Hee! I've never thought of the shows in relation to each other, so this was an interesting comparison. I was a bit too amused by "Mrs. Hudson’s role is...sort of taken over by a pack of rescued dogs", which, ow. I have to say that although I watch and enjoy it (I'm on ep 8, so a bit behind with everything) it doesn't really have any 'heart' for me, as you've mentioned. There's Jack and Bella, who come closest, but I don't really feel anything for anyone. I watch for the stunning/horrible visuals and for creepy Mads, who I don't know from anywhere, but he's fascinating. I just find Will vaguely... annoying, and don't get me started on the eye-rolling I did at Alana *g*
Edit: By which I meant the relationship stuff, not the gender-bending, which is good.
