And this month, if what you want specifically to keep up with is a running tally of all the creative decisions CBS made in translating the BBC One sitcom, Ghosts, for its primetime American audiences, HBO Max is *especially* the place to be. If what you want to keep up with is British comedies (that aren’t Fleabag), though, HBO Max is the place to be. Well, more broadly, today’s audiences have streaming, which comprises a wide enough variety of services that just about anything can be accessed, from just about anywhere in the world, so long as you’re willing to shell out for another monthly subscription. Still, for as unremarkable as the American British remake has generally become over the last several decades, today’s Anglophilic audiences have something that their counterparts over the last several decades, critically, didn’t: HBO Max. Most, though, land somewhere in the middle. Others, meanwhile- Coupling, Skins, or (to my specific eternal disappointment) Taskmasters-prove to be absolute flops. Some find runaway success- The Office, American Idol, Veep, Three’s Company, Dancing with the Stars. It is at this point dead (ha) normal for American studios to mount remakes of popular British shows.
