Good New Show

Jul 31, 2009 15:53

I caught the premiere episode of Being Human on BBC America. It's about a vampire, werewolf, and a ghost who share a house. Yet it actually wasn't the hokey crap I was expecting. The beginning made me think it was going to be heavy handed drivel much like Hex was. But it was smart and most of all funny. I've been wanting a new supernatural show for awhile now (Dollhouse is more science fiction and Heroes really needs to stick to science fiction and step away from all the avert religious symbolism it just can't pull off). Buffy the Vampire Slayer always managed to walk the line between drama and comedy well and from the first episode of Being Humans I may just be able to expect it from this show as well.

Speaking of Heroes, you guys, I'm sorry to say, but this will probably be the last season. Bryan Fuller left once again, so that cannot bode well. Plus they are making Claire go gay in a clear last ditch effort to attract viewers. First off, the show already had a perfect opportunity to have Claire get it on with Elle, because their chemistry was palpable. And really if anybody should be gay, it should be most of the male cast. I want to see Peter, Mohinder, Nathan, and Sylar shirtless, sweaty and getting it on.
