I've only just started watching the original series and it's quickly become a favorite of mine. Alas, I'm fearing the worst for this US interpretation.
Just based on the ads, Selma Blair seems horribly miscast. To make matters worst, apparently the actress from the Oz version who created and stars as Sharon didn't give permission for the US version to include her character. Smart woman, but it leaves a gigantic gaping hole in the series, what with Sharon being awesome. (Actually I could imagine Rachel Dratch doing something interesting in that role.) Anybody else (not) anticipating this series?
