Being Human
I'm always in search of new and good Tv shows, and I'm really happy when my friends suggest me something they think I could like. This is the case. In fact, speaking with Francesca, she told me I should watch this brit show (and half my heart already loved it lol) called Being Human. Yes, because it was a sort of fantastic thing blended with emotional stuff. I was immediately interested.
So, Being Human is the story of three very peculiar friends, because they are not human at all. Mitchell is a vampire, he is strong and old, but he is tired of the way vampires conduct their lives and is trying to live without killing people. And then we have George, a warewolf, infected during a trekking in Scotland, who can't accept his condition and delude himself thinking that the wolf that comes out during full moon is not part of himself. Annie is the last. She is a ghost, a really young one, she has only recently died.
When Mitchell and George move to this house in Bristol, they find out that the house is infested by Annie. But, not being something normal themselves, they can relate with her and they become friends.
The thing that I find really beautiful in this show is that the three struggle everyday to regain some of the humanity that they have irrimediably lost. They want to be normal, to conduct normal lives, be good neighbours but their condition is really far from being normal. And so they have to face the fact that if people knew what they are, they would always been considered monsters. This hurts a lot. They want so bad to be human, but they can't.
Another thing that I really like is the completely normal context in which these creatures are put. Life goes on like everything is perfectly normal, around them, people go to work, come back home, have fun, go out and so on. And this underlines even more the fact that they are not normal people.
And then there is the bonding between the three of them. They have a really deep, special relationship, they understand each other and support each other. Even during the most surprising things or the most shocking ones, they are there for the others. And in this they find the strenght to face together even the biggest of the problem.
