I think Greg Kinnear does it better. This is exactly lie the other version, just now the situation seems a bit more likely, and the characters are so much more diverse. This is the Anti-hero who never quite works the hero part out. The actual story is too lose, and free, and never quite makes sense on a time scale, but it is great fun watching Kinnear weasel his way out o these situations, and still get his job done, I am almost expecting Franklin and Bash to show up, but that's another network. I Enjoyed this first episode, and think that if they keep the pace then we will have a fun show. I do recommend this over the original which is not a normal thing especially since Australia has been putting out so much great stuff lately, but it just falls more to the Americans on this, I think it must really just be Kinnear. You get to decide for yourself though that is really the best part.
Review of Rake
Rake
(2014)
Not solid, but a solid 8. The framework has been ported over, now they just have to fill it in better.
