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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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