Follows the same plotline as the original series, as we already knew. Subsequent episodes will branch off from the original show’s story.
This trailer will premiere tonight on MTV during Jersey Shore.
It’s so bizarre to watch this all done again, only… “Americanized.” I feel something watching this, but I’m not sure how to describe it yet. Prematurely I would call it a feel that this is less interesting to me set here on these shores. It’ll be bizarre watching this because there’s a weird fascination with which parts they’ll take over exactly from the original show and where they’ll deviate. Seemingly the first episode will follow the original’s pretty closely. Though, from the trailer alone, little things that were changed for seemingly the sake of just changing them seem to bother me intensely. “Tony” translates to an American audience just fine, it seems. “Michelle,” as well. But Sid needs to become “Stanley,” apparently. Really?
Also, something about that kid playing Tony really bothers me.
