The American Life on Mars is a downgrade on every level. They really need to shoot off into their own direction and use the pieces they have as they can instead of trying to shoe horn them into the British shoes. The new Sam is bigger than Hunt! No wonder their dynamic is off. No one thinks Hunt can intimidate Sam in that way (or anyone else). I'd like to see them take their Sam in a different direction. This one doesn't seem to be able to pull off the complicated in the head stuff well. Then do something different. If new Hunt can't be like the old Hunt (US censors won't let him even talk correctly for one thing) let him go in his own direction.
