It was actually quite a good series, but it's link to Minder actually detracted from it due to the comparisons. As a standalone show, about a dodgy character it was beleivable and entertaining and good, but it would never be able to be compared favourably, even with £100million budget. Whatever they did, it would only be compared badly. A silly decision by the executives really.
@chrisbitz Yes i agree! People just compared this to Arthur and Terry and thought this was a direct remake to Minder but it was a next generation of Minder as Shane Richie played Arthur's nephew. Shame this didn't get a second series!
Totally agree Andrew. Great series! It doesn't detract from but complements the old series. Nice tribute. Shane & Lex make a fab partnership. Really hoping there's a 2nd series. Prefer the new theme tune to the old one actually.

The old opening was filmed better.
And the singer sounds too American.

The cover of the theme tune lacks the punch and vocal of the original. Basically, the musicians are just not as good.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

It's rubbish! The best thing Shane Richie ever did was the Daz doorstep challenge!

"It started in 1979, it ran for 15 glorious years, and was sold to 70 countries worldwide".
Honestly, if a show it that good, DON'T do a remake!

Good, but not as good as the original sung by Dennis Waterman.
