Reviews

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
BloodFueledCadaver Only a short review.Bad ending for Aidan. Somebody in his position would be going nowhere.That's what the beauty of vampirism is supposed to be in my opinion: If a vampire is reckless and dies a true death, then they're done. The fact that he got to live for a small amount of time due to draining energy from a soul should not mean he gets to sit on a cloud and play a harp. Just bad writing in the hope of getting all watchers to smile about how great everything turned out in the end. Abhorrent.As for Josh and Nora, their ending was utterly predictable and I haven't anything more to say about them.Still, the show up until the end of the third series was good. Shame they had to ruin the whole thing. I feel they could have done something very good with the final series. Something that has always annoyed me about the show though, is the excessive use of music.My overall rating of the series is a 6.6. Not bad, but wasted potential.(I posted this review on another website as well, although this one has edits.)
galet09 Being a big fan of shows such as Charmed and currently Supernatural, I discovered this series (U.S. version) about a month ago. Right now I am getting caught up and am on Season 1. My initial impressions were that I didn't much like the characters or actors who play them. Aidan is the strongest most compelling character. Josh has grown on me a bit but not a whole lot. Sally I basically like and the actress does a good job with the role. I enjoy supernatural type movies and series that really focus on good fighting evil. However, I'm not sure that this series is necessarily about that.Though I realize Aidan, Josh and Sally are trying to live normal lives, and not give in to the monsters inside of them, still some of the stuff in particular, is a bit hard to take.Like Aidan and Rebecca having a bloody suck fest in the one episode, and in "Going Dutch," I almost decided not to watch anymore when I saw one scene, with a very pregnant woman with her swollen belly exposed, laid out on a dining room table, and then finding out she was pg with twins, and she was there to be sustenance for the vampires gathered around her. I thought that was extremely disturbing. Although they never touch her beyond Bishop drawing some blood from her wrist, in the ensuing fight, the table she is lying on gets completely flipped over. Also disturbing was Rebecca turning Bernie, the little boy into a vampire. I knew what was coming in that episode, that Aidan would have to put him down. I'm not sure if I will continue to watch the entire series but will continue for the present. I want to see if Season 2 will be any better.
Carma Simonsen I give it 10 stars because it is perfection in the art of storytelling. I am an American viewer, and I prefer the American cast. Let me first say that if you are like me, you haven't watched Twilight saga or True Blood and generally you feel sick of vampires at the mere mention. That said, what made me tune in to Being Human? I saw the ad on a city bus and it struck my curiosity. I looked into it and loved the premise - modern roommates, cursed in 3 different ways, all trying to be normal. I watched the pilot and fell in love. This series has been at the top of my list since. I can't wait for it to start again, and it kills me when a season ends - always a great cliffhanger!I adore the werewolf, Josh. I sympathize with Aiden, the vampire. And Sally, well, Sally is just irresistible fun! Nora is also a great character and actress ... sincerely, I give this series 10 stars because for me (and I am quite picky about storytelling practices) - this series is FLAWLESS. Perfectly written, which above all is a must. Perfectly cast. Perfect performances each week. Fabulous direction, editing. And the makeup artists and CGI artists are cream of the crop!Being Human makes me look forward to Mondays!
hthbrr2 Warning spoilers!I have watched a good amount of this show and have stopped because it's gotten TOO sad. I mean no matter what genre you have you MUST have some joy to it. Drama, Horror, Romance, Fantasy, etc. If it's all just sad sad sad what is the point? If I wanted to stare at sad people I would just watch the news!Additionally when all you have is depressing $#!t it gets boring. Like watching paint dry. Why do that? These people have horrible problem after horrible problem with NO resolution of said problems. It just gets worse. You know, you have to have light in order for dark to exist. Get it?Also the rules of the show make no sense. This just seems like another lazy American copy of a British show. ENOUGH! Avoid this show.
