I can't get over Tennant's American Accent and if it is 90% of what Broadchurch was, - amoxy Oct 2, 11:53
nope. I watched "Broadchurch" (well-done, compelling, impactful - don't think I will ever rewatch) and will watch series 2 of it; but I have no - b. Oct 2, 11:36
in reading the article they admit to turning it more into a procedural... - Mel Profit Oct 2, 11:23
I just don't know. Time is a real commodity and I've already done this. -- nm - Diva Oct 2, 11:10 1
- agreed. that's why I don't watch multiple versions of the same show (NCIS) and try not to watch the same genre (Fallen Skies vs Walking Dead). -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 2, 11:18
Gracepoint, that's a benign ensemble drama about a bucolic country manor right? -- nm - con_carne Oct 2, 11:07 2
- The name reminds me of Haven, actually. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 2, 11:10
- *fast forwards past the part about the slaves* -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 11:09
There is no plausible scenario in which I ever watch an episode of this. -- nm - David Oct 2, 11:05 2
- Yeah, I passed the first time and I will pass this one, too. - Spawn Oct 2, 11:07 1
  - Right, I'd rather just re-watch Fright Night. -- nm - David Oct 2, 11:08
It was filmed in my town, so I might. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 2, 11:03
The only way I'd watch it is if ST was blown away by it... - Mel Profit Oct 2, 11:02 14
- I'm done being freaked by the orig. version. I just remain incredibly saddened by it. But still recognizing how well done it was. -- nm - Diva Oct 2, 11:11
- I will watch it because David Tennant. -- nm - loosi at work Oct 2, 11:09 9
  - Did you watch Broadchurch? -- nm - Shaun Oct 2, 11:11
  - did you watch the regular one? it's so curious to me that he's remaking the same show. you know? not volume two, but volume one: amerixcan. -- nm - vice president peggy ann Oct 2, 11:11 7
    - no, not yet. -- nm - loosi at work Oct 2, 11:15
    - that's kind of why I want to check it out a bit. It's so odd that he's doing both versions it makes me a bit curious. -- nm - Diva Oct 2, 11:12 3
      - The article spoils it a lot if you watched the first one. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 11:13 2
        
        yeah - prolly won't read the article as I'm still not decided on whether I'll watch. -- nm - Diva Oct 2, 11:14 1
        
        The spoil is a comparison of the two. it is ... (spoil?) - Spawn Oct 2, 11:24
    - I know next to nothing about the US one, but I have to think that this is a 'so you Yanks don't fuck this up' type of role. -- nm - Shaun Oct 2, 11:12 1
      - this could be. in doing it, he may be taking care of the precious. -- nm - Diva Oct 2, 11:13
- I really don't think that it'll be as powerful. It can't possibly be, could it? -- nm - Shaun Oct 2, 11:06 2
  - If it is as powerful, I don't know that I want to be exposed to it.The BBC version left me queasy at times. - Mel Profit Oct 2, 11:14
  - I don't have a ton of faith in anna gunn, here. I'm tivoing it but might never watch. -- nm - vice president peggy ann Oct 2, 11:07
