Starting to like “Being Human”
Ha – the title of that post could be read many ways, especially if you read the quotes as irony. Anyway, I’m starting to like this show. Some clues that I was going to like it: 1) The Arctic Monkeys song in the first ep when George is running through the woods. 2) The reference to over-the-top “Changing Rooms” designer Lawrence Llewellen Bowens, and 3) the “Hotel California” reference that wasn’t trite. The show also taught me some new slang, including “pedos” which I guess means “pedophiles” which the flatmates are mistaken for in an early episode. As with many of my favorite shows, it mixes humor and drama with savvy pop-culture references, like the great character Gilbert, a ghost stuck in the 80s with musical tastes similar to my own mpey favorites like The Cure adn The Smiths. Anyway, as the drama in this show ramps up, I’m starting to care about the characters and where they’re going next.
I agree, I thought this show would be corny but it was superb. The BBC rocks.
