Surprised. I would have thought it too "downbeat" for American TV producers. "Life is shit, then you die" is not the sort of message I ever see on US TV shows.

I don't blame them. I'm from south England, and those northern accents confuse me too!

(My mother was actually a little afraid of the north, and I don't think I ever went further than the midlands while she was alive. Shame really, there are some nice places up there - although I'll kill you if you tell anyone I said that!)

As you know we have been in a great recession the last 8+ years except for those in the 1% so the "Life is shit, then you die" I believe rings true for many Americans now. Could be why the American version is entering season 6 according to the link Greenie provided.
