Worst preview ever

[starrylizard]

The Americans have remade life on Mars!! *shudder*
And the American voice-over guy... *shudders more*
I wanted to give it a chance, but so far, I just don't want to even know about it...

Don't believe me, click the link

Someone else is gonna have to watch the show when it comes out and tell me if it's as bad as the preview makes it look. And irony for ya, the two leading actors... not American. Though that might be its saving grace. O_o

And for the record, I'm not poking sticks at the Americans...please don't take offense. I just don't understand the remake thing that keeps happening.

It just blows my mind that they're allowed to follow it *that* closely and call it their own. They stole the freakin' tagline! I wanted them to stay close to the original in spirit, but seeing that preview, I think I'm with you. that article also said they moved it to '72 to get in jokes about the presidential election, so that may be an indication of something more American.

If I was Matthew Graham or one of those guys that waited eight years to sell their baby to the BBC because they didn't want to change it to fit the organization's idea, I would *not* have sold it to *anyone*, let alone Americans with their brilliant track record of adapting British television...:P

(and I'll second the rec for Blackpool. It's such a bizarre concept but somehow it works...)

I noticed it was '72, and it sounded wrong, but I couldn't remember what year he was sent back to in LoM. That explains it.

Also, OMG it has David Tennant in it. Nobody told me that. Okay, I totally want Blackpool now!! *grabby hands* I'll have to look for it in the ABC store. :)
