7. Gracepoint
What was the point of this remake? On the surface though, it had all the right ingredients to be great. The creators of Broadchurch were involved from a creative standpoint, and the cast included Breaking Bad’s Anna Gunn alongside former Doctor Who David Tennant (who also starred in the UK version, but as a different version of the same character bafflingly).
Despite promises of a different ending, Gracepoint still paled in comparison to Broadchurch, and the response from critics and viewers alike was tepid to say the least. With season two of Broadchurch also receiving mixed reviews, perhaps the first season was just a fluke?
Whats odd is that most of the british shows we’re commissioned as direct rip offs of US shows. Coupling was the UK friends, Cold feet the UK Thirtysomething, Life On Mars just a nostalcic homage to Starskey And Hutch with an ironic noughties twist. Luther is just a generic HBO style cop proceedural. Black Mirror is basically just a UK Outer Limits. All we did was make their own templates feel original. They put the cart before the horse and made it a camel. A brand name slapped on a shops own brand.
You’re an idiot.
Not even 300 years of modern history & your’e using the same old fictional bull crap “America is the best at everything”.
How many times have you Yanks ripped British television off? How convenient of you not to mention that.
Bow down and and say hi to your daddy.
Suck it up.
