Well, that was awkward. But of course, it makes for some of Gervais' best material and moments, no matter how hard it is to watch. The NBC adaptation of The Office turned Steve Carell into a loveable loser as Michael Scott - but Gervais' turn as Brent doesn't leave much to love, as he's quite rude and offensive most of the time.

It's a shame we didn't get to see a bit more of Brent and the crew at Wernham Hogg, but the UK definitely knows how to do TV right by keeping seasons short and sweet. While it would have been nice to get a bit more out of the series from Gervais and Stephen Merchant, we're glad it wasn't beaten into the ground like many American TV series nowadays.
