You get settled in, enjoy whats shaping up to be a great series, look forward to seeing what happens with the characters once they're introduced ... aaand the writing trips over it's own feet and faceplants into the ground like so many defeated enemies.
What's the worst one out there, and what happened to it?

It’s not Brotherhood, just Full Metal Alchemist. Brotherhood was made in response to what a mess the original series was. Fans largely pretend the original series never happened and just tell people to watch Brotherhood instead.

Aside from being more accurate to the manga, Brotherhood is darker and more geared for an older audience than the original show was.

I would say the same, Brotherhood is best. But one episode changes it for me a little; Nina. I think the first took their time with this arc, while the second didn't hit as hard. It's been a while though, I'm not sure the first series is worth it beyond Nina.
