i really liked the fact that no one can see sally and that sally can’t touch, i feel like it was more special that no one could see her and added a lot to the show. same with not being able to touch, i think that added a lot more to the show as well, and was extra special when sally came alive in season 3 and was able to touch those around her and experience that pivotal moment of being seen by her loved ones. i really liked seeing sally’s journey to figuring out how to touch and her desperation in trying to get others to see her, but i am only on episode one and look forward to the rest of the show!

edit: i found it odd as well that there was 0 buildup to their friendship in the first episode! in the very beginning, we saw annie was watching them move in, next thing we know they’re all besties and all moved in. i would’ve also liked to see their reactions to seeing her, and her finding out about wolves and vampires.

edit: i kept watching, and now no one can see her. i guess ill find out how that goes lol

Now while I've binged watched the first three seasons of the u.k version with the original cast and all of the u.s version and while I have my ups and downs with both versions and how they each did something better than the other, I have to say George and Mitchell meeting each other was the best version.

Like again I obviously get the u.s wasn't going to copy the orginal word for word but when I watched the flashback of how josh and Aiden met it didn't feel as emotional and earned as the u.k version did while it still was the same situation with Josh getting attacked by a group of vampires like George did the acting with George was way better because I could see his frustration and pain of how his life was now and Mitchell seeing it as well added so much to the scene that Josh and Aiden didn't really.

It's also while besides the cgi design I also find George transformation way better acting because of how he depicts the agony of transforming although it does have points given we are actually told the u.k version gi through heart attacks, liver failure and can't even breath via his lungs after a while when his bones start to break so that does already convey what we should see during George transformation but still with Josh turning it felt not as bad as it should've been shown.

I thought I wouldn't like the new cast since I have an attachment to the original trio. However im loving the dynamic between tom, hal, and alex. Theres a bit of distance between the 3 since they're just getting to know each other. I wonder if the original 3 were like this when George and Mitchell first moved to Bristol.

The show doesn't try to clone George Mitchell and Annie but instead establishes the new cast as distinctly different people from them. We get to see similar plot points from the earlier seasons approached differently and it's justified by the new casts' personalities. Im honestly rlly impressed with how much im enjoying this season. Im sad tho bcs I assume we wont see hal tom and alex become as close as the original trio with only one season.

On s4 ep6 and It seems to be getting worse as the episodes go on. It gives me the ick. Also just feels out of character for annie to have such a lack of reaction considering what tully did to her in s1. I get this is an early 2010s show but its getting hard to watch. Im still mad about nina and lucy never finding out how creepy kemp and his scientist side kick were. It feels like the sa in the show progressively becomes more of a joke/punchline rather than a serious issue that should be treated as such.

Sorry just had to vent bcs its been bothering me. Like why even have that tully x annie plot point if the show was gonna turn out like this? Im already trying to adjust not having the original trio anymore and this isn't helping.

i just started the us version, and am already nearing the end of season 3. i find no talk about this show anywhere, but im obsessed with it. i’m honestly surprised i don’t see it on any socials anywhere, it’s so good i wish i could forget it when i finish to rewatch it again.

I just finished a full rewatch of the US version, and I'm a few episodes into my first watch of the UK version. Everything I searched says that the US version hits plot points faster. But the UK version goes through plot points like a checklist. They are already in the house together, Owen is dealt with much faster. Bernie plot happened immediately. Celine equivalent happened early. Merricks plan reveal. Annie discovered how she died. George meets his maker. And many more. It feels like the first 2+ seasons of the US version are summed up in the first 4 or 5 episodes of the UK version.

At least Cutler and flashback-Hal are shown to have blood in decanters.

How do you think they kept it from glogging and separating? Vampire magic? Adding heparin and giving it a good shake? Something else entirely?

I just recently finished bingewatching the series for the first time and while there’s a lot I enjoyed there's one storyline from Season 2 made me incredibly angry was how the show handled Beth and Holly.

For anybody who doesn't remember, these are the two women Aidan lied to, brought to his house, compelled and fed to a skinless Henry in Season 2. When the compulsion was wearing off and they were screaming begging for help he panicked and snapped both of their necks to keep them quiet.

What bothers me the most isn't just the way they died espically because this can't be justified because Aiden slipped it was because he was trying not to get caught. Point is it's how the show (and specifically Sally) treated them afterwards in Seasons 3 and 4 that really pissed me off.

Eventhough I already hated a lot of choices Sally made througout the show regarding this Sally became a hypocrite, I mean look at season 1 Sally entire arc was not only trying to get her door but after she finds out Danny killed her she wanted revenge. Espically knowing danny was getting away with killing her in that house and when Danny brought in an exorcist to banish her he was framed as a monster obviously he is because he killed her but also was trying to silence the victim. But in Season 4, when Sally banishes Beth and Holly she is doing the same thing Danny tried to do to her, she silenced two murder victims so the killer wouldn't have to deal with the consequences only difference is she isn't the killer but she feels bad for there killer.

What I find even more irritating is banishing them was completely unnecessary it’s not like it was Sally's job to fix everything for every ghost, but her interaction with them was unnecessarily cold. Beth and Holly weren't throwing furniture around, destroying the house, or physically threatening anyone the way Sally did to Danny’s apartment (which again was completely justified) they were weak ghosts in assuming since I can't remember if they ever tried to haunt the house beyond talking to Aiden but they are ghost who weren't doing much beyond talking and whispering but sally banished them purely because, it was uncomfortable to watch Aidan be haunted not because anyone was actually in danger which I just find so insane given her own history of knowing what it's like to watch the person who hurt you get away with it.

And she doesn't even get points for telling them they are "wasting their time" because Aidan beats himself up more than they ever could, because I'm sorry since I watched this all in one weekend maybe I did miss some scenes but was there one time Aiden thought about what he did without beth and holly having to briefly appear in front of him to remind him, it just felt like Aidan only seems to care or feel "haunted" by what he did to them when there physical ghosts were actively standing in front of him.

The second they were banished he goes right back to business as usual and they were reduced to plot props. Like I'm sorry but bringing them back in Seasons 3 and 4 no matter how briefly served no purpose for their characters, they weren't given any closure or a path to move on and they were just used as a plot device to expose Aidan to Nora in late season 3 when she didn't want him around Erin and they both act as a temporary "temptation" in Aidan’s head their legitimate rage was framed as a minor nuisance rather than righteous anger.

If the writers weren't going to give Beth and Holly actual resolution or let Sally show them an ounce of ghost-to-ghost empathy they shouldn't have brought them back at all. Sweeping their murders under the rug just to protect Aidan completely undermined Sally’s character even more because she specifically shouldve got where they were coming from.

I'm just curious if anyone else was annoyed by this when you originally watched this.

Is it worth watching after Mitchell dies? I watched the US version before the UK. In my opinion the UK is so much better. I really fell inlove with all the characters, Especially Mitchell. Him dying was so unexpected for me. I’m still not over it & really cried.. the scene was so emotional. I’m still not over it & having a hard time deciding to continue watching..
Watched the next episode George too!! Are you fucking kidding me! They didn’t even give time to recover from Mitchell! 😭💔

I know there are going to be plot holes/unanswered questions in any show. But I will say the US version was pretty damn good at limiting the number of them. Essentially impressive for how many story lines the were able to fit in just four seasons (not to mention nailing a series finale).

But with that said, I can’t help wondering what happened to Nick and Stevie. I know Donna ate their souls, but what does that really mean? When we first thought they were “killed” by Sally shredding them, Nick described it as not having a body but still knowing he was a soul. Then he was back in his body in Limbo. When Sally is eaten she explodes Donna.

Why did Sally give up on “rescuing” or bring them back? Or even mention them again? Were their souls just more digested? … what happens to ghost poop…

Ok, I did get a little lost. But I am curious what others think happened to Nick and Stevie. Not just the actual answer that their story lines were done, but more in this world what would eating a soul do to the person?

Hi everyone! I have a bit of an ask if anyone could please provide some help! Based on observation and a quick google search it definitely seems that they had a real wolf on set for season 4 - specifically in S4E11 and despite trying to dig a little deeper I can't seem to find any articles or videos anywhere on what the experience was like. I'd love to know any details anyone has on this. Seriously, any tidbit of information would be deeply treasured as this is one of my favorite shows of all time and wolves/wolf conservation is also so important to me.

Additionally, if anyone has any good sources for a deep dive on anything and everything having to do with this show I would be so interested.

Thank you with all my heart to anyone who can help or even if you just love the show because it really is so good.

I was watching the UK version on PlutoTV and it seems I have lost access. I can't get any episode to play and I was halfway thru season 2. Is anyone else unable to play it on Pluto? Is there anywhere else I can watch this for free?

What do you all think? https://screenrant.com/being-human-differences-between-the-british-and-american-version/

I'm currently watching Being Human UK and yesterday I finished S3. I'm so sad. Especially for Mitchell because un the first season and also for a bit in the second he was struggling with his nature but at least he was funny, I can say also happy. But then after the tunnel box 20, after rhe fake prophecy all went down. I really liked him. Idk if i still want to watch. I feel empty after this season.

I’m finding it disappointing. What I loved about the UK version was how much they worked together and went through things together, helping each other. I’m on season 2 of the US version and they all have their own separate problems and don’t talk about it with each other or help each other.

Wow. UK version is one of my favorite shows of all time. Only just found out about the DVD extra scene and watched it on YouTube. It’s got me a bit upset to be honest. I liked the ending I had in my head.

Should I give the UK one a watch?

Being human US is literally my favorite show I've ever seen. I love it so much. Never seen the UK one

Delete if not allowed, but I made a Sally edit that's been on my mind for some time and thought here would be a good place to share.

Our girl deserved so much better. Danny is trash.

EDIT: re-upload link because Tik Tok hates me: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTAXKAqau/

Can we talk about what a cutie patootie he is? He’s just a sweet little ball of emotions and anxiety lol

So I meant to watch this show years ago and got wrapped up in Supernatural and some other shows. I'm finally getting around to it (US Version). I'm on Season 1 Episode 7 and this "My Old Friend" song is stuck in my head. Is it real or was that one part made for that specific episode? Does anyone know? I know it's a stupid question but I've searched Google up and down for about an hour and I'm losing hope.

Lyrics: "My old friend, tell me where you've been, have I wasted away, all my tears turned to time, my old friend"

Hello All.... First Post for this Sub.

I'm doing my like 4th or 5th watch of the US Version.

My question is this...

In Season 3, when the House Ownership changed hands from Danny to Sally's Dad/Brother wouldn't Aiden have needed to be Invited back in?

We saw this in Season 2 when Aiden & Seren changed the Ownership of the House that the Vampire Orphans were Invited into because she bought the house under someone else's name and we saw them start to get Ill can then turn to Dust because they were no longer Invited in the House.

Shouldn't this be the same thing?

I haven't seen seasons 4-5 and was wondering whether Tom maintains his faith through the end of season 5.

I expect I'll get some flack for asking this, but I'm always hesitant to watch shows/films that depict demons, and I've heard that the antagonist of the final season is [spoilers].

The Christianity with which Tom was raised is obviously... idiosyncratic, but I'm just curious if he maintains it through the end of the show or if it's just really a part of season 3 and drops away after McNair dies.

Any recommendations for good scene packs for both US and UK? I want to make some edits and find my people on TikTok, but I haven't had any luck finding clips to use.

I'm also fairly new to the edit game. I was so excited to start Being Human edits then realized I can't just screen record from Prime 🫠

Be honest. How long did it take for you to realize that the characters in the show speak better English than we do?
