While watching the "Torchwood," I started watching a new BBC America series called "Being Human." In it George (Russell Tovey), Mitchell (Aidan Turner) and Annie (Lenora Crichlow) are housemates who each have a secret. George is a werewolf who transforms every full moon into an uncontrollable animal. Mitchell is a centuries-old vampire who has given up drinking blood. And Annie is the ghost who haunts their house.
Annie is stuck in the house that she lived in with her fiance Owen since she fell down the stairs and died. She is shocked when George and Mitchell can see her, but she soon discovers they aren't normal human beings. The three decide to live together and to fit in with the regular human world.
Unlike the HBO series "True Blood," which also incorporates vampires and other supernatural beings, this show is much better at mixing humor and suspense. "True Blood" tends to stay in the realm of weirdness, but the BBC evokes more of a range of emotions. The gore is kept to a minimum, and though some of the special effects are weak, the writing is pretty good and the storyline keeps me interested.
For anyone into monster movies, it's worth a watch.
