I've been watching the original series since it was first released in America. This "reboot" is simply dreadful. The actors are all accomplished, but are painfully miscast.
Bernard should be a little mousy civil servant and here, he's as big as a professional wrestler.
The two other male actors might work if they had switched places.
Hacker was always reserved and stodgy of the two.
Sir Humphrey was more emotional and animated.
The woman is just there to please feminists -- which is fine with me -- but those roles are usually hollow or superfluous.
Look at it again and see if I'm not right. It almost made me sick to watch five minutes of this rubbish!
