That Brooklyn 99 remake
Turns out there’s just about to be a French-Canadian version of Brooklyn 99! Almost shot-for-shot and all.
I stumbled across tweets about this yesterday, the same day the last episode of Red Dwarf: The First Three Million Years aired and discussed the extremely ill-advised American version of Red Dwarf. You know, the one where they whitewashed everybody Last Airbender-style. (Craig Charles has some thoughts on it. Thankfully it never made it past the pilot stage.) So gah, my very first, pre-actually-watching-it reaction to this was “See America, it’s not so fun when someone else remakes your show, is it?!” But that’s probably unfair, especially since this version is whitewashed too, what with Amy and Rosa no longer being Latina. SO I would frankly prefer no more remakes or adaptions of this kind please, ever again.
