I have watched the Anglo-Franco remake and it's pretty good, it's just a shame that it's basically the same story (no new twists -maybe Sky Atlantic were targeting this series at a slightly different audience?). The characters aren't markedly different but I would say there's more humour in the original thanks to…

The second season has been pretty solid so far (we're only 4 episodes in admittedly). It's a shame no U.S. networks have picked it up in its original format. How does the US/Mexican version compare?

I had a pretty busy weekend so didn't get through my usual heavy dose of pop culture. Saturday was mostly spent watching episodes from season 3 of 'Portlandia' (via Netflix) and a double-bill of the second series of 'The Bridge' (original Swedish/Danish version) which is currently airing on BBC4.
