Being Human: thumbs down

[alexandral]

I finally sat down to watch new "Being Human", it took me a while because I was a little afraid knowing that two out of three major characters are played by different actors than in the pilot. I was so right to be afraid - the magic is gone, permanently gone. I might get used to it and I might even like "Being Human" again as a background show, but I don't think it will ever be anything out of ordinary.
I don't even know what I like less:
- new Mitchell (totally lacking any charisma),
- new Anne (totally lacking any cuteness)
- or the new writing and cinematography (cheery and cliche ridden).

New Mitchell: the hat, the training jacket (colour coordinated with the hat), the bad acting:

What, why would they change all of the major cast? I can understand some changes but a whole over-do just seems very odd. I haven't seen the show or the pilot, though. Just .. what an odd move!

Indeed!! I don't know why they did it. I imagine a situation where one actor couldn't take part in the series but two? And not even two - they changed the main baddie too who was so much yummeir in the pilot. So odd!
