I also watched the British Office before they ever created this one. It's good in a different way. David Brent is not supposed to be sympathetic and way more cringe-worthy.
I’m a Brit and prefer The US version. I think the US show got a bad rap over here because the first season was pretty much a remake and didn’t work to well. Once the show went in its own direction it got way better but I guess a lot of UK folk didn’t get past season 1.
I’ve rewatched it and it’s still great although lost its way in the last couple of seasons. Favourite part was when Michael can’t recognise which Asian waitress he’s with and then puts a mark on her arm so he can remember. Genius [Reply]
