I'll go first....The Office.

Now I know the two shows are fundamentally quite different, but they adapted what was already a very successful show, and turned It into an event more successfully one that lasted for significantly longer than the original did. I say that's a win for them.

Anything else? Life on Mars, Being Human, The Inbetweeners.....?

Maybe a controversial one but I much prefer the US version of Shameless to the British one.

Same, but it went on too long. I stopped at season 7 and recently tried to finish it, but I just don’t care any more. 🤷🏻‍♂️
