It's usually the case when the US copy something that worked something always goes wrong,be it comedy or drama,they can't pull it off.Take the show "Men Behaving Badly", which was funny but naughty, the US tried it,changed it, sanitized it until it no longer resembled what the show was about.That doesn't mean to say that the US doesn't have funny shows,far from it,"Frasier" "Everybody Loves Raymond","Just Shoot me","Third Rock From the Sun", the list is endless, but trying to emulate tried and tested, forget it. As for Kevin Spacey thinking he can come close to Ian Richardsons' portrayal of the wiley Prime Minister, as Francis Urquhart would have said,"You might say that, I couldn't possibly commemt"
