    I just love the show, and most of the time the US versions aren't that great. The Office turned out to be better though.

    The US ruins every single British show they try to recreate minus The Office.

    I worked a temp crew at the stores once doing remodels (basically stripping up floors, replacing 'furniture' stuff). The only thing worse than the word union, was OSHA. We were moving shelving that was about 10' tall w/loose 2x4s on top, so when you slid the unit, the 2x4 rained down on your head. I asked if there were any hard hats around (it was bad enough being pelted on the back and shoulders, but on the head HURT!). Someone whispered OSHA when I asked about it and he didn't even finish the shift. He was suddenly no longer needed and escorted to the time clock and straight out the front door. They wouldn't even let him buy a soda on the way out. He was told to get off the property ASAP.

    I haven't seen it, so you're probably right but when they tried to do Life on Mars, Skins, Coupling, Eleventh Hour, Being Human. All crap. Especially the remake of Skins. God that was embarrassing. I even hate the US version of Top Gear.

    The American Torchwood wasn't bad, Shameless is good, Kitchen Nightmare - the only difference is Gordon is censored, House of Cards is good.

    LOL the American Torchwood was the biggest piece of trash to ever hit the franchise..... barely worse than the Children of the Earth series before that, but still too "Look we have an American budget now so let's go over the top and completely ruin the franchise."

    was never really a big fan of the UK Torchwood, as far as english shows went, it was bottom of the barrel for me. Sort of how Primeval started strong and turned in to utter garbage

    Russell T Davies destroyed Torchwood before Starz got their hands on it. The first season was good, but it went downhill from there. I was really happy when he broke entirely away from the Dr. Who franchise and let Moffat take over.

    I need to watch Being Human (US) to see if it's any good. I loved the UK one.

    No, but two of us nearly got a good sized concussion out of moving those shelves. Like Sam says... you should be willing to die for the sake of a well organized retail space!

    I'm not sure when whatever it is you're talking about happened, but I made it to the cannibal family in the woods episode of Torchwood and thought it was awesome, then it fell flat right after that

    I liked the US "Being Human" better. But for the rest, I love the UK version and the US version sucked. There's also that one about the IT guys in the basement. I loved the UK version and I think I saw that the US was going to try for a remake... ugh.

    I also liked the US version of that dog that talked. Wilfred? That version was better (to me) than the Australian version.

    There were 2 seasons, then a small series of it called Children of the Earth where Davies showed his thirst for murdering children and favorites, then Starz took over with Miracle Day which looked like 3 people from Torchwood meets John Woo. Children of the Earth should have never been made. The series should have died after 2, because it was already on life support.
