Review of Being Human

After watching a few episodes of the BBC series, I found its development unbearably slow, and its scripting and acting equally unappealing. It was in a word, boring. However, I did like the basic concept. When ScyFy decided to present a North American version, I was willing to give it a try. The acting and writing are night-and-day better than the BBC production. The stories move along at a decent pace developing the characters in a way that the BBC series never did for me. I actually feel something for their plight, where I felt no connection at all with the British characters.

I have read a lot of what I consider misleading reviews from Anglophiles denigrating the North American series and applauding the British version. This is why I felt obliged to write this review presenting an opposing opinion.
