i watched it. pretty much hews to the same template as the us version though perhaps more so to the original which i havent seen. but the starkness of the southwest landscape and the cultural divide between texas and mexico to my mind make the american iteration more poignant. also the characters around the periphery are more sharply drawn. the actors populating this one seem culled from any procedural where in the us they are uniquely odd. and, i hate to say it, but the aspergeriness of the lead female detective is downplayed to a degree which while i had my misgivings about it gave the character some genuine depth.
