Great new series on BBC 3!

BBC has been coming up with good series lately on telly, with the new one "Being Human" on BBC 3. It's the story of 3 young adults living in a flat, the only twist is that one is a vampire, one is a werewolf and one is a ghost! The summary from BBC:



Comedy-drama series about three twenty-something housemates trying to live
normal lives, despite struggling with unusual afflictions - one is a werewolf,
one is a vampire and the other is a ghost.

It is more drama than comedy in my opinion, looking into how they try to be normal, like any other human. In many ways, it is just using vampire, werewolf, and ghost to represent the many "different" types of human, and how we all try to live "normal" according to "norm" so that we can be accepted. I definitely recommend this. You can still watch them on BBC iPlayer (for 20 days from today) from Episode 1 to 4. There are only 6 episodes in the first series, but I definitely hope that there will be series 2 coming as the series just gets better and better!

ITV also has a vampire/horror series called Demons which has ended after 6 episodes. The first episode was awful, probably due to the hype building up before the release. The rest are ok but no where near as good to Being Human. I am slightly disappointed because I thought this could be so much better! It's such a waste. You can also watch this on ITV Player, but be warned though, as the ITV Player is one of the worse you can find out there! Constantly buffering and pausing, might not be worth getting yourself all worked up just to watch Demons, and then feeling disappointed! Oh and they have adverts on the online player too. Why can't they just take the technology from BBC iPlayer!

That's probably one of the few benefits of paying TV License!
