I'm a fan of the British version, too. Keitel just doesn't seem to fit this role. I keep thinking of a younger Nick Nolte in his place, but even that isn't the best alternative.
The British version had a poignancy to it, that sense of isolation in the main character, Sam, and portrayed the differences in the eras much better. You could just feel the character cringing at times...as though thoroughly modern man had been time warped back to Bronze Age or something equally brutalizing.
I'm still halfheartedly watching, but the differences are just too great.
