I finally acquired the boxed set and found a chance to watch.
I agree it is sort of comforting and watchable; I have been enjoying it. At least I have right up until I started Series 05. The scripts in this series are really dreadful, even compared to those of earlier seasons, most of which are merely mediocre.
That said, The Upper Hand is light years better than the American original. For reasons which now escape me, I saw every episode of that when it was being aired. Some of the scripts are pretty well the same stories so perhaps The Upper Hand is not really to blame.
In any case, nice to see another McGann brother. No idea what other things he's done but I think it's the male child actor who now works in a restaurant. That could be wrong information...not sure where I read it.
I hope for an improved Series 06.
