A whole series with old money, New England Katherine Hepburn type accents? I like. There was a time where America had really posh accents. I hope they can recapture that.

This doesn’t sound like an American re-make. The creator is just doing a show set in America, during the same time frame. The title says “counterpart” for a reason. I trust the creator to do it justice. And just a note: everyone has an accent, even us Americans.
