Oh god. I’ve seen about 10 minutes of the US version. It was an incredibly painful 10 minutes. The fact that they kept the script identical took the biscuit. I mean really?? It is a very British programme - you can’t do that, it just doesn’t compute. Complete and utter sacrilege! And their choice for Gene was ... disappointing to say the least. I mean, when this is what you’re competing with: (Ok, I can't work out how to post an image properly) Agreed the US version is awful, but it did one good thing - it got me interested in the story/concept. I lasted a few episodes, hoping it would improve. It didn't, it ended (horribly), and I forgot about it 10 years until I discovered UK version. No comparison - none. There will NEVER be another Gene Hunt ❤️

Just in case anyone is feeling in a masochistic mood, you can see some of the travesty that is LOM USA here:
It takes about 5 seconds to work out you're not going to like it
I've just skimmed through it as I haven't seen much of it myself but ... Jesus Whatever you like about LOM - it doesn't matter what it is - this doesn't have it.
The choice for all the characters is a mystery. I had to laugh at the acceptable American version of Annie (fair haired and skinny).
I had to turn it off because it was making me too angry :p

Apparently that's not actually the version that aired, but anyway - whatever happens, it's atrocious. Also the American ending ... makes me unsure whether to laugh or cry

I didn't mind the American version. It was nothing like the UK but it was typically American 70s cheese and in a way I got on board with that.

No clear winner between LOM & A2A for me Batgirl. I love them equally. Though I suspect that LOM will win if put to the vote. Gene. The disgusting things you say when my back is turned!

I like to finish a job no matter how much it hurts haha Is it that bad LA? Only ever saw one episode on Fox or something a fair few years ago not a patch on our LoM - would be insulting to say that, but not the worst thing I'd seen either.
