Hope they keep the theme tune.

Ive not seen the original, just watched the new one today, found it generic, and uninspiring with a boring lead character.

same goes for new theme :D

It's pretty naff having them do different regional English accents (not necessarily their own) playing native Dutch people in Amsterdam. Might have worked 40 years ago, less so now. Branagh's Wallander was a bit naff for that reason, especially the disconnect when you see the clearly non-English written language still being spoken in English. Also falls down for being a bit crap after all that too, which Wallander wasn't.

Marc and Maimie were much better in Musketeers.
 
the reason is not mentioned why it was delayed
Probably realised it was utter shite and put it on the shelf for a time like now. ITV have done this in the past for a few obvious turkeys.
 
Watching the first episode. After the massive disappointment hearing the theme tune was hoping the story and acting would redeem, but not looking likely.

Cheers,

Nigel
