Advantages: the situation adds a new slant on everyday subjects
Disadvantages: only 6 shows long :o(
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 the way they are. I don't want to put too much information and spoil it but needless to say that their back stories play a major part in the big story of the series, which is that vampires are looking to take over the world and are fairly advanced in their plans to do so.
While the main characters are not typical for a comedy drama, it does make it very interesting when the show does tackle everyday subjects such as new relationships, love, hate and death.
This is a well written, well acted and brilliantly cast show, well worth a watch on iplayer.
Summary: This is a really good comedy drama, watch it now
