    "Perfect"
    By Wolfinyoureyes, May 18, 2012
    Overall I think the show in general regardless of which version we're discussing is the most unique and creative series I have ever seen. I like that for once Vampires and werewolves are shown able to get along and even be friends, and their ability to converse with the dead is also a new twist from what I have seen anyway. All the storyline comparison is starting to get on my nerves actually, why is it such a big deal? I believe that even in the first season the US is doing a terrific job of taking it in their own direction. The presented the first season story lines in significantly different ways and even left some of it untouched, like the ghost character wanting to be the perfect wife and doing all this stuff like cooking and setting out his clothes at his place. In the second season and probably on they completely left the British storyline and when in their own direction.

    I find in what I have seen so far in both versions that you can feel more drama in the US version, that the US characters seem to go through a lot more which tests the boundary line between who they are and who they want to be. The supernatural atmosphere is also stronger, Aidan is lot more frozen in his birth era than Mitchell and the ghost more separated from the earth. The fact that Annie can touch and be so easily seen as though alive makes no sense to me. The werewolf design in the US is also a brilliant combination of wolf like facial features and a human body figure, as opposed to the British Halloween costumes. I enjoy the British characters and adaption though just the same despite that the US characters capture me more, Aidan in particular. Sam Witwer is probably the first actor to ever make me feel so strongly for a character. Aidan's reaction to Bernie's death for example just melts me.
    I look at each version as an individual personally as I do with any adaption. Comparing just sets one up for disappointment. I have got to say though if they kill off Adian like they just killed off Mitchell in the British version at the end of season three I am going to be pissed and may lose my will to watch.

    Terrible acting, removal of anything intelligent to make it more "emo", lacking in comedy. This is one of the most terrible things I have ever seen!

    My favorite show this year after stumbling over it and having a weekend marathon watchning the first season's episodes a couple weekends ago. After the seeing the entire first season, I tried the less edgy, original UK version, but totally disliked it and the actors in it, alas.

    I see a lot of different rating on the board mostly because comparing it to the UK. I only watched this one I'm glad they made a US version and I'll even be glad they make different country versions after that. The show is very different and unique so everyone can understand this beautiful well made show is changing it a little so other countries can get the message. Vampire, Werewolf and Ghost living in the same roof is very unique and different. I enjoy the characters they are funny and great to watch how they stick up for each other. The 3 of them bond like they been friends for decades, their all trying to be normal and live normal lives. But, things seems harder or getting harder to that goal and more obstacles comes their way. But, at each obstacle they know they got each other back, and a lot of character development that I really enjoy watching and understanding how these characters work. There is still a lot of room for improvement, I probably won't look at the other version until after the series ends. Out of experience I don't like clouding my judgement between 2 version of the same shows, out of fairness I'll watch how this show progresses and after it ends I'll look at the following version. Than give a concise review between the 2 shows.moreless

    "Terrible"
    By pampee1328, Feb 12, 2012
    Being human uk is the worst vampire series i have ever watched in my life. its so f**king ***ed i feel like i am gonna puke. i prefer the us version way better and i am not american. The us version has way better special effects while the uk version has none. How can u claim ur ghost or a vampire but u don't actually move fast like one. u just walk around like human beings ( come on don't you guys watch trueblood or vampire diaries).
    for instance, just look at the bishop kill in the final of season one; it was sooooo epic!!!!!!!. it gave me the feel of true blood (which is epic).moreless
