I know the writers of Being Human have watched the first series of the British version, so there's probably many twists down the line. However, "There Goes the Neighborhood, Part 2," is plain boring. The cliffhanger at the end of the first part is resolved instantly and the rest of the episode pretty much follows the British pilot (although, if I remember correctly, the fiance did have a girl with him when he went to fix the house).
The biggest problem, which sets Being Human a step or two below below Shameless, is that it does not have the energy or emotion of the original--partially because I know what happens, but also because the acting and chemistry isn't nearly as good.
Score: 7.2/10
