Even if the American “Office” was a remake, too, some say it is superior to the British version.

Dara Greenwood, an associate professor of psychological science at Vassar,saysthat watching the show might become a coping tool. “Familiar shows are comfortingly predictable — they are the opposite of a threatening or novel experience. We know what’s coming and we know we like it, not unlike favorite comfort foods, perhaps.”
