Gervais plays the same role in all his shows. Its that sarcastic condescending UK humour that was popular in the 90s. The UK office is written around that style of comedy. Fact all his material is around that style, he plays himself. Its a bit Marmite. Which limits its audience.

The US office is an entirely different style of humour. Its not as sarcastic and condescending, probably by design, to make it have boarder appeal in the US market. I would say Carrell plays a similar role to that he plays in other films.

I've never watched either with a critical eye to see what worked and didn't. Its an interesting comparison from all angles. it would be interesting to hear how it all came together.

I've tried a few times to get into the UK Office but I don't find it funny. I'll give US Office a go since I like Steve Carrell.

I thought Triple Frontier was quite good, acting, story, cinematography all decent. I appreciate its all subjective but Im a bit surprised so many here didnt like it.

Thought triple frontier ran out of steam. I had high hopes for it but just didnt enjoy it in the end.

I could swear I have seen a film with a strikingly similar concept recently.......

They're running out of ideas for scary movies. We've had an endless amount of 'parent with possessed child' movies so these creature that hunt by sound are the new thing.

Holy crap now thats a trailer!

Watching Dirty John. Have to say it is pretty poor. Deborah Newell (Connie Britton) is very underwhelming, her mother played by Jean Smart reminds me of Mrs Doubtfire, Eric Bana is ok but it's just weak. Watched episode 4 last night, this was considerably weaker than the first 3, hopefully just a blip.

Stranger Things looks great!!

Stranger things...

Season 2 was somewhat of a crushing dissapointment to me. Season 3 looks a lot better!
