We started watching Being Human, because I've been intrigued since the concept was floated (a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost flatting together? Heck yes!) and recently jogs to that memory have been coming from all directions.
So we watched the pilot. And then we watched the first episode. One of these things is not like the others. (
One third comparative trope analysis, one third generic rumination on pilot-to-series shenanigans, one third drooling over Guy Flanagan... oh fine, mostly drooling with a thin veneer of thought )
