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:

I haven't dared watch this because of the recast and that picture of new!Mitchell isn't exactly hopeful. Why oh why did they recats it? The old pilot was perfect!

I have now idea why they thought that removing every ogiginality from the series is a good idea. They also removed Adrian Lester!!!!
