Being human series 1, part 2

Feb 20, 2012 23:26

Watching the second half of Being Human series 1, I have to admit, I steeled myself for disappointment. There are too many shows out there that started well and went nowhere. It seemed hard to believe that the show could finish the first series as strongly as it started ( Read more... )

Must. Resist. Spoilers. :)

Be strong! It's definitely worth staying unspoiled.

In my haze of enjoyment, I forgot to mention that the series 1 has some nudity, explicit sex and violence. Not really too gratuitous, and some might consider it a bonus, but forewarned is forearmed.

It also made me wonder if Mitchell was really that dumb about people - Yes, yes he really is. Made me raise my eyebrows a few times too. He has to be the world's most naive hundred-year-old murderer.

You make some great points about Annie. She's one of my favourite characters of all time I think, even though I don't always like her. I love how even after her moments of great strength and conviction, she doesn't magically turn into a stereotypical Strong Character - she's still at times insecure, annoying, pathetic, frustrating and controlling, and she's still the same person who fell for Owen and convinced herself it was all okay.

Haha! And also, as dumb as a box of rocks ( ... )

I have a bit of hard time buying Mitchell as the century old reformed badass - ohhh, yes yes yes. This is a problem I've had with all vampires in everything, pretty much. I love what Being Human does with the new vampires - how they get all excited and overdramatic and freak out a lot - but I'm still unable to look at any of the 'old' vampires and see them as anything other than the actor's age. I'd like if there was some sort of explanation, maybe because they're dead they can't actually learn new things which is also why it's so hard to break out of the cycle of addiction? The closest they got I think was Herrick, who was so obviously playing a part that the little glimpses of his evil side really were ageless & not-human evil. Then again, maybe that was just because the actor was a bit older.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on Annie now you're in series 2!

Thoughts on series 2 coming soonish? I'm about 1.5 episodes in ( ... )
