But it is an epically good show.

Really? In the original he shoots the dog because she's old.
Haven't seen the remake but a huge fan of the original trilogy. I'm sure Spacey is very good, but Richardson is just demonic.

Mercy killing I can live trough.
I'd probably do it myself if my dog was fataly wounded by a car. And then the driver.

The US version is a very different story with several similarities but quite divergent from the UK version.

Foremost difference being the key difference between the US and UK political systems meaning that the US FU cannot immediately step into the top job as the UK FU could once he'd eliminated his opponents. The US story takes a number of significant other deviations which make it worth looking at as it's not a straight remake.

Do yourself a favour and take a look at it. The dog scene is literally right at the start of the first episode and doesn't cause a great deal of trauma for anyone watching.

I wish he'd done it a bit faster
Putting the dog out of his missery.
