Reply to comment by Mitoria in What are examples of american remakes being superior to the original? by Platanoes
I'd say it depends on what you want. US Office is more wholesome but a bit too long and sometimes too goofy. UK... they present the bleakness of everyday life very well, but it isn't as wholesome and flashy as US, I agree. I prefer UK, but have watched US version quite a few times as well.

The US version absolutely has it's moments and I couldn't imagine any better casting to the Michael Scott role than Steve Carell, but the UK version is far better at delivering humor and emotion at a much darker level. Ricky Gervais is able to make me cringe at such a visceral level, and some of the scenes were just downright depressing.
US version = wholesome laughter.
UK version = dark laughter.
