LoM US Edition: It just isn't right.
I am only 15mins into the series premier of the US version of Life on Mars and it is making me sick to my stomach. It just isn't right. They've made everything practically the same. I was expecting similarities, but not as exact as it's being. The beginning was the same. The shots were almost exact. As much as I love Harvey Keitel, the line "Don't waltz into my kingdom acting like king of the jungle." just doesn't sound right coming from him.
It's back on...and I'm back.
Even when he was knocking Jason O'Mara around it seemed wrong. Speaking of Jason O'Mara, he doesn't pull off the 'insane victim who toughs it out' like John Simm does. He just seems angry and pathetic. It is very early for me to be making judgments, though, I guess. Maybe I'm just not giving it the shot it deserves because of my devout loyalty to the UK version.
Hang on...okay.
It is so similar, that my brother asked me how I could not like this version. Well, because it feels awkward and doesn't fit right. Oh, look! They did the desk leap! It's still cool.
I don't like it, but I'll probably keep watching it. le sigh
