I really liked this show. I was curious after I finished and came to IMDB to read up and couldn't believe the low score it had. When I read reviews though it seems everyone who didn't like it were fans of the original uk one. I get that, it's like book vs movie, usually whichever you experience first will remain your favorite. Just felt it was wrong for them to knock this one for it.
So then still curious I found the UK one to watch, I'm on episode 4 but it doesn't grab me like this one did. I feel this version builds the characters more. Our Jessica Hyde is much better as is our Arby with his sociopathic innocence! And Ian & Becky, theres just no chemistry in the UK version. Wilson Wilson was good in both I thought. And UK version has no Sam?? Whats with that? Some people mentioned the great music in the UK version so I kept my ears open, can't say I was impressed.
I really liked the opening of the American one much better, how Utopia was found, how it got into Grants hands etc. Maybe its just more Americanized for us but what can I say, I'm American.
