Steph, you are absolutely right — it IS Sona. Thanks for catching that.

I’m sure McNulty would sleep with anyone, being the slut he is, but I think I’d be a bit nervous, considering exactly where that man has been.

Yes, but if I worked in Baltimore PD on The Wire, I could sleep with Jimmy McNulty. That guy sleeps with everyone!

(And the Panama prison is Sona, not Soma.)

I hope not. I should say that my (albeit Scottish, not English) boyfriend also thinks that the US version is better; he couldn’t watch the UK version because of the intense cringe factor, but for some reason doesn’t feel that fof the US version, possibly because it’s more removed from personal experience.

From my point of view, it may also be down to novelty – I’ve watches both UK series a few times – and also near-total Ricky Gervais burnout.

Jess, you may be the first English person I've heard admit that The Office US might be better. They won't kick you out of the UK for that, will they?

I have actually just started watching The Office US, and am starting to think that the workplace there is even worse than Wernham Hogg (what’s it called? Dunder Mifflin? Something like that?).

I am also starting to grudgingly admit that it may actually be better than the UK original.

I could not watch The Office UK back when I had an office job — it was just too realistic. After a whole day working on pointless, menial tasks, I didn’t want to spend my free time watching others do the same.

Bextera, Sunnydale High and Chicago County would be awful, too. They almost make an office job sound like a good time.
