As always, I'm fairly pessimistic when it comes to Americanized remakes of BBC shows. The urge to 'retool' usually results in destroying what made the show fundamentally enjoyable (Coupling, anyone?).
Blackpool was a great BBC drama entirely because of an outstanding cast, which included the amazing David Tennant, David Morrissey, and Sarah Parish. It is unlikely that the US (and CBS!) will be able to reproduce the chemistry that is essential to making this concept work.
For my vote, watch the original and see that the Brits are more than capable of producing entertaining television.
