edit: i don't know if it was mentioned before or not but there's a u.s. version now on showtime with william h macy as frank. could be good as well.
i've heard great things about the US version, it's apparently set in south side chicago
I watched the US version on Showtime. I think the season wrapped up about a month ago so it should be hitting DVD shortly. It started out good but kinda fell flat towards the end. I kept watching it even though i was starting to loose interest, I always seem to do that.
