I love British TV, but I have not seen the original. I liked this show, especially the situation with the female cop. I'm a big fan of period pieces, so it is nice to have the 70s angle that the short-lived Swingtown thrived on.
Don't listen to those who have seen the original if you want to determine whether or not you should watch this show (unless you have seen the original and want to know if it compares.) I'm going to watch this show until it's over, then check out the original.
Awesome music (but kinda weak audio editing in the sense that they are just throwing in the music to have the awesome music and not really suit the scene), and O'Mara has been pleasing thus far. We need a little more of the subtle nostalgia of Swingtown, but other that, it's pretty good. (The nostalgia is based off of my dad and not me since I was -12 in 1973.)
Watch it.
