I only caught the last half of it. It was horrible. Like watching gradeschool children act out a scene from your favorite film. I thought American Coupling was bad, but this was much much much much worse.
The only actor who was almost good was the Tim parallel. The Dawn parallel was too thin, too good looking, and too wooden, the Gareth parallel not creepy enough, and the David Brent parallel too tall to be a "sad little man" and nowhere near charming enough to pull off the sham that David Brent pulled.
I feel like I should both apologise to Britain that my countrymen have done such a horrible thing to something so cool, and at the same time beg Britain to never ever again sell one of their masterpieces over for a Hollywood remake.
Luckily for me Tuesday night will be the show's regular night, and that is Gaming Club night, so I won't be tempted in that "can't look away from the train wreck" sort of way to watch any more episodes.
