While we're basically on the subject of BBC shows, has anyone other than me seen any of "Being Human" yet? The first series has already run its 6-episode course in the UK, but they've just started playing it on BBC America, and from what I've seen so far I rather enjoy it.

The concept sounds pretty silly at first (a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost live together and try to integrate themselves into the rest of humanity), but once you start watching the show, the premise turns out to be quite un-silly (although there are some jokes to lighten the mood). The characters and their struggles with their supernatural identities are really quite gripping, plus there are shocking plot twists galore! Anyone else have any thoughts?

Have you seen the campaign thats started?

I was addicted to this show while it was running over here, and just got the DVD. It's one of those shows that could so very easily become a bunch of cliches, but manages to stay funny and interesting. The casting is ideal (though i would watch Aidan Turner read the phone book) and the plot twists only get better as the series goes on! Hope you are enjoying!

If a DVD comes out over here, I will definitely be buying it! I think what's really wonderful about the characters is that they're supernatural beings, and that's a pretty big part of them, but they're really just themselves when it comes right down to it. I also think the cast is perfect (I agree with you wholeheartedly about Aidan... he's just so... *drools a bit* *snaps self out of it*).

I'm sure there are some that think this is orientation related, I think most of the fans that are upset are because they liked the character so very much, and said character has been on the chopping block every single season. I think its also the fact that they have lost all their favorite characters in the last two season, and many didn't feel this one was necessary for the storyline. They make a big deal about no one being safe, and prove it by killing just about everyone. I'm mostly speculating here, but it seems more like this was just the straw that broke the camels back for alot of fans. Personally, I don't care about orientation in the least either way. Sorry, if this is harsh, but I didn't care when Tara died because I just never really liked the character. I'm disappointed about this one because all my favorite lines were by that character, and while it is entirely possible that those snappy lines will be given to someone else, its just lost a bit of its draw for me.
Also, rant away, better here than on a random street corner, where they will decide you are a crazy person and lock you up.

That's ridiculous, all he did was thrash around a bit and get a bloody nose, they've shown worse child related deaths on CSI, and they weren't sacrificed for the good of 10% of the population. It was created as an adult show, and the whole storyline was about children being used. If anything it should be more upsetting what happened to the children the 456 took that were still alive than Stephen's death.

does anyone besides me also love the BBC One casting shows with Andrew Lloyd webber ("How do you solve a problem like Maria?" and "I´d do anything")?

@lesmiss: is this the show with bradley james as arthur? I love this show!!
I´m just a bit disappointed that the serie condems magic and the old religion so much
