1. These Too, Probably…

Luther Black Mirror

Perhaps we’re getting ahead of ourselves, but just like the other remakes listed here, these seem destined to fail when attempts are made to translate them for American audiences.

Luther without Idris Elba simply isn’t Luther, and its the inherent British-ness of the series which has seen it embraced by viewers on both sides of the pond. Expect to see it become just another generic cop drama.

As for Black Mirror, it’s almost guaranteed to go the way of shows like Life on Mars and Gracepoint unless creator and writer Charlie Brooker is as heavily involved in this version as the UK one. Just keep your fingers crossed that neither of these go ahead.
