It sounds a bit like this won’t exactly be a US version but a new show using the same format of seeing scenes from the characters POV and hearing their thoughts, in which case it might be alright.
I read the other day a US version of the quite good BBC sitcom Ghosts is being made and can’t quite work out why.
Another example that didn’t work for me is Murder in Successville. I watched a couple of episodes of the US version, Murderville, and found it completely lacked everything that made the original great.
But on a more positive note, having been a big fan of Shameless (at least the first four or five series) I can honestly say I loved the US version and in many ways prefer it. (And yeah, I know it’s not a sitcom)
