Deja Vu
Holy COW, I was freaking out just a little, because I knew what was coming up next. I mean literally, scene for scene, right on down to the lady sliding down the wall by the water cooler. I was beginning to think I was in some sort of time slip, or a "glitch", or something similar. I knew - absolutely KNEW - I had seen this before, but it had been in English, and the show's theme wasn't Greek gods.
Looked it up, found out it's a remake of "Dead Set", and yup - that's where I'd seen it before. I've only watched the pilot so far, but other reviewers aren't kidding when they say it's a scene-for-scene remake. The characters even LOOK like the originals to a degree.
Anyway, glad I'm not in a time loop. I'll give this a go even if every single episode is a scene-for-scene remake, just because it's been awhile and it was good enough the first time that I don't mind watching again. It'll help me practice my Spanish, too.
If you didn't see "Dead Set", and either speak Spanish or don't mind subtitles, I'd definitely recommend this. It's pretty good all the way through.
