The Office (UK)

After rewatching most of the US version I decided to give the UK version a 2nd chance.  I've watched the first episode once years ago, but found the accents so difficult I didn't follow through.  This time I turned on subtitles which was a huge help and watched both series 1 & 2 in about a 3 week period.  It's great.  The plot and characters are very similar to the US version, but the plot lines are completely different.  I got quite attached to the characters and was sad when it was over.  This series is darker, dirtier but equally as funny as the US show.   I'd recommend it if you're a fan of the US version.
