Yes, I have been watching.

 *spoilers*

The first episode did seem very much like the first episode of the
original, but there were a few subtle differences -- Louisa and Marks'
involvement level is different, and it sounds like there is a bigger story
behind how Martin developed his fear of blood.

The previews for the rest of the season make it look like at least one
other storyline will be taken directly from the original but it was not a
first-season storyline... it was one from towards the end that temporarily
removed him from practice.

I am looking forward to seeing where this version goes.
