Being Human is a British television series, broadcast on BBC Three. It stars Lenora Crichlow, Russell Tovey and Aidan Turner as three apparent twenty-something characters sharing a house in Bristol, trying to live a normal social life, despite being a ghost, a werewolf and a vampire.
I just watched the first episode and Being Human is good. It has an understated comedy and a Gothic horror element but the center of the narrative seems to be the three main characters struggle with themselves. Parts of the dialogue verge on moral philosophy and a questioning of the nature of self in the world. Death is a major presence in the series.
To promote the show, the BBC launched a Blog. On the 22nd of December 2008, the BBC Being Human web page launched three prequel videos that introduced the three main characters by explaining their back-stories. Mitchell's was set in the 1960s, George's was a video diary of his visit of Scotland where he got attacked and Annie's involved her as a ghost terrorizing a couple who had moved into the house.
