This mirror of the British show is not unenjoyable -- I mean... it's a fine show! But what ever was the motivation to remake a show so precisely? EsPECIALly while the original is still on the air and readily available on North American TV? It seems that SyFy just bought the BBC scripts and used "find and replace" to change the characters' names. I mean... did they think it was too hard for Americans to read the British subtitles? And the British cast is truly brilliant, while the American cast is... just okay.
SyFy has done some great stuff (most notably, of course, Battlestar Galactica) but this one is a real head-scratcher. In sum: watch the REAL (original) show on BBC America, it's wonderful, and on NOW. I suppose if English accents truly give you a bee up the bum you could turn this one on; but that would be really really silly.
