ABC to remake Spooks in the USA!

[Tomsdouble]

Well put, Bertowud, 'semantic differences', indeed

You may not have the IRA equivalents in the US but you have some crazy right-wing religious fundamentalist groups (alluded to in epsidode 1, series 1 of Spooks); I'm sure they could easily be brought into storylines. If the writing is good enough then problems such as the PC issue shouldn't really come up. I just hope it doesn't degenerate into a rightwing torture-fest a la 24.
