Being Human

I watched a "Being Human" (US) marathon yesterday. When the series was announced a few years ago, I thought the premise was brilliant: a ghost, a vampire and a werewolf share an apartment. Wow. The potential! Like, a supernatural version of "The Young Ones". Celebration!

Then...the reality. OMGANGST! This was my dream show from the Evil Opposite Universe!

( Possible spoilers...the irony )

Ugh. SO wish it was a half-hour comedy instead! Imagine Rik Mayall as a vampire, Adrian Edmondson as a werewolf and Nigel Planer as a ghost!. Heaven!

Being Human- Speaking of the Werewolves...

Why is it that so many studios think that ugly, scabrous werewolves look more "real"? Being Human has werewolves, but it feels like they couldn't decide what was cool and what was doofy, so the final beasts look...awful. Imagine the Twilight werewolves with terminal cases of mange.

Here is the werewolf:

Still, I've enjoyed a lot of Brit series more than their American counterparts, so I'll be curious to see how they play out. Hopefully the Ghost is less annoying than in the American series. (SO ANNOYING!!)
