I happened to see the British series. It took some getting used to, but after a couple of episodes, I was hooked.
I don’t care for the Ashes to Ashes (female taken back to the 80s) as much. Gene Hunt has lost some of his rough ‘edge’.
I think there is a 3rd ‘season’ that will be shown on British tele this fall.
I have been watching several British programs. With the Am writer strike and the continuous reruns of the same stuff on cable, it is kind of refreshing to see some of the British programs.
