This is good. It's not brilliant like the UK version but it is pretty funny. Will and Simon are quite well cast but Jay and Neil are nothing special but maybe they'll get better as the series progresses.
After watching the pilot, it pretty much closely follows the UK script but is not as good as the original. This isn't necessarily a bad thing as The US Office pilot was a copy of the UK version but not as good. After they went in their own direction with the scripts and stopped copying the UK version, it fell into place and was great for many seasons(until they killed it to death and beat the corpse with a iron baseball bat)
This version is watchable and has it's moments, I like it (but I don't love it enough to flick it's clunge!)
