Sounds very boring.

It is definitely different.

I had no interest in it and I've watched several trailers on it while watching regular BBC shows like Orphan Black. Most British shows and I include Dr. Who in that group, I have to keep captions on ,to understand what the hell they are saying. Some of the jargon, slang, and cultural references- including their historical references , don't translate well and the speed in which they talk is also hard to get. I also really hate the way they cut commercials in their programming. They sometimes abruptly just cut the scene and go to commercial and when they come back you feel like you missed something.
