It followed the French version very closely. They used most of the same character names, and several of the actors look a lot like their counterparts. I was curious after watching the original, and I'm happy that they're following it closely instead of spoiling the concept with a loose interpretation. If it stays that way, this version will help me understand some of the things that I originally missed, or that got lost in translation.
The French version was very good. IMO it was much creepier, but it's only been one episode so that could change.
See, I tried to watch the French version and I found it a slog. Creepy, atmospheric...and booooorrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiing. I maybe gave up on it too soon. Good to know this is sticking to the same story so far. I saw Jeremy Sisto was on it...that guy just keeps working. Good agent.
