I love this movie so much

Truly Dreadful Film

That was an excellent one.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The US version is so, so so, much better. This is cheap looking and just plain tack. Even the music is crap. The only good thing is the divine Aidan Turner.

Being Human (US) was a show that you really couldn't evaluate until it was all over. The (UK) version is considerably different and not nearly as good. First is the huge difference in that the UK version was essentially 3 shows: 1st = Seasons 1-3, 2nd = Season 4, and the 3rd = Season 5. Each served as a backdrop for its successor, but when you entirely change the cast (-1) and redirect the storyline at each of those points your telling a new story based on a the same premise; being monsters (Ghost, Werewolf, and Vampire) working together to try and retain your humanity. Three other huge differences: the UK version stuck much more to the old myths about the power and limitations of the monsters, had a much longer history with a bigger scope of plot where the afterlife was clearly grounded in Catholic religious beliefs and finally that the UK version was more bloody while having fewer and poorer quality of special effects. There were many basic plot points that were the same, but the how they were written into the stories are vastly different. With far fewer shows and a rotating door of main characters (Only Annie made it 4 seasons) there was simply little time to introduce characters for the viewer enough for them to develop any empathy for them. Specifically the 3 main characters relationships with each other were not nearly as tightly bound in supporting each other. They were not only not consistent over seasons they didn't have the history painted in the "species" given out in the US story line. A main theological key to being human is the role of love in the US version. The UK version it was not even material in the big picture in the UK version except for a few episodes. If not for liking the US version I would NEVER have made it through the UK version. Having done it a main reason was because there was fewer shows and the continuing hope that like the US version I would be rewarded for all the unexpected developments and major changes happening fast in the story in the end. But it never happened, there were just major changes to trying to make for a bigger story but all it did was introduce to much change to fast and in reality only to effect the current story. Having George and Nina fall in love, her get pregnant and have a human baby only to kill them off in two episodes was just a whole lot of major story development with no real payoff, just disappointment. The baby was given a larger purpose it was only around that seasons story except for being the key to the trigger for Annie to be able to get her door. The whole tying out the story to the old ones and the deal made with the devil yet another larger story base, but written out as having a small focus with a scope effecting the last two seasons. If this wasn't Science Fiction it wouldn't get a 6 rating, but we are talking about a genre that has produced a low bar for quality so a 6 is my the line of watchable, 5 or lower for watching for the sake of finding the humor in how bad it is or worse simply shutting it off because it is intolerably bad. But overall Being Human (UK) was just good enough that I made it through all the episodes driven by that hope that the end would justify the time with an ending that made me like the rest much more. Given all the original characters are long gone by the time you reach the series finale that is kind of hard, but I still made it. The end was limited in that it really only effected characters introduced in the last two seasons with the devil being surprisingly weak and easy to defeat. There are a lot better shows and this has many flaws but when streaming for free the show is just good enough to watch and find entertaining, especially when so much bad reality TV is its competition. Don't spend money to watch it, but it is entertaining enough to watch when streaming.

This show would have and should have earned a 10.Sadly, all of the original main cast left. The first three seasons are amazing, and it is potentially the best written/directed/acted TV Show I have seen.Really this show deserved to go off with all of the original characters, it deserved to have an epic send off after season three, where we say a goodbye to all the character's we've come to know and love.You need to see it, but trust me, only through the third season.You've been warned, now go watch this gut-wrenchingly good show.

The premise: a vampire, werewolf and ghost live together is about as silly as you could imagine. However the acting is so spectacularly good, you are instantly sucked in. There is some humour, (such as ageless vampire cutie moon-eyeing an aged past girlfriend), but they play it with a straight face. Russell Tovey as George the reluctant werewolf is perhaps the best actor I have ever seen in a TV series. He plays with his appearance to change from a Matt Damon clone to a complete dork to Truman Capote. He plays with his voice, ranging over every possible emotion. He is always surprising you with a new angle to his character. His screams of pain as he transforms into a werewolf are unbearable. He is completely convincing. I fell madly in love with with his character. He was just so open, with such heart, complex yet easy to understand.Annabel Scholey made me hate her so intensely the instant she came on screen. She projects such a strongly nauseating personality with just some fine control of her facial muscles. She has that knack like nobody else. She was also able to make her character gradually more sympathetic, all through body language. Other actors should study how she does this.The other actors too are done in Kodachrome, a bit more out there, trying something unusual. This does not feel like TV or a movie for that matter, perhaps more like a play.The episodes are quite long, and it feels like the writers could not come up with enough minor plot elements to fill them. So they pad with meandering dialogue, that feels much like real life, but left me itching for them to get on with the show. The ground rules of how reality works in this strange universe are just incidentally explained. You often see some strenuous conflict without knowing what fuels it. The major plot elements are full of big surprises, however -- very clever.There are not many special effects. The ghost just appears without any fade-in. Most of the transformation to a wolf occurs off camera. The main thing you see are a series of bumps appear long George's back. Sometimes you watch people's reaction to what would be a special effect rather than the special effect itself. This works surprisingly well.
