Being Human (UK)

So I've only just started watching this and I fucking love it.

Anyone else watching it?

I'm looking at the Hedgehog. It doesn't seem to do anything though.

I watch it. What episode are you up to?

Episode 3 of Season 1. So far so good.

And Ambler - don't blink.

Series 1 is probably the best.

Series 4 started Sunday just gone, and I don't want to spoil anything for you.

But - hey - Mitchell.... Woof or what? ;)

Mitchell is the sex. Like literally.

George is just plain cute and adorable and I JUST WANNA GIVE HIM A HUG.

Annie is somehwat irritating. In saying that I did like in the third episode when she realised how much of a dick Owen was.

Also on the fourth season - I saw a prequel vid with Gatiss in it ... hence my interest in watching it.

Male, female and Mitchell? Interesting. Evolution continues apace.

I like it too.

The writer apparently tried to get it to work purely as a sitcom at first, and then thought drama might be a better idea.

The first series has far more black comedy in it, and is regarded as being the better for it. Then again, it would be difficult to maintain that. I think it did okay. End of the third series was a bit of nuisance, but - hey - I'm getting ahead of you.

Mitchell - Aidan Turner - is Kili - or Fili - in The Hobbit.

Yeah, I know. He's going to be beautiful.

In other news I'm half-way through Season 2. So far so good but yes there has defs been a change in tone.

Nice balance of drama and humour in last night's ep.

The new series is bloody funny. Tom has some fantastic lines. And his eyebrows deserve a credit of their own.

"Kill me. Kill me now."

"Well, if you behave and work hard, then we'll see...."

RAVE WHAT IS GODTISS LIKE?

I'm still not through Season 2.

Who and what now?

Series 2? That's Mitchell going after some doctor bird, isn't it? With an unhealthy obsession with crucifixes and sharp pointed wooden objects?

Towards the end of series 3 is where it starts to seriously go wrong. I blame Peter Jackson, of course.

Last night's episode was excellent :D .

It was, wasn't it? Nice to see it's pulling itself out of the maudlin mess of series 3.

Being Human rarely scares me, despite the subject matter ... but 'Kirby' was creepy as hell. And Hal and Tom posing as the baby's gay parents was a hoot, culminating in that sublime line of the GP's as he surveyed Honolulu Heights - 'I'm sorry, it's just that most of the gay couples I know have taste'.

Kirby was proper creepy, and not just because of the tank top and flares. Tom creases me up. And Hal is fantastic. I was worried what they'd do to replace Mitchell, but they've got it perfect. Similar enough, but different enough.
