I honestly didn’t care for it and didn’t find it funny. I watched some w/someone and my daughter makes me watch it w/her when she doesn’t feel good. She doesn’t understand why I don’t find it funny.
I watched the entire series when I was profoundly depressed and I found it comforting and entertaining. I tried watching it recently and I don't understand how I endured that show.
@dirge The British one was a roaring success and the actors have all gone on to even greater success. Ricky Gervais Stephen Merchant who created and wrote it are highly regarded. I think they just moved on. The British TV system often throws up gems which shine brightly for a season or two and then fade for something new. The lack of commercial imperative means more experimental work and no need to milk something well after the cow has gone dry.
@Convivial ironically i watched the first episode of the british version cause it has Rickey. Its wild but both pilot episodes mirror each other. I went through several of the US and i didnt even chuckle at anything
