I found the American re-make of The Killing (for example) to be incredibly cliched, very boring and remarkably predictable in many places and deliberately dumbed down. The characters were poorly portrayed and I felt no emotion for them. Overall I felt it was just a very, safe as houses, won't offend anyone, run of mill Hollywood movie that was expanded into a overlong TV show. I gave up on it after about 6 episodes.
Agreed re the Killing, couldn't watch the US version.
