Saw Australian version first so had bonded with that but the US version is pretty damn good... loved the two tunnel guys ❤❤❤and all the conversations between JP, his step dad ( the WF character so funny) and Marco, JP does a great low key job of being offended bemused then outraged by the madness he s hearing 😊😊😊... PB does a fine job of seeming American without overdoing it at all, making it look so easy, Janice is good but i missed Carol's comic timing and David Field who i lurve, and how do you replace Stokes?(though Tolbeck was pretty great) and Elizabeth and Bernie!! 😆...my fave character in this version was Roberto he s just adorable. Haven't seen season 2 yet!! But will watch it for sure.

I loved the Aussie version, and after watching the first episode of this US version, love it even more. It's hilarious.

It's a comedy about nothing happening.

But perhaps even funnier is reading the reviews of people complaining that nothing happens...

At first I thought they were intentional ie knowingly playing along with the show - but now I'm starting to think they've actually totally missed the point...

If I were to have seen this without seeing the original first, I would've enjoyed it. But the relationships between the characters in this version don't quite hit home like the original. Also, personally, I don't like Patrick Brammall playing an American, when I've seen him in the same role as an Australian. It just doesn't feel right. As a remake, it's solid. The comedy is on point. I saw a review that said something to the effect of "It's just banal chit chat." That is what this show is, the original and this remake. But I would honestly recommend watching the original over this. I think this version may succeed, but right now, it doesn't feel like it has the heart of the original. But this early on.... who knows what will happen.

A team of cops, FBI agents, criminals and bit characters fill the time while waiting for a raid in each season.

In my opinion, the first 3 seasons were completely flawless. It is my type of humor, it was shot well, and the writing is high quality. The characters are built well, and the story beats are very funny. Overall, I would have loved a long0running series, and will DEFINITELY check out the Japanese one, if it's subtitled.

I enjoyed the show very much, but understand that it went south for the animated season. It's too bad, because so much of the show depended on the subtle facial expressions and looks characters gave to each other.

I am heartbroken that this is no longer being made as a live-action series. The Aussie one was also very funny, for those of you who want more of this.

Firstly, a little disclaimer: I haven't seen the Australian original, so I can't compare or comment, but clearly an American remake was the creators' intention given the involvement of Patrick and Trent.

As for the negative comments all around me, look - it is the POINT of the show. The vast majority of the scenes are purely dialogue and character-driven, and every couple of episodes something will actually happen, or two of the characters will meet - but you shouldn't be waiting or expecting during the other scenes for something to happen, it's just a little reward that works all the better BECAUSE of those scenes. It all worked well for me as the last thing I watched before I slept, as you can just listen for the most part, or have it on in the background while doing something else. Keep this in mind, if you want constant action or plot development then watch something else.

I was endeared to the show mainly because of the cast; the character pairings all work and have their moments, with the characters developing or expanding on previous conversations throughout. Season 2 takes great measures to revitalize the situations, especially with Jason Mantzoukas' character, who might have failed without the presence of Jesse Plemons, but actually prospers in an entertaining season-long storyline with Cristin Milioti.
