  1. This role is a great win for her. It builds into a important part in the later episodes.

    Given the cast they are putting together I am more encouraged to watch this.

  2. I know this is being made for the US market, as the ratings for the broadcaster will be a lot higher than the original series on BBC America, but international sales won’t be high as anyone who has seen the original will know who dunnit. I’d be keen to watch it if they changed the killer.
