“The Hard Easy” opposite Henry Thomas, Bruce Dern and Vera Farmiga!
I have an irrational love-on for Vera Farmiga! (even if she is the kiss of death for series: Roar, UC: Undercover, Touching Evil)
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Touching Evil is dead? Damn, and other words to that effect. That was the only US remake of a UK show that has ever worked for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm curious about why it was cancelled. It stopped working for me when they failed to kill Will Tippin, but not-working-for-me and being on the air are hardly mutually exclusive.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Touching Evil is canceled? Sad now.

Who? moi??
The British Touching Evil was only on for a relatively short time. Guess the American version just ran out of scripts. In an interview on Michael Parkingson's show, Robson Green told about Bruce Willis calling him for the rights.
Upon reflection, it may be that Willis only bought a certain number of shows.

But if it was cancelled, as reported, someone had plans for it to go on longer. They knew that the British series was short when they started.

I thought that there were a couple of original episodes in there, weren't there?

The US series sort of cannibalised the UK one. Despite the fallout from previous episodes, the US was a killer of the week format. I think five US episodes were entirely original, but I don't remember any straight one-to-one plot duplications.
The US put a different spin on the coworkers, also. So can USA be all that profitable, putting all these new series into prodution, broadcasting them once, then not renewing? More importantly, can I blame the same executives who fired Bitty Schram?
