Being Human

This is show is great. I know there's so much werewolf and vampire movies and shows being thrown about now days but this breaks away from the brooding vampire werewolf combo. You have a serious but humorous vampire living with a puppy dog faced and funny werewolf living together in a house with a ghost who can't move on. The cast is pretty dang good in my book. They all have a chemistry that makes you believe their actually real life friends. You have some eye candy and also a great plot and storyline. It's not all about hot vampires and werewolves beating each other up for a girl...to be honest it's nothing like that, but it draws you in with the drama. You forget that their superhuman but people going through some difficult times. It's fun to watch...you'll laugh and may even relate. Also if your a big fan of syfy, you'll love tuning in to watch 45 mins of fantasy, drama, and humor. Don't shoot it down till you choose to sit down and watch it with arms open and enjoy.

Seems like a number of people commenting about the UK version (negatively mostly) don't know that it started with a pilot that was much different than the rest of the series. A bigger difference than comparing the US to UK version in fact.

The first two episodes of the US version combined are a remake, with a number of changes, of the UK pilot. However, incorporating a lot of the character traits/backgrounds of the rest of the UK series. Anyone having started to watch the UK series with episode 1 missed a very important introduction to the characters. Find the UK pilot and watch it if you haven't. It will add a lot of background for the rest of the UK series as well as provide a better basis for comparison to the US version thus far.

Both series are good. The US version has been a pleasant surprise, I didn't think it would be half as good as the UK version.

I'm more vested in the UK version at the moment, which just started its third season. It will be interesting to see where the US version goes and to find out how many episodes they plan to film per year/season. In the UK it's only 6, which feels rather short.

I did not know what quite to expect when watching this especially in 2021, but I was pleasantly surprised!

It did take some time to get into it but once you're in, you're going to watch it all!

Safe to say i watched the whole series within a week.

The characters all bring different aspects to the story and provide a good balance.

Overall really good casting and story, especially in season 4. Aidan and Sally were my favorites for sure!

To say that the US version is better by the actors, scenery and script is unbelievable. First off, what made the UK version so good was the fact that these actors looked like every day people, not like these famous American actors we see in the US version. Our vampire didn't look like a twilight character! We could relate to the characters and that's important in a good story.

We don't need simplistic, slapstick humour, good looking actors or pretty special effects to make our version work. Ours was quirky and different.

Don't get me wrong, if I had never seen the British version I would enjoy this a lot more, it's simple and easy to watch.

But the UK version is a lot better.

I've kept right up with all of the episodes, and the characters have grown nicely. Anyone who can be critical after just one or two episodes is not a critic. I decided to watch the British version after I began watching this one, and, frankly, I decided not to watch it again. I'm very satisfied with the characters in the U.S., and the acting is excellent, as far as I'm concerned, with just the right amount of humor, which is delivered well, and the expected (and sometimes not) horror action that goes with it. The show is unique, as far as I am concerned, and I put it in a class with "Supernatural", which is at the top of my list for good entertainment and acting. People need to decide for themselves rather than have someone promote another version that they have become over-familiar with. It becomes like "the movie just can't compare to the book". I love British TV, but, in this instance, it can't compare to this version, and I'll stay a dedicated fan for what I hope is a long run. Thanks, SYFY!
