I finally gave in and then rushed through finishing Being Human. There are quite a few edits that BBCAmerica threw at us that I’m not surprised to see, though calling someone a “twat” is a surprising one. Seeing a bit more nudity is always amusing.

The more I watched, I realized that Annie and Mitchell are two of my favorite characters to come along in a very long time. I certainly don’t mean that George is any less wonderful, but Annie and Mitchell are just more relatable (which considering their place in the world, is just weird). I’m so sad that I didn’t watch this sooner, and I’m also sad that I’ve finished the first series so quickly. I guess I’ll never be a fan of a six-episode run (unless it’s a merciful ending a la Demons). I’m so glad to see that there will be a second series and that I have to wait only five months to see it. I’ll just loop Series 1 until then.

I don’t know how I let this show slip past me the first time around. Being Human is now airing on BBCAmerica and I’m just getting around to watching it. I’m not sure what vibe they’re going for; there’s wit, horror, drama, and intrigue. There’s just not enough of any of them, really. It’s not so much that I didn’t like the first episode (and I really like Mitchell), I just don’t know what I’m meant to think about it.

I’m going to stick with it, though I already wish I was watching the original series. Russell Tovey (who appears to really like his bum) has already had to have some butt-blurring, and there’s no telling what else has been cut or changed. Hopefully it’s not enough to make a difference in the overall feel of the show (Sci-Fi SyFy, I’m glaring at you and the Doctor Who cuts you made :evileye: ), but since there doesn’t appear to be too much to feel, I guess it won’t matter.
