Being Human: BBC or SyFy?

I'm in the middle of binge watching the SyFy Channel's version of Being Human. Fortunately, it's different enough from the BBC version to be enjoyable, but I still have to give the edge to the BBC's. What do you think?

SyFy had the advantage of using what did work and scuttling or transforming what didn't work. It became a better series, ultimately.

And I'm still pissed at SciFi for abruptly cancelling Farscape.

American versions of British TV are always crap as far as I'm concerned.
