Negative Positive
Title: Poor. Very, very POOR!!!
Review: I wish I could have awarded ZERO stars.An American friend of mine sent me this set and the first series DVDs.Compared to the British original series they are very dull. They lack the bite and drama. They are sanitised so as not to upset the American viewing audience. For example, how often does the US series show sexual action? The openiong of the UK series shows Nathan (the schoolboy) having sex - and it's THAT MOMENT that underpins the whole of the series. It never ceases to amaze me how a US network will buy the rights to a UK TV series and then proceed to butcher the whole concept.My suggestion?If you have a multi-region DVD player (or PAL compatable VCR) go to amazon.co.uk and buy the REAL THING, and not these watered-down, sanitised and dreary remakes.You may have to work a bit harder than you're used to with the accents and some of the settings, but that effort will be rewarded.
Is the review positive or negative?
