I wasn't shitting on it, I loved it. I just think the American version is superior. I agree it was more focused because as I mentioned, it only ran for 12 episodes as opposed to 176! If you think the UK version would've lasted that long you're kidding yourself. I've seen nearly everything Gervais has done and I don't think it surpasses The Office. The Invention of Lying. That's the shit I don't like. Extras. That's the shit I don't like. The Ricky Gervais Show. That's the shit I don't like. An Idiot Abroad. That's the shit I don't like. The only thing he's done since The Office that made me laugh my ass off is when he plays Louie's doctor.
