I've never seen any of the original. It's not clear to me if it aired here, even. Having seen the US pilot twice now (sort of--I kept missing the same parts), I'm not really sure I liked the story resolution, but I loved the lead characters. They had a very Mulder/Scully vibe without being clones of those characters. She's less uptight, and he's more...uninhibited. So, while I have my reservations about the crime-solving (which might be due to missing key scenes?), I loved the people. I'll definitely watch it again.
