Some parts are different.
One thing that put me off was that the boss wasn't an insane lunatic that did random things.
The boss is the US version was a more collected, planning and evil character.
Like the scene where he called back after firing an entire department to say "I was just keeping the IT-department in line", suggesting that he knew what they where up to all along.
The UK boss wouldn't do that.
He would keep doing things that only made sense to his insane brain, until something went down hill enough that he just jumped out of a window in the middle of a meeting.

- jeroenhd 4y agoThat single unnecessary addition after the "team" scene completely diffused Reynholm's character, I don't understand why they would do that. I guess they're going for the evil boss kind of thing but it doesn't seem to fit the format at all. I think this remake could've gone well if they changed up the script a bit and maybe alter the characters some more. Except for the views and some change of wording, this felt like a fan remake featuring Richard Ayoade more than it felt like a serious attempt to get the show to America.
