there was a British version filmed for BBC in 1990 (and 91 and 92 on assumes since it is 3 seasons). It is also quite good. It made some different decisions than the American version so it is very much its own show.

I watched the original when it first aired on Masterpiece Theater and as I have said ad nauseum, it is one of my favorite series ever. I think it is superb. The ending blew me away. I did watch the US version and did like it and am looking forward to the next season.

(17,055 posts)So far I like the American/Spacey version better than the original British version.
I watched the Spacey one first and am about half way thru the British version that I had never seen before. It's funny because normally I think the Brits do a much better job of it than we do. Just not this time for me.
However, I intend to finish the whole British series and I think it is pretty good. I agree with you that it's very much its own show.
