Broadchurch/Gracepoint

Anyone else watch Broadchurch? It was a great show that came on the BBC. Well Fox is remaking it.

Actually it was an ITV production (British terrestrial commercial network).

I guess it makes sense to change the "whodunnit", but that was never what the show was about really.

I know my old English professor was probably salivating that he couldn't use it in his classroom as he's retired.

Hmmm, I hope that they do it justice.

American remakes of British shows fall short a lot of the time. But some have been done well.

Has Ten ever done anything bad?

Isn't a bit weird to remake a show and use the same lead? The IT Crowd tried to the same thing with Richard Ayoade. They changed all the other actors and made the joke delivery more American (using the exact same script), but still had Moss. It was kinda weird.http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1547964/?ref_=tt_cl_t2
