I have such low expectations of US re-imaginings of cult British TV 
series that I needn't have bothered watching any of it to realise that 
it would, to use the American term, suck.

It's the same thing as Hollywood's pointless remakes of classic films - 
why do they bother when the end result is always going to be compared 
unfavourably to the original.
