Being Human

I love BBC! This show, Being Human, is actually pretty good! I have seen about 4 or 5 episodes now and this show is really starting to grow on me.

The show is about a werewolf (George), a vampire (Mitchell) and a ghost (Anne) that all move in together. The Werewolf and Vampire move into this house where this woman was killed and they are the only ones that can see her. She was so excited that finally she could be seen, and it turns out that only supernatural creatures can see her.

So George is trying to fight against who he is. He is someone of a girly boy, he is timid, a romantic and sophisticated, but once a month he because a violent creature.
Mitchell is trying to survive without taking the life of others; he has sworn off human blood and is fighting the urge day in and out to taste the sweet warm blood of a living human one more time.

George and Mitchell are trying to live a normal live and to mix their supernatural selves with the human selves. But of course it ends up being harder than they thought.

Anne was engaged and she ended up being murdered by someone. She ends up being trapped on the earthly plain and she has to come to terms with the fact that she can’t cross over until she finds out the truth of how she died and why she is still “here”.

I must admit that the first episode was a little odd, I felt like it was missing something and it jumped into the story at the middle and not so much the beginning. Maybe that is what they were going for. In the first episode, you see how George and Mitchell meet Anne, but you have no idea how George and Mitchell meet, just that Mitchell got George the job at the hospital….I feel like there should have been a first episode to the first episode. Since the first episode this show has gotten better and is now worth watching.

I do wish that the Vampire, Mitchell, was more of a Vamp. He can go out during the day, he is not super strong or super quick, but he is a Vampire. Not too bad.
There are of course other Vampires. They are everywhere and they work to bring him back to the “darkside”. They do not understand why Mitchell has sworn off blood and why he is so determined to live among humans, and what they do not understand they do not like.

This show is on BBC America on Saturday nights, it is on at 9pm, so you can watch it before you go out! And if you have TiVo or Direct TV, you can record it and watch it later.
