I am aware that David Kelley is remaking this BBC drama for US television.
Why?
Anyhoo, I just finished watching the first 4 episodes from series 1. So far, it seems to be improving with every episode, but its still nothing brilliant*. If you look at it closely, its your same 'ol 'new cop in a new station with a differnt way of doing things' kinda show. The vanity of the whole 70's setting wears of after a couple of episodes. Still, I'll watch the rest of the episodes from series 1 and that will probably be it.

* How do I define brilliant?
Carnivale, Deadwood, Six Feet Under, Twin Peaks, etc.
