Similarly, in the second episode, a series of scenes that built up excruciating tension in the French version have been exchanged for a firefight that relieves tension in the U.S. one.Martian and his colleagues work out of a gorgeous new building in the British capital that is shaped like a gemstone; this London field office of the CIA has floor-to-ceiling windows.’s DGSE‚ by contrast, worked out of a heritage building that was ugly and located in an unfashionable arrondissement of Paris.
The leads on the French series were not bad looking but they and their lovers weren’t necessarily contenders for the Most Beautiful issue of People magazine. The same can’t be said for Jodie Turner-Smith, the British actor who plays Martian’s lover on, or Richard Gere, who here plays the director of intelligence – and, come to think of it, actually is a former Sexiest Man Alive.
