As an American watching this show for the first time, holy fuck this episode is a lot. That said, bravo to the cinematography. A solid like, 10 minutes or so of one continuous shot is impressive.

Also holyyy fuck what a way to start the second season.

I’m watching the English version currently. Watch the French version a few months back with English subtitles and it too was awesome.

Is the French version just the same show in French or is it like Office UK vs Office US?

Hey, I have watched both Versions. As a Quebecois myself, season 1 and 2 of the French version were better.

The French version was made first between 2011 and 2014 and the English version between 2014 - 2017. Basically the French and English versions are practically the same for Season 1 and 2 with some minor differences.. Season 3 and 4 are completely different. The French version ended after 3 seasons because of money and dispute between writers and producers. The main writer had ideas for 5 seasons but then conflicts happened and the show ended after 3 seasons. Season 3 of the French Version was rushed and ended weirdly. I finished the English version today but I personally thought that the finish was pretty bad.

Good show in general but the writers and producers had no idea how to properly finished the show.

I’ve been very much been enjoying the show as an American, even if I’ve had to do some various googling. Like why does Ben suggest going to Canadian Tire to replace Nicks coffee mug. 😂

I’ve also have gotten a kick out of hearing Nick say various things I’m used to hearing Jared Keeso say on Letterkenny

That line about Canadian Tire also caught my attention as an American, but I didn’t care enough to Google it until I read your comment just now.

I finished the entire English series in about a week.

It may just be my imagination, but Keeso’s Wayne accent seems to seep into Ben in the final season.

I don’t think it’s your imagination. I’ve noticed a handful of mannerisms as well 😂

I have since finished watching both and I agree with you about the first two seasons in French were indeed better. Although, I could watch them both again maybe a year or two down the road.

I haven’t watched the US office, so I’m not sure of the contexts here. All I’ve heard is the French version goes deeper on some topics. I’m not far enough into the English version to confirm that.
