Life on Mars, y’all

I watched the pilot of the American version of Life on Mars last night.

I can understand in a way that they wanted to adapt it to an American audience, as naturally not many American’s are going to be familiar with modern day UK - yet alone seeing the 70’s UK, but evenso - it’s just so wrong :(

You just cannot replace Philip Glenister with Colm Meaney (he played Mile O’Brian in Star Trek TNG and DS9 in case you don’t know the name) .

Added to which, the story and plot is the same - just Americanised, so you know what’s going to happen anyway in the first episode if you’ve seen the UK version - it’s just not as funny and well, a bit shit.
