Am I the only one who likes this show?

I haven't seen the BBC original and after seeing the "American version" and seeing how much more people enjoy the UK version, I'll definitely have to look into it, because I love this show! Certainly the acting is a little bit over the top at times, but I haven't found it to be so distracting.

If the jokes are taken straight out of the original, I think that's unfortunate, but since I haven't seen the original yet, IGNORANCE IS BLISS! The writing is hilarious. The acting is a little over the top at times, but I don't find it to detract from the writing.

Maybe I'm a stupid American, but I love this show, and I look forward to the next season.
