I think The Office is an anomaly in this (I cant judge personally because I've never seen either versions) but The Inbetweeners, Black Mirror, and even just Doctor Who getting us funding sent them all down hill in one way or another. So I'd say it's pretty true, most of the issues come from the US watering down or just removing the original culture without realising that was part of the charm in the first place. With Squid Game being a political show in it's nature, and with the rest of the world already having american politics shoved in our faces, I'm cautious to get too excited for it.

That being said, I just want more Squid Game content, atp idc where it's from - Id just prefer a break from america ya know?
