Agreed. I bought both seasons on DVD and the original soundtrack for both seasons, then sent all my friends a copy of the DVD/Bluray for Christmas. I wish there was a better way to support projects you like though. In particular microtransactions on the Net are total fucking shit, it needs to be built-in to OS or Browser as a universal standard and simple.
> I heard they will make a US version.
I'm afraid not. That was David Fincher/HBO and it's not going ahead.
I heard they will make a US version. If it's like Shameless US, I'm all for it, but usually US remakes tend to make a bad copy that also stretches out for no reason. I really like the British and Australian format of a few dense episodes rather than 12 or 22 US episodes where it's 60% filler material. However, if it isn't story driven, then making 22 episodes is ok.
After the bad US copy of Rake tanked, the Australian original got a 3rd season, and it's likely to get a 4th one, so sometimes studio heads make sound decisions.
