Go with the UK, if you're only going to watch one.

The US apparently got better once they ran out of UK stories to adapt and went totally their own way, but it's really terrible early on. (I'm especially annoyed by the Buffy-ization of the vamps.)

Also, yes...the cast is hotter, and far less bland looking, for the most part. (The ghost girl being the only exception...I think the American one is much more interesting looking, while the British one is a sort of bland 'generic pretty'.)

Buffy-ization of the vamps?

How so? I love Buffy and Being Human (US) and I don't see how their vampires are alike outside both are savage killers without a sparkle in sight.

The UK vamps were pretty traditional, in the line of Dracula or Carmilla - they had a few tells and a couple odd weaknesses, but mainly were just immortal and fed on human blood, which you would never know if you just passed one in the street.

The US ones added the fang-face ('garlic makes us look like us'). IIRC, to their credit, they kept the ability to walk about during the day, instead of going the 'Vampires are nocturnal by nature, therefor sunlight kills them' route that's been treated as canon since Nosferatu.

Wait. The UK one had the same faces as the US one. Fangs and black eyes.

The difference I see between the US and UK vampire is that the US vampires are far more vicious than the UK ones. The US ones are monsters. They don't seem Human at all. (The Amish vampires eating through that one vampire's neck for example was extremely brutal and animalistic.) The UK ones are more like mobsters with a strange eating addiction disorder.
