Watched the 1st episode of Being Human

Well...

Don't expect too much about this series in my journal. The pilot was interesting enough, but this episode didn't do much for me. Maybe I shouldn't have seen them back to back, because really, the original cast is just so much more interesting! And there's not enough interaction between Mitchell and George in here.

I've uploaded two small clips to YouTube. Examples of scenes with a different cast.

I'm not giving up just yet, but my expectations aren't really high.

From what I understand the 'original' Mitchell and Annie weren't available anymore for the series. Quite some time passed between the pilot and the moment they got the ok to make a series. Straight after this pilot was the pilot for dis/connected. If that would have been continued, they would have found Bradley not available for that series either... :D

Oh, and I think I'm one of the very few for whom Adrian Brody doesn't have any appeal.

I think that happens a fair bit between pilot and pickup.

I think the actor playing Mitchell is more attractive than Adrian--I was thinking along the lines that he has that intensity and charisma, plus the angular bone structure that Adrian has. I do think Adrian Brody is an amazing actor.
