You know what the first episode of the us Being Human reminded me?
Of how bad the first few episodes of the original were. Seriously - they probably should have started differently.
And of course, Sam Witwer is very pretty. Very pretty - but can he do the thing when Aidan becomes dangerous? I still have that question.
Thanks, Frank!
Being Human: I watched the ep last night, but don't see the point in continuing when I've seen it before. Even the preview at the end made it seem like they were just rehashing the UK stories.
I don't think Witwer will have trouble with dangerous. It's the chummy jocularity with Josh that he's falling flat on so far. So many missed opportunities when talking him into the roomie situation, in front of the landlord, during the housecleaning montages, etc. He really only made that connection in the scene where he picked Josh up from the park, and if he hadn't managed a bit of levity when faced with Sam Huntington in a flower print dress I'd have started wondering if the actor was one of the undead as well.
It's true: this version of Being Human doesn't get the comedy. Timing is difficult.

Dying is easy; comedy is hard.
To be fair, the pilot of The Middleman felt off to me. It took a few episodes for the actors to get used to Javi's style of dialog and get their timing down, but once they did, it was hilarious.
