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.

Why can't US TV make cool stuff like this? ;_;

Well, I am waiting for Merlin to show up (it is supposedly on some network later this year) and hopefully this will show up on BBCA also.

I don't know if you check this comm already, but dramatic_eps has a lot of current stuff to download, from the US and UK. You need to join the comm to download, but it's always really reliable and someone might've uploaded Being Human. It's where I get my spn :)
