  • Just getting better and better!

    9.0
    Being Human(US) has actually been better than the UK version and it justs keeps getting better and better. Even though I still have issue with Josh and his constant passive-aggressive behavior and Nora is sort of a B#$*!, the show has been outstanding. Maybe, NBC should bring it over and pair it with Grimm. That way they would have a solid Friday block. Anyway, I hope Being Human receives more humane treatment from SyFy than Alphas received.moreless
  • Don't Mistake This For a Family Drama.

    9.5
    At first, I thought this show was going to be an ABC Family/7th Heaven type of show. Happy to say, I was totally wrong. I was never a werewolf/vampire fan. It's childish, I thought. But, this show has changed my entire stance on werewolf/vampire shows. This show has some of the best writing I've ever seen. I mean, the story- episode after episode- attacks you relentlessly with in-your-face drama. Many things you see from the first few episodes will connect in the later episodes. In terms of pure writings, I'd put this show up there with the likes of Breaking Bad- that's a high praise. The 3 main characters have such a tangible relationship that you can't help but enjoy, dialogue after dialogue. One thing to keep in mind- this show is definitely NOT for children.moreless

    Fantastic show!!!!!!!!! Every episode runs through so quickly. They should be 2 hours long. These writers are phenominal!!!!!!!
  • The American version of the UK hit tv series "Being Human". The show features a vampire, werewolf and ghost living together and trying to make the most out of their non-human existence by trying to be as "human" as they can.moreless

    I found the British version entertaining, but after a while I grew bored because there was just too much angst for my taste. I had reached my limit on the amount of whining I could tolerate and I lost interest in the UK version. Now that America is taking a stab at the series, I'm hoping they don't do it EXACTLY the way the UK did. So far, they've added more humor, action and suspense and I think Aidan's character is a bit more defined considering his interaction with the vampires. The female ghost, however seems to be as annoying as her british counterpart. So far, though, I'm still interested to see where America takes this series and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they don't go down the exact same road as the UK version. I think that's why the American version of Queer as Folk was better than the UK version. The writers toned down the whining/angst and breathed new life into those old characters. The writers of this show need to take a page out of their book in order to insure success.moreless
  • Realistically Brilliant

    9.0
    Finally an American TV show about vampires and werewolves that shows these things in a realistic light, minus the supposed romance that goes along with being a monster. I really appreciate how much emphasis the writer's put on how lonely and cursed it would be to live a life like that. I think the actors did a fantastic job of conveying those heartbreaking emotions and struggles.



    The only reason I'm not rating this 10/10 is because I felt that sometimes the show dragged on too much in regards to Aidan's struggles with Mother and vampire politics. In that regard, I enjoyed season one more than season two. Still, both seasons are wonderful and kept me wanting more right until the end. Thank God season 3 will be here in a couple of months.



    On a final note, I've yet to see the UK version, and I see that a lot of people are opposed to this American remake, but I still say give this version a try before you dismiss it entirely. For those of us who are tired of the worn out Twilight-type genre that has infiltrated TV and theatres, it's a refreshing show to indulge in.moreless
