Fans will pounce on the second season of Being Human, the beloved series about a trio of supernatural beings--a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost--who just want to lead normal lives. In the first episode, George (the lycanthrope, played by Russell Tovey) is trying to make his relationship with Nina (Sinead Keenan) work, only he doesn't know that he's passed his curse on to her; rakishly handsome Mitchell (the bloodsucker, Adrian Turner) meets a new doctor at the hospital and feels an immediate attraction; and ever-chipper Annie (the specter, Lenora Crichlow) sets out to get a job. Unfortunately for them, a gaunt fanatic named Kemp wants to destroy them and all their kind. The series seeks to juggle domestic story lines about relationships and family with grand conspiracies and bloody murders. The result never meshes--in one scene, Mitchell conspires with a police chief to cover up vampire murders, and in another he, George, and Annie are flopped on the couch, chatting like college freshmen about having sex. Either sequence could be enjoyable, but trying to slam them together undercuts both. It doesn't help that the characters squeal and whine like sullen teenagers half the time. Fortunately, the cast manages to rise above the writing to exude genuine charm and the production values are strong--the designers clearly relish every opportunity for gruesomeness. Being Human: Season Two has only a small handful of extras, but there are eight episodes instead of the first season's six. --Bret Fetzer

A modern look at Vampires, Wolves, and Ghosts,

This review is from: Being Human: Season Two (DVD)
If you like the unusual, appreciate British television, and open for an honest, never-done-before take on the 'unnatural', then look no further! I recommend Being Human (both seasons). A non-glamorous look at the life of a ghost, a vampire and a reluctant lycan. Funny, sad, and witty, will keep you entertained throughout the season.

Keeps getting better.,

Loved the first season, and love this one too! If you enjoyed the first season, get this one! And the third season too. One issue. So few episodes... They need to make the seasons longer.
