I have always been lover of British drama, MI-5, Primeval and especially Being Human to name three.  The UK version of Being Human stars Irish actor Aiden Turner, Russell Tovey and Lenora Crichlow. Since the announcement that Syfy was creating a North American version of Being Human, I was worried that my favorite UK supernatural show would be ruined.  Would the North American version enhance or detract from the franchise?  I loved the original series and wondered why it was necessary to create a North American version.

If you are a science fiction or supernatural aficionado you have probably read allot about tonight’s episode just as I did.  But you might not have heard about Being Human so you might be curious after reading my spin so check it out.

The basic plot of Being Human is about Aiden a vampire; John, a werewolf and Sally, a ghost and is starring Sam Witwer (Aiden), Sam Huntington (Josh) and Meaghan Rath (Sally).  CW Supernatural fans will recognize Mark Pellegrino as Bishop. I love a show which drives the viewer to have strong emotional attachment as wells rich character development.  And of course, being a handsome vampire does not hurt even if he does have brown eyes. My favorite line was when Sally says, “you two going to go all Twilight on each other at some point.”  Sally made me laugh the most.

I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised with Syfy’s Being Human and I loved the cliff hanger. Being Human is not trying to be like The Vampire Diaries or True Blood and despite the supernatural theme it is very different. If it continues to develop, Being Human will be a welcome addition to my DVR viewing.
