I have totally just realised why I don't like Being Human US. I rewatched the first british episode and it hit me. First off, the US version is using loads of quotes from ours which is just like, you are putting no effort into making this different, it's exactly the same (except for the sister but we aren't even gonna mention that nonsence).
Secondly, in our first episode, they skip the getting to know each other, which is so tedious in the US version, and go right into, people can see Annie, and you already know she feel down the stairs.
Third, it has taken them 2 episodes to get to where we got in one. My guess is they are dragging it out so they have more episodes, so where ours is 6 eps, there's will be like 10.
Finally, the biggest thing, I didn't cry. It's simply that. I just can't connect. When that woman is killed by Lauren and Mitchell and George are there, I'm welling up because it's affecting Mitchell and George so much, but when this happens in the US version, and Aiden and Josh are with this woman, it doesn't affect either of them. Yeah they are kinda sad but it's like they hardly care. I can't connect to them in the way I did with Mitchell, George and Annie. I'll still watch it though lol.
