When Buffy is replaced by a cute british boy

Ok so i have started watching this new british drama/action/fantasy show called Demons, and as i have now watched two episodes i think that is enough to judge how this show is going to pan out in the series.

So its a vamp/demon hunter show. So it's a monster of the week format.

SO the story line is that a teenage boy (who is quite cute, but not as hot as the guy out of legend of the Seeker) is a regular teenage boy until his godfather shows up. His Godfather reveals to him that he is last remaining descendant of the Van Helsing line and it his duty to hunt the Demons, who in this show are referred to as Freaks. I'm not entirely sure why the Van Helsing line is located in England... but i'm just going to ignore that fact for the moment.
Oh and he has to hide what he's doing from his Mother... as she doesn't know, and she didn't know about her Husband doing it either.
There is also the love interest, who is a childhood friend and the main denies any feelings, that gets caught up in his escapades.
The Blind empath who can play amazing piano and is very knowledgable who is obviously going to fall in love with the main guy as well, with much scraging between the two women to ensue.
So its a pretty standard formula there. it really does sound very similar to Buffy, just British.

Acting wise its not very good. The Godfather has this awful american accent and so unconvincing. A lot of his lines are delivered wrong and sound very awkward. Actually all across the board i'm not that impressed with the acting. THis being said they are new characters so it may take another couple of episodes for them to settle into the roles. I'll have to wait and see.

Special effects wise its odd. The demons are either CG's in or done up in makeup... but the ones done up in make up look really dumb. Not sure what's going on there. Once again we'll wait and see if they get any better with the art direction of the series.

I think what erks me about it is the lack of backstory in the scripting. They write plot points in, but then it gets confusing because they says things about it and because they havnt fully explained its story. Point being the Priest that they go to for help in the second episode. apparently he's dead, but its hard to tell cause when the topic is bought up the anwser is vague as to wether he is or not.

All of this being said i'll probably still watch it. Its dumb entertainment really. something to watch when i don't need to think. I'm interested to see how it pans out. If they take into a more story driven narrative or if they keep it as monster of the week (more than liely the latter i'm thinking)
While the resemblance to Buffy is pretty apparent I don't think it will end up being a clone of the show. I am waiting for them to introduce some long lost cousin, who is inevitably better at Hunting than the main character, and will make him reconsider his need to hunt Demons. Maybe he will have some random religious related name *cough*faith*cough*
