Comments and Reviews

23skidoo 16th Sep 2015		This show's been on my to-watch list for years and I've never seen the remake. Anyone seen both? How do they compare? I've heard mixed messages that the film might be better than the TV series, while I've seen the series itself called "best series ever" too.
