yours_forever Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 When is the second season supposed to start? Hmmmm? I have watched this one and the BBC one. There are lots of similarities. They happen in different orders though. If it follows more of the BBC one it's going to get really interesting I have to say I love this cast too... I liked Annie in BBC more than Sally in SyFy, but other than that, I love both werewolves, vampires, and Josh/George's gfs Although the SyFy actress is much prettier than BBC. I like how these guys worked the kid in better than BBC too.... in BBC Mitch(Aiden's character) offered the boy's mom for him to change the little boy and the mom and boy left town after he changed. I was thinking, don't new vampiress have "hunger issues"? The mom would have no way of knowing how to handle that.... This one actually made sense. I also like that in the BBC version Annie(Sally) became visible to the human world for a short while. Some were even able to touch her for a little while. Quote

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE Posted January 19, 2012 Author Posted January 19, 2012 Being Human Season 2 Review: Syfy's Fanged, Furry, Ghostly Drama Is BackThe second season of Syfy’s Being Human returns this Monday, taking us back into the dangerous world of three twenty-somethings who are attempting a life of relative normalcy while living as a vampire, ghost and werewolf. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a drama series that is often (and rightfully) praised for the way it used metaphor to tackle issues young people deal with while focusing on the demon-infested town of Sunnydale. It still feels far too soon to draw major comparisons between Buffy and Being Human, however one of the Syfy series’ biggest strengths is in the way it looks at the lives of three young adults who are aren’t willing to completely embrace the dark side that comes with their hidden nature. Their struggle to grow up, mingled with the supernatural element does tread into similar waters as Buffy in that respect, as does the use of humor to cut the tension. Aidan (Sam Witwer) is a vampire who was turned during the Civil War. While he’s attempting to live off bagged blood while he works as a nurse at a hospital in Boston, his past is full of blood and violence from the days when he felt no guilt over his vampiric lifestyle. Josh (Sam Huntington) is a werewolf who has to deal with transitioning into an out-of-control beast each month. Meanwhile, Sally (Maeghan Rath) is a ghost who’s stuck in a limbo world, where only supernatural-beasts like Aidan and Josh can see and speak to her. (Here’s where we get a little bit more spoilery with a few details about Season 2’s first two episodes.)Season 2 picks up in the aftermath of the first season, with Aidan trying to deal with the mess left behind by his now (fully) deceased mentor Bishop. This means looking out for the vampires Bishop had assembled for a secret army, and trying to protect them from the higher-up vampires. Josh and Nora are dealing with his wolfish condition in the wake of Nora’s miscarriage. And last season, Sally missed her door, which was to take her to the afterlife. This might mean she’s stuck in ghost-form and unable to move on indefinitely. The focus of Being Human is on Aidan, Sally and Josh’s attempts to live normal lives and not lose their humanity to the temptations presented by their true natures. This is something that the three characters share with one another, despite the fact that each faces different challenges. Season 2 seems to have found a way to hold on to the series’ initial premise, while also taking the story further as each of the characters deals with what’s ahead. For Aidan, moving forward means once again facing his past as he’s assigned a challenging task in exchange for the promise of true freedom from the vampire hierarchy. This involves a “vampire princess” (played by Dollhouse‘s Dichen Lachman). Josh and Nora are attempting to move forward, but Nora hasn’t revealed to Josh that he scratched her the month before. And Sally makes a new friend in an old classmate and discovers a new way to pass the time, which could end up sending her down a dark path. What works best about Being Human is the way Aidan, Josh and Sally are set up to feel like real people. They haven’t delved so far into their natures as supernatural beings to lose the traits that make them human (or in the case of Aidan, he’s found his way back to humanity), which makes them relatable as characters. The use of humor, the music featured in the series, and the way many scenes are often filmed with an especially light, almost over-saturated look, offsets some of the darker elements of the series. In the end, the finished product is a darker toned drama series that doesn’t wallow completely in the negative. There’s a balance that works, which makes the show fun but also builds suspense. Fans of the first season of Being Human have good reason to look forward to the series’ return to Syfy. Season 2 brings Aidan, Josh and Sally back together and takes each of theirs stories further, introducing new challenges right away and delivering more of the fun, dark, suspenseful drama we came to appreciate in the series’ first season.
