Recommending series is very difficult, more so than films, as it takes a big time commitment. My cousin got me into the UK Office and I was incredibly dubious when he said we should move on to the US version, thinking in my (not quite) chauvinistic mindset that there was no way the remake could live up to the original. The first episode was the worst, as it was the same at 90%, just different names and some slight tweaks. Most of the first season is like that but it eventually strays from that path.

My girlfriend was exactly the same and it took a lot of convincing to get her to watch it, but the first thing she said when the series finale finished was if we could watch it again from the beginning :P

I know plenty of people that were put off by BB's slow pace, especially between Season 1 and 3, but it is essential, as the whole series is paced to keep building at a crescendo. Most people can't appreciate that.

There are always more series to watch, I have a very long list, it's just hard to get to everything, especially when you think back to a series you've already seen but want to dive back into.
