Being Human
scanky_chops listed Being Human in her round-up of what she watched in 2009, leading me to check up again on when exactly it's premiering this month, andd...January 10!!! Oh Asia and Britain, why do you spoil me so?? (it will also air in the US but no one knows when - to which all I can say is, thank God for the internet and "friendly" downloading, and if you treated fans and audiences better we wouldn't need to download, hmm?)
For those who don't know, Being Human is an awesome, quirky, charming Brit show about a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost who end up living together. It's by turns very funny and very dark (very graphic - I almost stopped watching but then its heart pulled me through). What can I say? It's kind of like a lower-key, more relationship-based, funnier Supernatural, with 2 absolutely superb (and hot) actors as the werewolf and vampire and an actress who, if she's not quite up their level skills-wise, at least is well-cast personality wise for her role as a ghost. It's got a vibe I've only ever seen in Dark Angel. It was apparently a surprise hit in Britain, hence the second season, and has been quietly making the rounds of my flist, whom almost universally love or like it, for the past few months.
check out the shippy vid that sold me on the series(there's actually not quite as much romance as the vid makes it look, but whatever - the series is still good)
Aaand, for those who have seen it, check out this awesome trailer for the 2nd season!
Mm. Please give me shippiness this time around, mmk? *begs*
