being human (the effort of)

Do you think you know flatmates from hell? You may want to think again..
Idiotic jokes aside, if you haven't watched this series yet I highly recommend it. This drama has the most entertaining and original idea I have seen in a long time. In a nutshell, "Being Human" is about three twenty-something characters sharing a house in Bristol, trying to lead a normal life, despite being a ghost, a vampire and a werewolf. I think the creators have done an excellent job with this series as the episodes are very down to earth and original. We may be dealing with the supernatural here but it's never surreal. Plus there is a lot of comedy which balances very well the dark aspects. Honestly the horror is very minimal which is obviously a bonus to me since I am not a fan of the genre.
The main characters include ( source http://www.bbc.co.uk/beinghuman/characters/ )


Annie, a talkative ghost lacking in self-confidence and desperate for company. Annie is still pining after her boyfriend, whom she was due to marry before the fatal accident that left her with her ghostly affliction - and who happens to be the landlord of their flat.

George,battling with his double identity as a mild-mannered and geeky hospital porter who for one night a month is transformed into a flesh-hungry, predatory werewolf.

Mitchell, an extremely hot looking young man who, unlike George, has a lot of luck with the ladies. He is a vampire who is trying to kick the ( bloody) habit and understandably he is constantly struggling to tame his blood lust ( I can't deny that I like Mitchell a lot because he reminds me of Zero a little *blushes*. Besides, they are both good looking although each in their own way ^_^ * vampire team*)

If you live in the uk you may know the series very well so there is no need for me to tell you that the episodes are broadcasted on BBC3 and are also available on iplayer here. Unfortunately the pilot is no longer there though ;_;
If you live outside the Uk and you'd like to watch the episodes aired so far (we're up to episodes 5) you can go here (which is also good if you're after the pilot episode )

Episode 6 will air on March the 1st and I am really looking forward to it. Here's a small spoiler from YouTube *happy*
