Being Human, the pilot: vampire Mitchell made me believe he was a couple-of-century-old vampire, and now something apart from humanity. I should watch that pilot again, I loved it so much.
Being Human, the series: vampire Mitchell was a lot more human. It was a different take on it. Not a bad one; just not the one I preferred.
( Being Human (US): vampire Aidan bores me to tears. )

I don't know if it's just me, but I don't think I'm going to keep watching.
