    Spoilers, do not read if you have not seen series 4 finale

    I love being human and was apprehensive about the fourth series missing two lead characters, but I stuck with it and I'm glad I did. Although not as good as the first three series it still had me hooked and the characters grew on me. But with Annie leaving I really don't think I can continue watching with none of the original cast and with new lead characters Hal, Tom and Alex.
    The original cast is why I feel in love with the show to begin with and I just don't like the characters as much. Hal is great, although fairly empty at time, I like Tom, although he seems lost, and Alex I don't really like at all, the character that is, she's kinda boring.
    I don't know if I should give this new show a chance?moreless

    Ill be straight i thought it was shite. i was hooked to the first 3 series the characters and humor were great i thought mitchell was brill when he was killed off i wondered if the others would be strong enough to carry it on.wnen i watched episdode 1 i soon realised they couldnt the new werewolf looks like hes fallin asleep all the time i think it should have been lelf after series 3 i watched it all but only on sky plus i just watched it whenever. i coulnt have done that before i had to watch it when it was on.i ended up not caring who dies . im gutted really was best tv prog evermoreless

    Great writing..The humor is not as great as the first seasons..bring some back. I like Tom, and Hal (i liked how they brought him in)..the new girl is okay..(her character needs a rude waking to the lifestyle.) They need to pick it up a little in the 5 series or it will be there last. What is it about that old little one that got away? Will they find her? The world was saved from the vampires but will they save it from werewolf's the next season? The show can go somewhere but for how long 2 more seasons or 3 then change the cast? They need to think about this. Sometimes change is good but you got to hear what your viewers are saying or no show. Annie oh I will miss her so! I hope she does more acting along with the original crew in other shows/movies.moreless

    I know a lot of people have been hating the new season but I really enjoy it! Yes, they got rid of all the characters I have loved for 3 years but I am really enjoying the funky weird humour that is coming out of the new characters and it's just fun. The scenes with Tom and Hal are brilliant! Besides it is quite common for British shows to get rid of their whole cast and start a new and it usually works out.moreless

    Having watched a few British programs over the years, I know that they can take bold and radical shifts and departures from both story and characters, often to great affect. But, this new season for me is too much of a departure from characters I grew to love despite their flaws and failings along the way. I've stopped following other shows that wiped the slate clean nearly, and this season may have me waiting on the sidelines for the conclusion to read whether the story pays off. Maybe we could get back what was lost, or maybe this is the new status quo, but I miss my vampire, my werewolf (and his love), and will miss my ghost.moreless
