Verdicts on the first of the new series?
I wasn't sure at first but after watching it twice I think that it is going to be another good series :thumbsup:

I thought it was a bit bizarre..

The bit with the man inside that tubey thing (cant explain it very well) when they said he wouldnt change, and then he died. Bit weird. I didnt really get it.
And George seems completely out of character..

Will have to watch it again

I thought that it was lacking a lot of the humour of the first series, but then I suppose that they have to introduce a whole new storyline to get them through the series and there's not much time for other things in the first episode. We'll give it another couple of episodes.

I do like this idea-agree this time round the humour seemed a bit lacking,but the Irish Vamp remains an obvious attraction ,but can anyone fill the gaps please??as I missed the last episode of series 1 and only caught the latter half of episode 1-s2, firstly-how come people can now see the ghost(can't remember her name at mo') -can she still do ghost stuff??,who are the two characters stalking George?and who is the ghost sensitive guy which the paranormal/ghost hunter character brought to the house?? -or better still is there a repeat of this -time/day please if known.Thanks

They were experimenting on stopping werewolves changing using a pressure chamber, unbeknown to the man in the chamber they had done this before and obviously failed in the same way, the pressure appeared to stop him changing at first but then he began to, but couldn't change properly that's why he begged them to let him change but they didn't stop, eeek!

George was very different wasn't he? but had killed in the last series and was having troubles with Nina.
I agree Medusa this series is looking to become a lot more serious and dark than the last one... we shall see.

Well it kept my attention and I'll be interested to see how it continues although I do hope they manage to make some more humorous sections as I really liked that in the first series.
If nothing else as well it's got to be better than the never ending police drama's and the like.

I don't get this show at all. It's not funny enough to be a comedy or scary enough to be a horror and too much of it is about the characters' personal lives and seems to be aimed at teenagers. It's just Hollyoaks with fake blood!

It's just a comedy, lighten up!

Glad I stuck with it. the 2nd one is much more like the fist series- funny.

George is back to his normal self. the quote of ''hes your murdering fugative- if you want to keep him you have to look after him'' amused me

I'm enjoying it, not something I would have normally watched, but it's bit quirky and sinister at the same time!

I thought it was fantastic, I have really enjoyed this series, I think it's great how iot can be funny, creepy, scary and touching all at the same time.
Did you see the little announcement afterwards that series 3 is underway and you could get a sneak preview on the website?I went to it, but maybe it's not up yet, cos I couldn't find anything.

Comedy in its loosest terms.

I am a big fan of being human, but did find it a bit hard to get into this one for some reason had to watch a couple twice to get into it, but i loved it. Going to watch them again but can not wait for series 3 now with how it ended tonight.

Yes I saw the announcement, but didn't bother to look as I thought it would be madly busy.
Blimey Sundays won't be the same now without Being Human to look forward to for another year as well :sad:

I was really shocked last night. I didn't know Annie was leaving - I love her character, she seems to stop it all getting a bit too dark. Can someone tell me why people stopped seeing her - I must have missed that episode.

I am looking forward to series 3 -especially the drop dead gorgeous Mitchell.

Me too :sad: I have a feeling that she will somehow get back though, well she managed to get back to pull watsit name in through the door didn't she ;)

I can't properly explain why she became visible but it was to do with the ones in the electrical equipment that were trying to draw her in, when she learned how not to be taken then she lost her visibility again...bad explanation I know, I will shut up :hihi:

Thanks - I think I understand - I must have totally missed that episode. I wonder if they will somehow get her back. They need a similar character to make the dynamics work - Nina is too serious to fill that role.
