After one episode, the verdict is that it's ok, but you're not missing much by not seeing it. I'm not sure I'll watch (m)any more.

It's certainly glossier visually. This Mitchell character (called 'Aidan' here, I suspect it's not a coincidence that's the name of the UK actor, ah, apparently it is deliberate) shaves and the others are more conventionally attractive, right down the supporting cast. The lighting design is more self-consciously 'film' like. Although the house is run down, it's located in a much more up-market area.

Episode one ends with the George character being followed down to the basement he is going to use to transform by his sister. She goes in, he sees her. Then there's a 'next week' preview, I stopped watching and went to the next one which starts, not unreasonably, with a 'what's happened' sequence.

Hang on, the door to the basement didn't close before the last episode ended… I go back to the first one to check.

Incredibly the 'next week' preview was in the middle of the fucking programme!?! WTF?!? Presumably this was originally either side of an ad break which the uploader has edited out (it's 43.30 minutes long, so would have been 'hour long' when broadcast) but even so… Take the person responsible out, kill them very slowly, resurrect them, and kill them again, even slower and more painfully this time. If this is going to keep happening, it really does make me less likely to watch more.
