Life on Mars

[ Mood: Confused ]
Just seen the first episode in the US remake of Life on Mars. It was pretty much a word for word remake of the British version.

Apart from the obvious differences in location and American references to the Seventies, the main difference was that there was no Chris. Writing him out of the series maybe allows them to save the 10 minutes or so that they need for ad breaks.

It was interesting but I preferred the original and the original actors – Colm Meaney doesn’t cut it as Gene Hunt for me, at least in this first episode.
