Being Human Season One (US Version)


Being Human S1
SyFy Production w/ BBC

So a Ghost, Werewolf, and a Vampire go to a bar. No wait, that’s not what I meant. Actually this show is about three different characters from totally different worlds. Somehow coming together under the same roof. When sides collide, its up to these three supernatural beings to work together. By friendship and the choices they make together form a bond like no other.

However this show has roots in the UK, this interpretation is quite different. Taking a more American spin, yet making it even more diverse in dark comedy, action, and drama. The three leading characters push the boundaries of storytelling to its knees. Taking nods from classic movie monsters, and giving them new energy like no other series before.

Taking part as a 13 episode arch, season one of this captivating show does not disappoint. It may be a short season, but the pilot carries enough to keep you motivated to watch how it all unfolds. With clever writing, and camera work that makes it feel like a documentary in real time. Plus each episode contains different aspects of the unexpected trio, from where they unite, fall apart, and somehow mend their wounds mentally and physically (toss in a few smiles).

Given the short season, the fourth disc contains a helping of goodies. From a doc “Making of” to interviews, Q&A @ SDCC (a must watch!) Being Human is definitely a show worth keeping your eyes on.
