in a phrase and moral ambiguity . in the soderbergh remake and there be good guy and bad guy . benicio del toro character be clearly the good guy and morally clean and uncorruptable . his counterpart in the bbc original and fazal the farmer turn dealer and be realistically flaw and conflict over his fate . the two relentless cop be similarly different . in the american one and they win our heart . in the bbc original and they be over zealous and nearly obsessive . the best moment for me in soderbergh be when the college student rhetorically ask the drug czar and what would you do if you be poor and black and rich white people come into your neighborhood look for drug . that point be insinuate throughout the bbc show and and crystallize in jack lithgow final speech . both be excellent and but the bbc tower over the remake . my conclusion after see both show be that dealer be innocent pawn who be only supply a demand and and it be the demand that cause so much suffering .
