Also, as I may have mentioned before, The BBC (original) version of Being Human is just ridiculous...in a very good way. As silly as the premise is; a ghost, werewolf and vampire living together, they make it work. It is indeed scary, gory and dramatic when it needs to be and like proper English television, the humor is peppered in to break the tension (or increase it) always at the right moment.
As for the American version of Being Human on SyFy, I gave it a chance. I admit, I wholly expected it to suck and be a stale representation of the BBC one. Although in some ways it was when the show started, it found a footing all its own and turned out pretty good. They took the basic premise and characters from the BBC version and made it original again. One of the rare times I have really enjoyed a SyFy ‘original’ show.
