ABC to remake Spooks in the USA!

[festa]

Speaking as an American.... ABC will def screw it up. If one of the premium channels like HBO or Showtime were picking it up, there would be hope.... but ABC is all shlock.

Anyway, half the fun for us across the pond is that we get to giggle at the British portrayal of us. We see how similar we are, and also how different. Take for instance the Harry/Ruth relationship. Americans don't go in much for the "stiff upper lip" or quiet desperation thing. American tv would have had them in bed long ago. They will change it in ways that will take away from it's charm. It's all about ratings here.

I think if were an American series, I wouldn't enjoy it near as much.
