Geeze... why do we always have to take a great BBC show and make a horrible US version. Just release the superior British version here. They ruined the Office, Mars, Little Britain and other BBC shows that way. Reply

@Andrew E. Konietzky: It's not a BBC show. It airs on ITV over in the UK.


And - like anything on ITV, with the exception of "Coronation Street" - it's fucking awful. Really awful. If the producers have actually managed to sell this to the US, then I congratulate them as they giggle to themselves and maybe do a little jig. Well done, chaps.


If this is all true, I'd look forward to the remake. Maybe they can expand beyond the join-the-dots scripts, shitty FX and the crap acting.


Is there such a dearth of decent sci-fi out there that garbage like this is lauded on sites like this? Reply

@VirusWithShoes: So you read an article about a show you hate, then clicked on comment to write an extensive, detailed breakdown of why you hate it?


Why? Reply

@Alasdair5000: Your original statement contained an error. And the show is fucking awful.


Essentially, I'm here to promote order and sanity amongst those blind to the truth.


Again - the show is fucking awful. Reply
