To be honest it looks pretty good in it's own way. I know people are going to bitch and moan (the slashers in particular) but LoM in particular is something that has to be changed to resonate with it's US audience - it's all about nostalga remember, and I think they have got the look spot on for 1973 American Cop shows, remember at that time while we had the sweeney they had Kojak. The show needed to be translated for a mass audience over there.
Its going to be a different dynamic and thats a good thing - plus I suspect David E Kelly is planning on a traditional US format (ie 20 episode season) so it will be a different show - and I like the idea on the Colm Meaney take on Gene Hunt. It's a David Kelley show, so yes theres bound to be more humour, but as a huge fan of Boston Legal, the Practice and even Ally McBeal i'm more than prepared to give it a shot rather than shoot it down before it even starts (people are doing it with this and the new B7 - and they did it with Galactica). Theres always room for a new take on something - if its crap its crap - but don't prejudge).
