Anyone else seen this?

It's pretty good, obviously american-ised a lot of it, as they do.

BUT

The ending of it is totally offit, and it couldnt actually be anymore different to the english version if they tried...

Basically...

(Tell you what i'll let wikipedia describe it cos that much goes on!!)

At the end of the series, it is revealed that Tyler's 2008 and 1973 realities were both fictitious, created by the onboard computer of a spacecraft that is carrying Tyler, Hunt, Norris, Carling, and Skelton on the first ever manned mission to the planet Mars, in 2035. The crew he worked with in 1973 were just virtual reality versions of his fellow spaceship crewmembers. His room number, "2B", is his sleeping unit; his old precinct, "Hyde", and his new precinct, the "125", are based on the name of the spacecraft - "Hyde 125"; his neighbor, Windy, is the name of the computer A.I.; Frank Morgan, an FBI agent in the series, is the Mission Control flight director. To sustain the crew, their minds were routinely kept active while asleep using virtual reality "neural stimulation" programs of their own choosing, but Sam's choice of a scenario where he was a police officer circa 2008 was abruptly changed to a 1973 setting by a meteor-storm induced glitch in the computer.

It's very hard to get into and it took me about 3 episodes.

You just sit and constantly compare it to the british version.

They've taken a british drama and basically 'csid' it up a bit.

Their version of the office was okay, however when you come to their version of the war and other historical events......
