There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I've only made it in a few episodes of season one. What a crashing bore. Neither thrillng or scary ... just three whiny individuals bemoaning every aspect of their life. But it was the dreary Lenora Crichlow's ghost character that made me finally turn off. I honestly can't think of anything good to say about her irritating and whiny portrayal of a ghost. Actually I can't think of anything good to say about it at all.

I forced myself to watch the first three seasons and episode one of the fourth. After that, no matter how much I craved entertainment, I couldn't force myself to watch another episode. To be fair, I watched the first three seasons hoping it would get better. Well, as is said, better hope in the soul than soap in your hole. This is yet another poor attempt to create a fantasy/horror/whatever series hoping to evoke a WOW in those watching it. For me it was more of a THUD. I saw one inconsistency listed on this board yet I saw many throughout the series, other than Annie's gravestone. Why for instance are we subjected to George's bare butt after he has transformed back to being human, but Nina is shown fully clothed? Are female werewolves more modest for some reason and is this natural to the werewolf persona? When for example, between transforming from werewolf to human, is she coherent enough to dress herself again? I believe this is called cheap theatrics and not worthy of those viewing the program. Are two races of beings, which have survived countless centuries, so ill prepared that a werewolf arrives in an attic to take down a vampire just before he transforms and is thus susceptible to being killed instead by the vampire? He's already killed dozens of other vampires, yet the one he has been searching for the longest, he mucks up so very badly. As a plot device it was the weakest link. I would highly recommend in future, BBC takes a leaf from HBO in the production of plausible fantasy/horror. This is after all the keystone to good fiction, making even the wildest of ideas somehow plausible. It would be equally grand if Hollywood and all television production would actually read some of the very great works of fantasy/science fiction which are available and have been for more than thirty years. Why are we being subjected to remakes of classics such as Total Recall, Conan and others? Especially when the remakes are so poorly executed.

So it's come to this. Another easy come easy go drama with a tedious plot, all backed by emo pop/rock. Only this time, it's about vampires, werewolves and ghosts.The biggest problem I have with 'Being Human' is that it very pretentiously tries to work not only as lightly digested teen-fantasy-show, but it actually tries to be a captivating drama. Needless to say, it ends in a bloodbath (no pun intended). 'True Blood' made it almost a season before plummeting into the sewers of Hollywood. 'Being Human' didn't have place to fall from to begin with.Every era in modern history leaves something good and something bad behind. The little nuggets of gold, and the turds. 'Being Human' is first in line to be now what huge shoulder-puffs was in the eighties. Regardless how you feel about it now. Wait 20 years, until a time when the 'twilight'-lunchboxes has long disappeared, and watch being human again.Many creations have the power to be appreciated in the present, only great ones live forever. 'Being Human', is NOT the latter.

Drama, mystery, self discovery, angst and "desperation for relief" comedy is spattered through out this well written and acted show. In 2 very short runs (16 in all?)I care more for these unlikely group of supernatural misfits than all the seasons of "Friends". Annie, Mitchell, George, and Nina sit on the fence between worlds, running from what they are and leaving claw marks in their past. The third set of shows have just started and I can't wait to see my friends again. I think it is best to watch the show, if you can, as they aired on BBC. When the shows makes the crossing on the pond some of the grittiness gets watered down. On a personal note, if you have watched the SyFy version, it pales by comparison.
