For the most part, I generally prefer the originals - for example, The Office and Broadchurch (the US version is Gracepoint). A notable exception being Shameless - I simply can't stomach the UK version, while I have been thoroughly enjoying the US remake.
Watching both versions of a show does seem to point to interesting cultural differences - for example, because I've been living in the States for just over 15 years now, I actually became anxious when the British detectives in Broadchurch were chasing after a person of interest without guns. Obviously the US version had them immediately drawing their weapons.
I haven't watched the UK version of House of Cards yet.
Any others worth paying attention to?
