how can a show be in real time if one hour episode covers 1 day :P I think it's more like In Treatment than 24.
I haven't yet watched the original series from Denmark, but I'm planning to after this version.
Nan pointed out very well, that if I'd watch the original, the (so called AMC original) remake would suck in comparrison. So, I'll wait... I'm curious though! :P
In the trailer, Michelle is kind of... psycho... hope she hasn't got too big of a crying role X_X
