Well for all those out there who wondered if they'd be able to faithfully adapt The Office for American television, the verdict is in. It blew.
I was willing to give it a chance and I forced myself to sit through the entire episode hoping it would redeem itself since I'm a Steve Carell fan, but alas, it continued on it's path of dullness. The beauty of the BBC version was that although the characters were over the top at times, the actors performed with the utmost subtlety. The acting here is way over the top, to the point where you can't believe that a character like Dwight exists. And as for Carell, he's no Ricky Gervais.
This NBC version feels like a bad high school drama adaptation of The Office. Same jokes, somehow made unfunny.
Makes me appreciate the original even more.
