MAD DOGS
January 22, 2016  | By David Bianculli

Amazon Prime Video, 12:00 a.m. ET

 

SERIES PREMIERE: David Tennant did something quite unusual in the history of TV series adapted from overseas with new American remakes: He starred in both the original Broadchurch and the USA remake’s Gracepoint, playing the same character but with different accents. Well, starting today on Amazon, Ben Chaplin stars in this new Americanized (or Amazonized) version of Mad Dogs, after starring in the original British series of the same name. But this time, he’s decided to play a completely different role than the first time around. It’s about four guys whose vacation trip to an untouched wilderness in Belize turns out to be much more of an adventure, and much more potentially deadly, than they imagined. Think of it as Deliverance played for laughs – a few, anyway. Michael Imperioli and Steve Zahn co-star in this expanded American retelling, which begins today.
