Televisual Treats: Being Human (British Version)


I've always loved anything supernatural, I like the way it captures my imagination. But even I was uncertain about a show which involved a ghost, a werewolf and a vampire inhabiting the same house! What a ridiculous concept! Well, more fool me because I'm now hooked and counting down the days until my Series 3 DVD arrives :) 

Being Human follows the adventures of the housemates doing what they can to forge 'normal' human lives for themselves despite their respective 'afflictions'. Annie, the resident friendly ghost, is attempting to come to terms with her own death whilst living with George, the reluctant werewolf. Oh, and there's also Mitchell. He's a 'vegetarian' vampire trying to keep the rest of his kind secret from the humans, while he himself is doing everything he can to avoid succumbing to a frenzied blood lust. It all makes for a deliciously dark and often gory drama which doesn't take itself too seriously. I cannot recommend it enough! 

Has anyone seen the American version yet? I can't wait to check it out!
