Being Human is terrible, isn't it? The British version is so much better. It's funny, I think the American version tried too hard to be like the British version, and that's where it failed. Instead of reimagining it in America, they just copied it. Bad idea.
Also, Sam Witwer is no Aiden Turner (who plays the vampire in the UK version, see icon for details). He just doesn't seem like a vampire, if that makes sense.
I knew Aiden Turner played the vampire in the UK version (oh LJ hivemind knowledge... :D ) so I was laughing a lot at the US vampire being named Aiden.
I think you're right about the US version - not that I've seen the UK one like I said, but that seems to be the way with any US adaption. It takes them a bit to get their feet and make it their own. Which...sometimes succeeds and sometimes really, really doesn't.
Might have to finally give in and watch the UK Being Human now...
