I know this is very late, but I agree with you that the Swedish/Danish version is great (I've been watching it a lot lately), and I thought I should put a good word in for it too.So I watched the first episode as well. I thought it was pretty ok.
There was a fair share of things I could relate to with her, though it irked me somewhat how she is being told "don't do this" and "do this" by her boss at the policestation. But maybe that's just me being an aspie who is not interested in being told what to do. On top of the fact that I felt that I agreed with how she did certain things. Being told, even if it's a fictional story "You can't do that" just felt kinda wrong to me. It seemed that no matter how rational you can be, there's always this change for people to tell you it's wrong. It just made me realize more that "we" apparently act less out of emotion, at least judging from the show.
I did however think some stuff came across as an exageration a bit. As an aspie you recognize a lot of things in such a character, but it kinda felt like they had to go that extra mile to make it really obvious how "weird" she was.
Maybe I'm biased in that I'm not that big of a fan of remakes, but I felt the original (the swedish/danish one) had a more subtle approach.
