I have only seen the British office version which was very aggresive. Also the amount of space they were working in is so unlike our working conditions. I think programmes only work when people can relate to them.
A Dutch version of office would be very dull to watch. Nothing happens.
How would you describe the differences? Like, I can't imagine there not being workplace dramas or personalities that rub against each other.
Parks and Rec kind of flips The Office's caricatures after the first mercifully short season. The main cast is largely competent, including the main David Brent/Michael Scott character. A lot of the fun comes from peoples' eccentricities bouncing off each other.
