzealous supervisor, and Bobby Dean, a linguistics expert, help Raj climb the ladder of outsourced success. We also meet Raj's other colleagues, each with their own quirks and competency issues. Laughs abound as the call center tests Raj's accents, reflexes, and entrepreneurial spirit in this comedic take on one of the globalized world's most recognizable occupations.
