I don't meet a lot of fellow Americans that have even seen the original, which I think is a shame. I actually have not watched much of the American version, so this is not a review to slam the American version or to compare the two, thank God.

The Office is an easy show to watch and get into at only 12 episodes and two specials, but it goes through so much character development and ... read more

David Brent never stops. The American Office balances the characters' pettiness with extreme sentimentality, but Ricky Gervais never allows his character to be anything but completely horrible. Ground-breaking style, great humor.

"Ricky Gervais & The Office was so much fun during Alexander von Roon's time at Bloomberg. Saw him #LosAngeles & hope the Brit will host the Oscars, since he can Act, Sing & hopefully dance as well. Ma"

Brilliant and intelligent

“I love comedy, when it is funny, clever, intelligent and sophisticated. Imagine my surprise when I saw the first episode of The Office, huge surprise and in a very good way too. Since seeing the first episode I have been hooked on this show. Why? Because it is funny. The writing is a vast majority of the time hilarious while allowing some time to be intelligent as well. True there are one or two moments in Season 2 that are somewhat cringe worthy, but I always find myself laughing so hard and wiping away tears from my eyes, I don't mind so much. The production values are terrific, the direction is very well done consistently and the acting is wonderful. Whether I can stand Ricky Gervais or not is very dependent on the material and what he is in. Personally I don't mind him, but I am not hi” read more
