It wouldn't succeed on NBC or any of the networks. It will only work on cable. Would have failed in an episode or two on network TV. I don't expect it to be as funny as the BBC version. I saw a couple of commercials for it lately, and it sounded pretty sterile. If they can't punch it up in the ads, how interesting can the show be? I'm guessing they won't be trying to copy the original too closely.
