Forbrydelsen seems easy enough to track down online - probably helped by the fact that it's on DVD over here now. We're getting AMC's version on a different channel at some point - they were teasing it last night but I can't say I'll be watching. Reading on TWOP hasn't exactly changed my mind about its quality, in fact if anything, people who enjoyed it to start with on there have ended up taking the piss out of it remarkably quickly.
What I do find interesting is the number of people who are clamouring for it to be an episode of the week, Linden/Holder partnership show. So the very thing that made it different - the one case investigation - is the thing that people just aren't taking to. Meanwhile, Forbrydelsen was twenty episodes long and you just didn't want it to end! Suggests AMC have dropped the ball somewhere along the line. I personally didn't get much of a Euro vibe from it. I think chalia got it spot on over on her lj when she said AMC had taken the original idea but couldn't resist hopping it up on crack a bit. That's exactly how it came across in comparison!
