Being human

Not entirely lame! In fact, it's pretty good. I'll defintely watch the next episode.

This is a new BBC show about a vampire, a ghost and a werewolf who share a house together. The vampire is angsty (and hot) and struggling to not bite people. The werewolf is incredibly socially inept (and cute) and deeply creepy in its werewolf form. The ghost is clinging to the house she lived in with her boyfriend and is really a bit lost and also rather adorable.

Slightly clunky, but I really enjoyed the way the script knitted these fantastical beings into real life - the werewolf and the vampire work as hospital orderlies. The ghost's boyfriend is also the landlord, and who is now going out with a far less pretty girl who works in a tanning salon and who is therefore orange. The boss of the vampires is in disguise as a police officer.

Also, it's not afraid to show how messy their existances can get. I like it.

I loved this show - and will be reviewing later! First episodes often suffer from info-dump but you did get a real feel for the 'internal' workings of the characters. *g* Plus everyone is very pretty. I bet the first slash is already being written...

Yes, info dump was a bit of a problem, but also just the flow of how and why these characters got together seemed a bit confused. But then I missed the pilot.

Without a shadow of the doubt the angsty hot vampire is getting laid as we speak...
