Simply state which of the Office series you prefer, the US or UK one….

US for me

I've not seen the US version, so my answer would be biased.

They are 2 different things, which I don't think you can fully compare despite them being the same show originally.

Based upon US Office season 1,UK is better because US was trying to replicate that and it was pretty bad overall.

Once they dropped that path and went with the usual US way of doing shows it was so much better but the core premise changed too.

This hits the nail on the head perfectly. 👌🏻

UK version, but the US version is also very good

I don’t really find American humour that funny but in this case the US version is head and shoulders above the UK one.

One of the perfect reminders that comedy is subjective. Could never get into the UK version and never saw the US one

I quite like Ricky Gervais in a lot of things and some of his standup too.

However I watched a few episodes of the office (UK) just to give it a chance as everyone at work was raving on about it at the time.

I just didn't get it, so I didn't bother with it.

As for the US version, I never started it.
