My favourite new series for a while

What a triumph this little series is. Funny but with a dark edge, engaging story and likeable characters.

My other half and I were hooked and praying they follow up with a second series.

I can't believe it's not better

This really really could have been genius but it wasn't. What a pity. It's as if they had a great idea but then couldn't be bothered to see it through to the end. The finished product was missing a vital part of whatever it was that made the original idea good.

Having said that, the acting is good and the leading actors generally hot (boys and girls). The actress who plays the wolf's girlfriend (Sinead Keenan) is a pretty good comic actress and Lenora is always fab.

Not an unpleasant experience, but please, please find the missing piece for series 2!!!

Wow!

Really gripping, and realistic. It is a must, the writing, acting, musical score and ideas are very sharp and focused. You really get to live with the characters. My favourite is the ghost, she is so sweet! :p Even if you are not morbid at, it will appeal I reckon!

Totally hooked

When I was told to watch a series about a werewolf, vampire & ghost all trying to live in todays society, I instantly thought it would be really far fetched & tacky. How wrong was I!! I was gripped straight away & instantly fell in love with Mitchell, George & Annie. Cleverly written with a bit of a dark side yet funny & heart warming too. Waiting with bated breath for more installments.

Loved it!!!!

being human

interesting story of three different people trying to fit in as normal humans. very good acting from main actors. good supporting actors. not for faint hearted but if you enjoy drama comedy and horror this is exciting stuff. I hope a second series will follow in the near future.
