I bought this series before I'd seen it before, and I think it was a great decision. Moments of silliness, but always parallel to a much darker storyline. Perfection. Plus Aidan Turner. (Probably could have said that first, let's be honest.)

My fiance and I loved this from start to finish and then quickly had to buy season 2. Highly recommended
This series is super good, but beware it is very easy to become obsessed.
The plot basically revolves around three friends who share a flat, but in a twist one flatmate is a ghost, another a werewolf and the third is a vampire. Many story lines involve the characters trying to live normal ‘human lives’.
Being human makes you laugh and cry, the actors are all phenomenal and each episode seems better than the last.
Definitely a must see, even you aren't normally a fan of supernatural shows.
BBC UK Being Human 1st Series on DVD.
Meet Mitchell, George and Annie. Flatmates by day ‐ undead by night.
Being Human follows three housemates as they do their best to live their lives as normally as possible despite their strange and dark secrets. But with unwelcome intruders into their world, rumblings about an impending revolution from the vampire underworld and constant threats of exposure ‐ on top of the usual issues faced by young people surrounding love, work and mates ‐ the only thing they may be able to rely on in their heightened world is each other.
Lovable George battles with his double identity as a mild‐mannered and geeky hospital porter who for one night a month is transformed into a flesh‐hungry, predatory werewolf. Mitchell is good‐looking, laidback and, in contrast to George, has an easy confidence with the ladies. But he is also a blood‐sucking vampire struggling with going cold‐turkey from the blood he craves. Completing the flat‐share trio is Annie, a talkative ghost lacking in self‐confidence and desperate for company. Annie is still pining after her fiance, who she was due to marry before the fatal accident that left her with her ghostly affliction.
Awards for the Series
Reviews for Being Human TV show
“When I first popped this show in, I thought it was a bad joke quickly cobbled together to take advantage of the current craze for nice vampires. A couple of episodes in however I realized that I was wrong and that Being Human was a well-crafted, carefully thought out show…this is a great show to get lost in. Highly Recommended.” DVD Talk (season 1)
“Somehow scary and funny and sexy all at once. A Being Human specialty.” TV Guide (season 3)
“Darkly funny, deeply affecting and utterly cockeyed, a work that celebrates life by dwelling on death.” Miami Herald (season 1)
“All three characters are highly appealing, but the charm of the show lies in the delicate balance of engrossing drama and disarming humor; the series is not campy or self-conscious, it’s witty in an offhand, understated way.” New York Times (season 1)
“I like my genre shows with oddball humor, and Being Human hits that spot well. It reminded me more of other British dramedies—a la New Tricks (Hal seems like the vampire counterpart to Brian Lane, and Annie's exhortations to her "boys” sometimes echo Sandra Pullman, although that series is more densely plotted)—than of science-fiction shows. I like science-fiction, but I suspect even people who wouldn't care for The X-Files might want to stop at Annie's B&B." DVD Verdict (season 4)
‘Being Human looks great…warm, witty, sexy, and – as its title hints, very human’ – The Guardian, UK (season 1)
“Being Human is not just a great series, but continues to evolve into something special that will likely be remembered for years to come.” DVD Verdict (season 3)
“Whatever deeper meanings one might extrapolate, the show's approach proves refreshingly unpretentious and a great deal of fun, playfully exploring the mythologies surrounding ghosts, vampires and werewolves.” Variety (season 1)
