I really do wish the new one was better, but it's not. Some of the acting is atrocious (particularly in s3 and 4) and it just doesn't flow well.
The original version actually got better in the last two seasons. I put off watching them for a long time, but they're actually very good.
I thought the US version started off all right, but it's gone far downhill, IMO. And at its best, it could still never be as good as the original.
50 Is The New Cutoff Age.
Seasons 3 and 4 were just about worthless.
I would say that season 1 was excellent and extremely well acted.
What really made the series decline was how it started getting like a soap opera.
They should have planned 2-3 seasons and stuck to it.
The US version tried to0 hard to be like Breaking Bad where the anti-hero does over the top shit to get things done and it extends this for over 3 seasons. 2 seasons was enough.
