Being Human - a prayer to the TV gods

BenPanced · Jul 25, 2009

Just finished watching a preview of it on Comcast's On Demand.

Please don't pull a 180 and have the rest of the show suck. Please don't pull a 180 and have the rest of the show suck. Please don't pull a 180 and have the rest of the show suck.

(It's on tonight at 8:00, but it's going to have to wait for the 11:00 rerun: A Night At The Opera with the Marx Brothers starts at 7:00, and that takes precedence over anything else.)

I have it set to my DVR.

(With any luck, I'll be at the movies tonight.) *fingers crossed*

Watching it now

BenPanced · Jul 25, 2009

Got a chance to see the first episode and there's tons there to make me want to watch the next.

Jackie B. · Jul 26, 2009

Oooh, I'd forgotten to set my DVR. Thanks for the reminder! I hope it's good and doesn't go the way of Hex.

DavidZahir · Jul 26, 2009

Actually I've seen the entire first season.

It most certainly doesn't suck.

The vampire do, of course, but in a good way.

Caramia · Jul 26, 2009

I enjoyed it.

dgiharris · Jul 26, 2009

You know, I was cycling through my Comcast on Demand and saw this pop up, THink I'll watch it today.

Ben Panced, be forewarned. If it sucks, I will track you down and give you an Atomic Wedgee for wasting my time.

That is all. I'll be back later to report.

Mel...

Bonus points to those who know what an Atomic Wedgee is

dgiharris · Jul 26, 2009

Okay Ben,

you are safe. Just saw it. Not bad. Definitely a lot of potential. Will stick around and give them a few more episodes to see what they do with it.

Having seen the first series, I can assure you it most definitely does not suck. Not even for a moment.

Though I'm still mourning the fact that they replaced two of the original cast members from the first pilot. Hmph.

Jackie B. · Jul 29, 2009

Saw the pilot. It was sooo good. Definitely going to have to keep watching this one.

Rowan · Jul 30, 2009

I really enjoyed this one! Mitchell is incredible and I like the premise (unique). Just the right amount of humor blended in with the suspense/drama. Hopefully the rest of the season will live up to the pilot.

Cyia · Jul 30, 2009

Saw the pilot when they FINALLY got a clue and put it on BBC America. It's a great premise and a great central cast. I kind of wish there was a bigger effects budget, but the fact that the show is so good without a lot of SFX says a lot for the writing.

BenPanced · Aug 2, 2009

It's still not sucking! There were a couple elements of the second episode (Tully, the kill video) that were delightfully disturbing, meaning I wasn't completely squicked out to look away. And I have a theory about Annie that I think is going to be answered in the next episode or so (SPOILER WARNING? I'm thinking Owen pushed her down the stairs, based on his behavior in the first episode and how Annie accidentally called Tully "Owen" when he grabbed her arm in the kitchen.) We'll see.

rugcat · Aug 3, 2009

I watched the first two episodes and I think it's fantastic. The writing is good, and the acting is superb.

Interesting to compare it to True Blood, which I also like, but which is basically lightweight entertainment. Being Human is as much about relationships between people as it is a supernatural adventure series, and it rings very true.

One of the best supernatural themed shows I've seen in a long time.

dgiharris · Aug 3, 2009

Can't wait to watch the second episode tomorrow.

Mel...

Fran · Aug 5, 2009

This is pleasantly strange - it was buried on BBC3 over here. I didn't watch it personally but a lot of my friends loved it. I'll have to look out for the inevitable repeat

Rowan · Aug 5, 2009

Saw the 2nd episode and I'm still loving itl!!! I hope it lasts for more than one season...

George is hilarious - I love how he talks... the behind the scenes show was interesting as they elaborated on his speech pattern, etc. Looks like next week's ep will focus on the ghost.

dgiharris · Aug 6, 2009

You know,

If I were smart, i'd stop watching this, then just buy the whole season.

This is why I hate watching stuff on a week by week basis. I hate waiting. Episode # 2 was pretty good.

Can't even pre-order it yet on Amazon.com... :tongue

I hope it comes out eventually!!!

I just watched the first episode. I LOVE it. Ive got the rest of the episodes (only 6 in total) and I think I'll pull a marathon tomorrow.

I adore this show and it is awesome until the end, I am in England so I have seen them all and I am waiting until season two starts sometime next year (hopefully).

So there are plans for a Season 2??

nevada · Aug 8, 2009

Series two is about to start filming. Nice article about its development.
