Being Human

**Introduction** It's been a while since I reviewed a Television series on here so I thought I would change that. Although I am not the biggest watcher of television drama series. Every now and then there comes along a series which I watch and recently there was another to add to the list. "Being Human" which is shown on BBC Three. The original Being Human pilot first aired on BBC Three in February 2008 and there was then a series in early 2009 which also aired on the same channel. The show was written by Toby Whitehouse, Rachel Anthony and Brian Dooley and was directed by Colin Teague, Alex Pillai and Toby Haynes. **Being ...  Read the complete review

This is your everyday drama you know, werewolf and a vampire move into a house which is lived in by a ghost. In all seriousness the idea behind the show works well. I watched the feature length pilot of this show and really enjoyed it, it took a while for the series to come out but was happy they hadn't changed it much from the pilot. The idea is that a vampire and a werewolf try to lead a normal life and blend in with the town, the house they have rented happens to be haunted by a ghost, so the 3 of them live together. Early in the series what you get is essentially and episode on each of the characters that explains how they ended up ...  Read the complete review

I'd heard of Being Human from an 'alternative' site I occasionally went on. It intrigued me, but I hadn't seen it on BBC3 - I didn't have digital so I assumed I couldn't miss what I hadn't had (or seen) in the first place. I was wrong. The series is about your average 20-somethings - Mitchell and George, hospital porters, move into a house already situated by Annie. The hitch is this: Mitchell is a vampire, George is a werewolf, and Annie is a ghost. You can see why it was on BBC 3 now, can't you? Really though, disregard the synopsis - this show is funny, sweet though edgy and tense at times. The characters, though fitting ...  Read the complete review

In a normal suburban area of Bristol, there is an average house with three very special occupants. This TV series is about a vampire, werewolf and ghost. The three of them are thrown together out of their circumstances and are just trying to get on with their lives (or afterlives in one case). Mitchell is a vampire who now works in a hospital and is doing his best to resist the temptations for human blood. George is a geeky guy who works with Mitchell in the Hospital, but every time the moon is full her turns in to a werewolf. Annie is a former occupant of the flat who fell down the stairs and died and is now stuck in the house until she resolves the issues with her ...  Read the complete review

Being Human Series One: I was first attracted to Being Human when I discovered it was set in Bristol. I live near Bristol and have lived in Bristol in the past and it is a place dear to my heart. I watched mainly to see if I recognised any of the places, (which I did), and I ended up really enjoying the pilot, (it was about two years ago I think), and when the new series came on I was delighted, (especially because they had re-cast everyone apart from George), and I got the DVD of the series as soon as I could. When my parcel arrived, (I got it online), I couldn't wait to sit and watch it all in one go. The case is nice and quite clever really with a hint ...  Read the complete review
