Thanks! The red hair was throwing me off.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So they dropped that and Community from their midseason schedule, and that's being shut down....

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Bummer. I liked that show.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

NBC's assurances do not make me happy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought the show was a waste of whatever rights they were paying the UK, though. It had nothing to do with the original series. No throughline at all. Nothing save names.
But it was becoming a decent cop drama. They were getting less thoroughly unlikeable.
NBC, you're on the list.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
apparently the first couple of episodes did borrow plots from the original. I wouldn't know because I didn't care for the series that much.
I agree though, that the series didn't even have a passing resemblance to the originary.
