"Being Human" - SyFy version

[Dangelus]

Yep I watched it via Hulu. Enjoyed it very much :)

Man, I'm loving this season so far of this show.  Great it's back and even better than ever.  Lots of new things going on.  Still love the cast.  If you haven't tried this show (or the BBC version), definitely give one or both a try.

Yeah I agree Rico.. the first two episodes have been AWESOME!! Can't wait to see where it all goes.

Another great episode this week.  For those who know the UK version, have they veered more away from the stories they did in that series now?  Was the Nora character on that version too?

They have completely veered. While there wasn't a nora character, she had a counterpart in Nina. They were pretty similar for a while then not so much.

I'm kind of happy to hear that.  I could see using some of the earlier stories and main ideas maybe, but there is really is no point into remaking a series, episode by episode.

Ok, I'm almost through season 1, and I have to say, I find the basic premise of this show entirely unbelievable.

I mean, come on. A vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost sharing a rental house in Boston, and not a single person in the entire show has a Bahston accent? This may be too much disbelief to ask even me to suspend... ;)

Living in boston, the accent isn't as common as you'd think.

I just watched the first episode of season 2 and loved it!  The show 'seems' to be veering off from the UK show and finding it's own identity, long may it continue!

I have episode 2 on my hard drive, and it's very difficult not to watch it now!!   :innocent

Snarky comment about the lack of accents aside...

We're really enjoying this show in my house. All caught up to the episodes on Hulu so far: A. Maze. Ing.

I think the thing that impresses me the most is seeing the base motivations of the main characters play out. Everyone's agenda playing out and entwining makes for great entertainment. Will be interesting to see how Mother and Suren churn things up.

Well, I'm sorry to say I'm not a fan of the US version of this show. The UK production is awesome. Very well done, great mix of gore, drama, comedy (British comedy no less!), and acting. I watched the first two episodes of the US version recently and just wasn't sold on it. Sorry guys (and gals). But, that's just my opinion. Maybe had I watched the US version first...

[Rico]

Al, were you watching season two of the US version?  That is the current season airing.

[QuadShot]

Rico, no, season 1 on NetFlix...

I thought the same when I first watched the first couple of episode from season 1, but the show quickly matured into a great show...and I love the UK show myself!   

I remember my reactions when both TNG and DS9 first aired...and "Deep Sleep 9" is now my favourite Trek show!!!  :)

Yeah, I think it's funny that Jacob (Lost) plays the "head vampire" :) I keep expecting him to ask someone to protect the Island! :)
