My brother's been downloading the original off iTunes and has been enjoying them. I always worry about American remakes of British shows... they don't always turn out so well.

@Ducky:

Heh, wonder if she'd try watching this new version or be like "BLASPHEMY!" :P

My aunt is obsessed with Being Human. I watched a few episodes with her once -- it wasn't as bad as I was expecting (partly because my expectations drop like a newborn giraffe whenever I hear the word "vampire" these days).

@Nehszriah:

Well, it's got it's own sense of humor to it, but it's not a straight comedy. And judging from the ad, the SyFy version won't be either.

This actually sounds vaguely amusing. I hope it's not supposed to be a comedy, because then it will be even more hilarious.

SyFy "quality" for the losswin.

@Katana:

Yeah. And advertising it as an "all-new original series"... Bogus, guys!

I have vague interest in the original. It isn't bad and proves to be mildly entertaining whenever I watch it.

But Syfy's getting it? Egh...ouch.
