It looks very much like this remake suffers hardly because it was produced in US. The tv series called Episodes comes in mind when I think of how it all could have gone so wrong. This remake saddly doesn't have a clue what made the original show so good. Like a lot of US adoptions - they are masters in imitating but very so often miss the point.
It was simplicity that made the original - the abbilitie to be entertaining for 20 minutes while only having 3 sets and couple of camera angles. All these restrictions made the writing so much better and every word count. Pure magic.
I understand that US viewer has to see some action, but they ruined the whole basing of the show by adding the action. It made it all read awkward because it had some action but not enough to make it interesting in that sense. It turned from something original into a poor man's Brooklyn Nine Nine. And whomever cast Cristin Milioti in a role that was clearly ment for Anna Kendrick did a very poor job. Milioti playing Frankie is simply unconvincing. Also somehow they managed to make the showcreator one of the least likable characters in the show while the dynamics in the original show were somewhat different.
If only they had but the american dollars into the original and just produced more episodes with that extra budget. Although they don't speak american english in the original when I come to think of it now - nevermind, couldn't been done then.
