Disappointing

TinTin-6

I had seen the American version first and wasn't impressed at all.  In fact I hated it... and I'm gay!  All what those people were doing was having sex and getting high every five minutes.  My partner then told me he had seen the British version and how much better it was.  The characters seemed more real and although the stories were the same, they seemed, to him, more realistic.  So I rented them. The first episode was okay. For one, I liked the British Hazel (Vince's mom) better than the American one. As well as Nathan's mom who in this version seems more comfortable with her son's gayness than the American is.  But I didn't like any of the main characters. They didn't seem to have any goals in life than just clubbing, having sex and getting wasted.  Boring.  Then came episode two.  Worse!  They killed off the only character I liked when he dies of a drug overdose (he survives in the American version). But I did watch every single episode til the very end, hoping something would happen on the screen which would make me say: "Well, it wasn't that bad after all."  But that, unfortunately never happened....
