alexandral | "Being Human" : Another super-awesome British show (Reply)

OMPH! I have only seen a pilot but I can safely say that "Being Human" is the best supernatural show about vampires, werewolves and all such things that I have ever seen. It doesn't go the way all the other "vampire" shows of this year go, namely into vampire romance (which has become a genre all by itself!). It is not that I don't like vampire romances, and it is not that "Being Human" doesn't have a romance story in it. But an exploration of what makes us human, and how can we control our dark side is so much more interesting. Can we live without hurting others?

We get to see an amazing trio of young British actors Guy Flanagan, Andrea Riseborough and Russell Tovey playing a vampire, a ghost and a werewolf sharing a flat together. There is a promise of the bigger ach developing, with Adrian Lester playing a charismatic leader of the London vampire community, ready to lead his comrades into a battle with humans.

Among other strong sides is the dialogue. It is witty and amusing, but without leaving you with the feeling that real people don't speak this way.

The show is gorgeous cinematographically, filmed in the traditions of classic noir movies. I couldn't resist and made some icons, free to share, please let me know if you need any text added.
