The UK version is obviously superior, but the US version is still very good and makes some interesting choices. I think it explores some of the characters much better than the UK one. Dwight is a weak link, far too often being too 'out there' to be funny, but the way it explores why Jim torments him so much makes Jim into a pretty sad character at times which is pretty brave. Plus, the UK version is largely carried by Brent in a way that the US's isn't carried by Michael.
The UK is a better show, but I think the US is more rounded.
it explore some of the characters better? You cant compare character exploration between the 2. The show's characters arent the same.
Yes they are.
Don't even try and pretend that they're not.
Are you genuinely going to try and tell me that;
Brent = Michael
Tim = Jim
Gareth = Dwight
Dawn = Pam
Isn't perfectly true?
strawberry float me, even Keith = Kevin.
They have near identical storylines and are, to all intents and purposes, the same character. And the US version explored those characters better.
