Being Human

Though it's another rare British venture into comedy-fantasy, Being Human delivers a different premise to Misfits. This time the tale focuses on Annie, George, and John, a young ghost, werewolf, and vampire trying to live together peacefully. Rather than embracing their supernatural selves, the three are simply trying to co-exist in the world of humans. Despite their abilities, they simply want to live normal lives, and the city of Bristol makes for a perfect backdrop. Presenting a struggle to manage internal strains and everyday life, Being Human delivers on the promise of its title. It's as much about human nature as it is fantasy, combining a wider supernatural community with highly relatable dialogue.
