Yep I watched and wish I hadn't. It just doesn't seem to work with American Actors and being set in the USA. no idea why it needed remade to be honest.

Re: life on mars
 

i think that is more because the mass market in the US just won't watch a programme with UK actors , set over here.

I'm sure some after watching the US version will seek out the UK version but not as many

I had the misfortune to watch the US v of LoM and words fail me.

Re: life on mars
 

I believe they are reshooting the first episode again - this time using actors :D

Looks like the yanks are going to butcher it then.

Typical :rolleyes:

When will they understand the world does not revolve around them.

Re: life on mars
 

The ambiguity was a large part of the series' appeal... :rolleyes:

Re: life on mars
 

didn't they understand that the whole point was "it wasn't just a cop show" or would that concept be too difficult for the average American to understand

Re: life on mars
 

It's just that they cannot believe that the average US viewer can actually think..

Re: life on mars
 

I'm guessing a 'cop' show in America needs to centre on either lots of explosions or catching terrorists.

Hopefully, this guy can play a better Gene Hunt than the other guy who was meant to play him.

Re: life on mars
 

I see its also going to be set in New York and not LA.

Re: life on mars
 

If they are not careful, setting it in NY and the tweaks to the format you could end up with another New Amsterdam.

I really liked Life on Mars, what a great story. It looks like they're trying to slaughter it on purpose.
