    Was watching them on surfthechannel but they seem to have taken all the links down.

    From what I've seen so far it's the best series yet.

    Funny you should say that - I've seen every episode and I don't really rate this season so far. Still funnier than 90% of the shit out there, just not as consistently good as it has been in the past

    It's excellent. I've said to mates before that it's better than our version but they won't believe me. Really good.

    If it's better than the original I'll give it a go.

    It's gone on too long for me. Funny but not a patch on the original.

    Honestly it's such a great watch once you get to know the charactor's.

    its different from the original and has that hollywood comedy thing spot on, so if you like most american comedies with steve carrell you'll love the us office. It's also the series that made gervais a very rich man.

    You can't compare them. The British Office is thought provoking, humorous and well acted. The American one is just a comedy, but a good one. They aren't the same show.

    Spot on. Completely different in approach - the only thing it retains from the original is the setting. Agree though, the last two series have, whilst occasionally being funny, been largely dull. Should have called it a day at the end of series 6.

    Most of the American series go on too long: they know how to milk something for all it's worth, that's for sure!

    All episodes and series are now on amazon prime. If you didnt catch it's first time round, which from reading back over my old posts reminds me of how much hard work it was for me to get the episodes as they were shown in the states and for some reason pretty much ignored over here by tv networks

    The first 2 series have to be stuck with then you are rewarded with 7 seasons of episodes with at least one belly laugh in each.

    I couldn't recommend this programme enough

    I would recommend skipping the first series entirely. The second series, in my opinion, is where The Office US starts to find its own voice. The first series is just a poor rehash of the UK version.

    Funniest comedy since Seinfeld for me. So many memories - the CPR dummy, the Melon birth, the heavy metal motivation in the car, pretty much every prank Jim pulls on Dwight... Genius

    Love the British one but think the American Office is maybe the best TV comedy ever made.

    Steve Carrell is a genius too.

    Might have to give it another go. Watched some of one episode of the first series and thought it was gash.

    a rare example of a remake being massively superior

    and the final episode may be close to perfection

    Thought the remake was hideous. Completely different tone to the original, polished like 96% of all American sitcoms.
