Being Human (2011–2014)
3/10
The original British version is much better.

I fell in love with the original version of this show. I can understand why they needed it to have a little more appropriate content but I felt like I was just watching the watered down Hollywoodized version of the original. I have never been able to understand why they make remakes of things yet change the characters names even though we know who they were in the other version. They didn't change the plot very much and in fact the beginning scene with Aidan practically mirrors the original. I have a friend who watched the pilot of this version and she said she felt as though she was watching one of the episodes from later in the season, because she felt that nothing was fully explained. They added random stuff (Josh's sister) but they didn't keep in the stuff that needs to be in a pilot. I found that I was disappointed with Aidan's(Mitchell-original) overall look. I am so tired of vampires that looked different from normal humans. He is all pale, broody, and gives off hind of creepy bad guy vibe. The British version is slightly more sexual, without nudity, and violent than this one but if you think that you are mature enough to get past that, then I think that it would be more beneficial to experience the show in its true and greatest form.
