this is one of the rare times where i see a remake, and i am not angry. The original Swedish series were truly enjoyable, innovative, creative, and brilliant. Despite the little budget and small targeted variety of audience, they have done a great job, and impressed all types of people all over the world. When someone takes another person's idea, or an existing creation and reproduces it; this is the message he gives out to the world..
"hey you've done well, but i can do it better"
So the audience who are aware of the original work, and loved it the way it was, are and will be nervous critics.. i'd say proceed carefully, and refrain from turning to the dark statistical cliché consumptive side of USA filming.
I sensed the effort of preserving the soul of the show from the original. That is good. Having bigger budget, and access to better studios and filming capabilities, i am hoping that this great series will be remade to reach to a much larger audience.
Not a bad start, but could have been heaps better as this isn't writing a new song, it's like singing an already nice song.
Please impress us all.. Do it better if you can :)
7/10 from me for now.
