Not as bad as the dreadful 'Rovers'
I'm not sure yet , will watch a few more ,currently binging on the American version of the Office ,I do prefer the american comedies like Parks , Veep,Big Bang , etc .
I’m binging American office too, just started series 8. It’s grown on me with each series. I’ll miss it when I’ve finishedQuote:

Loved Curb Your Enthusiasm but my favourite has to be My Name Is Earl.
Earl was brilliant for the first couple of series. Went stupid when he was in a coma but series one and two are excellent.Quote:

Can't be arsed watching any of the newer ones these days.
Would you say its better that the UK office ,I noticed the first series almost mirrored the UK version and Brent , however Carroll has transformed the character in my view ,its hilarious, like you, binging now it s free on AmazonQuote:

Not sure Id say it's better. Its different and the characters develop over the longer run and i like them equally as much.Quote:

Parks and Rec is like The Office, starts off good but gets better and better. Definitely stick with itQuote:
