Just out of curiosity: Has anybody here seen the 2013 remake? Is it worth my time?

I don't remember watching it, which is a bad sign: chances are I watched a bit of the first episode and decided "this is rubbish". The critics at the time seem to have agreed: Yes, Prime Minister panned by UK critics - BBC News[^] and it never reached a second season ...

So, did it deserve a second chance?
Original setup was brilliant though!

Nope, don't think so.
I suspect the original was just so well done that the remake couldn't live up - the reviews said it stole most of the jokes from the original but didn't pull them off as well.

It's a rare combo to have both script and delivery. 'Yes Minister' certainly had both.

Look what ya'll have made me do: Start watching the lot from episode one and on... When I should be working...

When I looked for the links, the first one that I saw was this: The Next Prime Minister[^]
