Yup yup yup. Still, I wish we could bend the universe and get more Being Human episodes at the same quality!

Just caught the first episode on demand. The werewolf effects are nice - no CGI! - the young actors are charismatic, and I got a laugh out of the werewolf's inability to find an unoccupied stretch of woods to transform in, but the wangst was a bit of a turn off. Not enough to make me stop watching, though. Good job overall.

I LOVE this show. It's funny and scary and dramatic. You really relate to the characters in this show and you gotta love George, the werewolf of the group. The stories are great too.

I started watching the episodes over again and noticed Tully's cameo this time around in the first episode.  It gave that scene a whole new read, one with some very sinister overtones. 

I wish the werewolf guy would stop screaming like a girl every time he started changing.

You're like 25 dude. Enter puberty already.

wowww, just caught up to the last two episodes. WOWWWW finallly they're starting to deal with powers. The werewolf might start tapping into his superstrength while in human form. The Ghost is doing poltergeist stuff. Wowww

I also wish the little girl screaming would not have been an option.  I was pretty satisfied that David's character in American Werewolf in London was in a good amount of pain, yet he maintained a very masculine/bestial ambience.  This guy's screaming really takes me out and ruins the scene, for me, at least.

Sweet

Good news for those who haven't seen the show or want to see it again, BBC America is re-airing the entire first season of the show (all six episodes) in a marathon Monday (Sept. 21) from 11am to 5pm Eastern.

Nooo! Not on a Monday!!! D:
Ah, well...thank God for internet! *clicks mega video link and stares at screen whilst drooling on feet...*

Ooh, lovely

George, What a beautiful beast, he has become, can't wait for the new season. ^^

I'd watch it.  The BBC show is certainly great, but I'd be interested to see a version with a bit more Americanized punch and less subtlety, assuming it's made that way.  It's clear that Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Supernatural had a strong influence on the production values, wit, and humor of Being Human, but I never felt like series 1 of the original pushed the envelope as far as it could have.  The ghost sub-plots were rather dull imo, though I am looking forward to seeing what they do with George in series 2, now that he's had a taste for blood.

More werewolves = good, I think, even if the end result is rendered poorly. 

The theme of non-humans trying to live with the problems of their new conditions has already been visited plenty of times in the shows I mentioned, and other film/tv productions before that.  Putting all three characters together is the primary gimmick, and it's a lot of fun to watch, but I hope they spend more time with the next series figuring out better ways to keep the audience on their toes than resorting to psychotic-fiance-ghost-drama.  The best character on the show by far is George because he's pulled in so many directions with conflict, has no control over his condition, and is more vulnerable than the others.  It makes the episodes where he's less featured feel more like filler.
