We started last night, and the differences are pretty much what you would expect. The US version is more perfect technically, more direct and brutal, more primitive, giving you a MORE PERFECT entertainment, with less brain required.
The Brits are typical Brits, with subtlety and more style, to the point of being boring. The Mrs fell for it right away, I am being gradually pulled into it. Their "Zoe" is far better than "our" Zoe, and where it was an instant "It is $50 for blowjob" type of exchange in our version, the Brits are still doing the mating dance, with an undeniable tension and anticipation.
All in all, I think everyone who liked the US version should look at the original.
