We watched the Uk series as they arrived over the years it was on, always enjoyed it, decided to give the US version a go and are now seven series in and enjoying it.

Its quite funny and enjoyable, it treads the line between being able to empathise with the characters and realising they are a bunch of scrotes and anyone they come into contact with ends up killed, fleeced, battered or left scarred.

Think it just edges the British on for me, but not watched it in ages.

Anyone else tried it ?

Love the UK series, not seen the US one.

Was watching Sex Education last night and Fiona is in it.

Worth a watch, its like the US version of the office, took what was good about the original and managed to enhance, give it a US flavour without ruining it.

I feel pretty much the same, I find it difficult to accept that there are people who think that it’s not only normal, but quite acceptable, even desirable to live like that.
Ditto with Benidorm, bad enough to have the misfortune to visit the place, how can you possibly want to be reminded of your error of judgment, by watching a TV show about the place?

I love the UK series. I watched a fair bit of the US one but it didn't grab me in the same way.

Loved the UK series, I haven’t seen any of the US ones yet. Might give them a go.
