Imagine how cool it would be to see trailers for a movie, people go to seperate theaters to see it, and different theaters play a different "side" of the movie, so you techically watched the same movie as the guy across town, but he saw the other side of it.
if it didnyt piss off too many people, it would make a buttload of money. because peopel would be watching it twice, at least.

That's more or less the exact concept I was trying to get across. The fact that there is never one single story, and it all depends on whose side you tell it from.
In fact, it could quite easily develop further, using more characters. What debate it would encourage if we were shown a series from the point of view of all the different characters - it would completely blur the usually well-defined 'Good guy / bad guy scenario. Conceivably you could have different groups of viewers who always watch their favourite character's point of view - it would be brilliant, and the potential for character development is enormous. Sadly it's probably a logistical nightmare, if not impossibility, however.
