I wanted to do another post about one of my favourite shows and thats Being Human. The UK version or to put it another way... The BEST version!!
Im doing this post about season 1 because lets face it.... Im addicted to blogging and i have an excuse to bog again! Hehe!
Season 1.
Genre, thank you (IMDb)
Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Horror
Plot Summary (thank you again IMDb)
A werewolf, a vampire, and a ghost try to live together and get along.
The stars of the program! Love the cast :)
Lenora Crichlow as Annie
Russell Tovey as George
Aidan Turner aa Mitchell
Sinead Keenan as Nina
I gotta say my favourite is George... Tovey plays him so well :) im sure you guys will feel the same way.
So the basic plot is that Annie is a ghost that has died in a house that George, werwolf, and Mitchell, a Vampire, move into. And because they are both supernatural beings they can see Annie. Obviously being a ghost she cannot be seen by anyone... Or can she?
What i like about the Vampires in this program is how different they are to how they are portrayed in other shows, movies and books I've seen. In this show they can go out in daylight, they eat normal food and don't actually need blood to survive. I thought that was rather random but hey not my show. In a way i think that its better because they can hunt when ever they want and not actually restricted to after hours. Well thats my opinion any way. Im sure you guys have your own.
As a rule Vampires hate werwolf and vice-versa but in this instance george and mitchell are best friends. It does explain how they become friends but i wont spoil it for you.
Their mission in life is to be human or as near to human as possible. They try and have friends and get some neighbours round for a cup of tea but as you can imagine that goes to hell. They are soon hated after a incident including one of their neighbours kids... Not saying anymore that than for the same reason... Spoilers, not a fan.
The supernatural world doesn't like the fact that they love the human life so much so they try and put a kink in their plans so they have to try twice as hard to keep their normal life and soon realise that its not all that is cracked up to be.
Head of the vampires, Herrick is trying to get Mitchell back to the way of killing people and enjoying it but he is trying his hardest to be human and stay the way he is. But yep... You guessed it he falls off the wagon.
George is determined to stay human and not let the wolf ruin his life. He looks at it as a curse and a thing thats not a part of him and to keep it and his home separate. But one night he finds his usual space where he changes is being made into an office he is force to find another place to change, he try's the woods but its seems that night everyone is out having a picnic! So he has to change in the house and face the fact that his friends know what he is and he has to accept it and admit to himself that he is a werwolf!
George: 'My name is George, and I'm a werwolf'
Mitchell: 'Hello George'
Annie is a ghost. And she 'haunts' the place that she died. She thinks she died by falling down the stairs... But what did really happen? Again... Not into spoilers so not going to tell you.
One thing i will tell you that you will LOVE blue eyed Annie... She is badass and hard core. You know she means business when she goes blue eyed :)
Nina is a nurse at the hospital where Mitchell and George. Soon after they meet she starts dating George, i think they are a lovely couple so meant to be better than Edward and Bella from twilight! Hehe!
George actually breaks up with Nina after a while because he doesn't want to see her get hurt but Nina isn't satisfied with that answer and tried to get the truth out of him... She follows him on a full moon and im sure you can guess the rest...
Thats the characters in a nut shell the story line is in there too. Im saying this about everything i blog about but you really need to give it a go. Its so good. Perfect for supernatural fans and the best part... Its made by us!! Its 100% english! Woo!
I give this a massive 5 out of 5 stars as is one of my fav shows and i own them all on blu ray! It really is awesome!
Can NOT wait for season 5 coming May 2013!!! Yey very excited!
Think thats about all i can say without telling you everything that happens in season 1.
Sending love to TV land :)
