Aw, cool. I did quite enjoy S1 of the 2008, but it turns out on watching the 1975 that what I liked were the things they fixed and changed the most, and my frustrations with it were exactly what the 1975 did right.
It does come with the caveat that there will be something (probably lots of somethings and many of the men) you'll want to shout at it for before the end even more than is usual for elderly TV, but I have a lot of respect for its head-on tackling of the apocalyptic fall out - and I do love Carolyn Seymour's Abby Grant, and also Jenny and Ruth. (I'm retrospectively pissed off now that they cast Freema Agyeman as Jenny in the 2008 and then killed her in the first ep just to go SURPRISE! at the 70s fans, because Jenny is the key character in the end, and that would have been perfect. I might have forgiven it everything else!)
