Being Human


I don't know if anyone has seen BEING HUMAN on SYFY...but it's amazing! It's an American-ized version of a popular British television show and so far I'm impressed.

A vampire (who tries to stay on a blood bank diet) and a werewolf (who wants to be normal) move in together...and meet a recently deceased ghost who can't leave the house.

Aidan is a vampire who was changed 200-plus years ago during, I believe, the revolutionary war. He currently is a nurse at a hospital in Boston, trying to blend in. Once a true monster, feeding on humans, he now drinks from real blood bags.

Josh is a werewolf who began his transformations two years ago when he was "cursed". After meeting Aidan, he got a job as an orderly at the same hospital, which as close to the medical career he had been after...before the curse.

Sally is a ghost who has only been dead for six months. She and her fiance moved into this fixer-upper in the hopes of a happy life...which is where it ended, after she fell down the stairs. She's unable to leave but is grateful when Josh and Aidan move into the house...and can see her!

So now these three inhuman creatures live together...trying to help each other out...while trying to help themselves too.

It's very addicting. Check it out...SyFy on Monday nights at 9pm. Amazing!!
