That single unnecessary addition after the "team" scene completely diffused Reynholm's character, I don't understand why they would do that. I guess they're going for the evil boss kind of thing but it doesn't seem to fit the format at all.

I think this remake could've gone well if they changed up the script a bit and maybe alter the characters some more. Except for the views and some change of wording, this felt like a fan remake featuring Richard Ayoade more than it felt like a serious attempt to get the show to America.
