Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

ElessarAndurilS 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.

HeyHeyheyKids can't say much that hasn't already been said: insightful and fun little Brit show about three supernatural beings trying to keep their s*it together. as a fan of doctor who, I don't mind giggle-inducing FX and some awkward editing, but here those superficial faults don't even read, given the fun plot and often brilliant writing.Russell Tovey and Lenora Crichlow are fabulous as (respectively) a highly-strung werewolf dude and an upbeat ghost girl trying to make the best of her (after)life, but it's the third member of the cast who gets my attention the most. holy S*IT Aidan turner is hot. he's a terrific actor and is given a lot of range and space to develop Mitchell, a vampire suffering from blood withdrawal in what is a blatant metaphor for substance addiction. but DAMN SON, i can't focus on your monologues n s*it with DEM ANGELIC BROWS and SCULPTED-ASS FACIAL STRUCTURE. in a couple of episodes he's half naked and i swear i literally almost wept...'thank u Jesus', i whispered to the heavens.rampaging hormones aside, watch this show. If gore and relatively explicit sex scenes ain't your thing, then step aside, but pretty much everyone else should find something to like here: engrossing story lines, genuinely funny writing, but above all, believable and hyper-endearing performances from the supernatural trio.I rarely give a crap about the characters of any shows I watch, but with this one, they feel like they could be some of your best buds that just happen to be dead or prone to turn into a wolf.

Laureen J This my friends is what I call entertaining. This show has all the right qualities. Humor, Sarcasm, Juicy story lines, Betrayal, ALL THE WORKS. It grasps my attention 99.9 percent of the time. the other 1 is if I'm paranoid or hungry. but thats not the case. The case is that this show gives you so much drama that you begin to feel as if your part of their lives, witnessing with your own eyes and ears the fine details of their drama. The Actors are marvelous, although I was a bit skeptical at first about there acting skills, they proved me wrong as their talent grows through every season on screen. They have me in tears and sweat waiting for their next move. The Storyline is just that amazing. Missing one show will have your mind boggling (never be put in that compromise).This show receives Nine out of Ten...Its Just That Awesome.

StarChildX31 Being Human is a very well out look at how creatures of supernatural try to exist among their counter parts. It is almost hard to say who's story is the best, A ghost that was murdered, who longs to be alive again to touch and feel the warmth of a real person. A wear wolf, who knows that his curse cannot be contained, and a vampire, who tries to resist his ungodly urge to do the unthinkable. Each person has a part of humanity despite their unnatural ability and that's sets the stage of these three trying to fit in. In other words they are trying to be human. I think this is well crafted and a story that you really don't want to end. However, I think that "Lenora" who plays Annie is so cute and bubbly. i won't reveal her true age but i can tell you this she looks like she's between 18 and 22. And her bubbly wit even though off beat is a charm. Did you see the part when she was imitating George while trying to make a baby laugh.
