Haunted Britain - Vampires, Werewolves and Ghosts

BBC America has a fun new show where a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost share a room. I know, I know, it sounds like another reality show, but it is scripted and far better. The new show, Being Human, is broadcast on Saturday evenings at 9pm EST/8pm CST. The first episode started a few weeks ago and you can catch episode 3 in reruns this week. Episode 4 will start on August 15th.

A few things in the new show are worth mentioning. First, no one likes their plight, so expect a fair amount of moaning. I guess that's what it like being human. For example, Mitchell, the vampire in the trio, does not want to drain humans (yes, the same as Twilight, Vampire Diaries, Buffy, True Blood, etc.). Also, I still cannot figure out Annie. How can she lift objects as a ghost while also walking through walls? Maybe we will get a greater understanding as the show progresses. Maybe not.

I already like where the show is going. For instance, it appears the vampires are planning some form of world conquest and they have infiltrated key parts of the "human" infrastructure. This storyline has promise (of course, it's close to where True Blood has gone, but I hope it has a new twist).
