I remember hearing Ben and other UK members talk about this a long time ago, and now, ads are appearing for this on ABC. It looks interesting, so I might check it out.
How about you? |

The UK version was great. I'm not so sure about an American version though.. I plan to watch the first episode and from that make my judgment about watching the rest or not. |

I agree, the UK version was awesome, hopefully the US version will be good. Like you, I plan on watching the first episode and make my decision from there. |

I'm not at all familiar with the UK show, but the leaked pilot wasn't that great. However, they recast Annie and Gene (though I had more of a problem with Sam than anyone else), so maybe the episode will be better. |

I've never seen the UK version, but I wasn't too overly thrilled with the pilot. It wasn't terrible, it just didn't grab me. But with recasts it might be better.

I think so. He'll forever be Christopher to me, though. |

I loved the UK version and am watching the US version. The best thing about the UK show was, it was only 16 episodes over 2 seasons, hopefully the US version won't be any longer, I can imagine if it takes too long for Sam to get answers, people will stop watching.
So I hope they will do it like in the UK, where they gave it a sequel in the form of Ashes to Ashes and moved on to the 80ties. |

I am not liking this show anywhere near as much as I had hoped I would! I love Jason O'Mara and I wanted a show of his to work, but I'm not at all sure I'm going to stick with it. I know everyone seems to love Michael Imperiole so much, but he is the main thing I dislike about the show. I hardly ever stop watching a show, but... |

well - i liked the US version as well as the UK one - why u might ask - HARVEY KEITEL of course - the plot is a little different, it is well written and adapted (New-York-ized) the cast is great and the last episode leads to a conclusion with really wired twist (Lynch or Fincher worthy)
so in contrary to most (but of course not all) - US adaptions of successful UK shows - i really liked that one very much ....
cheers ahab666 |

Yes, this was a pretty good series finale. Much better than I've learned to expect. A surprise, but an actual conclusion. |

Just got round to watching the US version the other day. To put it mildly, I wasn't impressed. |
