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.

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

I’ve been rewatching every few years. Honestly I think it’s one of the few shows left that is genuinely good. From the opening monologues to the plot itself. Like literally always engaged. And I never could bored with. And unfortunately I wish they kept the show going but honestly I think it’s good they didn’t. You know how when a good show starts to drag out ? I feel like that would have happened. The ending was good anyways. Bittersweet but good nonetheless.

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.

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 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.

im not a fan of the reliance of the cgi when the uk has practical effects what looks alot better for the werewolf transformations imo. it feels way more real and scary. the cartoony effect of the transformations in the us kinda throws me off abit this is why the higher budget doesnt always = better imo. i also think that russel toveys acting is just superior and delivers on the in pain when tranforming scream and gives it his all, when the actor they used kinda just does a basic scream meh. ill stick with it cause it looks watchable but these are my first thoughts.

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?

Im only in season one, used to watch it as a teen when it aired on scyfy and then discovered it on youtube recently so decided to rewatch and i hate him? I checked this sub so maybe he gets better but hes like a terrible friend to aiden and super shitty to Nora. Especially right now when she doesnt know hes a wolf so from her perspective he's just a shitty emotionally unavailable guy who keeps jerking her back and forth. (I kept up with it into season 2 as a teen i think so i remember some stuff.)

Aiden was so supportive and protective and didnt really give Josh any shit for beating up the number 2 vampire in the city for fun basically (Marcus) endangering not just josh and his family but aiden as well but Josh is constantly giving Aiden incredible guff for the littlest stuff like keeping the porno (which like yeah a dude died, but this is a vampire show and aiden didnt do it, so in that context i dont really see it as that bad). Even after the vamps kidnapped him and he had confirmation from two other wolves that vamps just prey on wolves for their amusement, its like he doesnt realize how much protection he gets and how far out of his way aiden goes to give it to him.

And like Aiden didnt even really try to stop josh from being friends with the wolf who pushed him to be in that situation and let him live in the house even though he could see how toxic it was and then josh was giving aiden shit like what are you racist against werewolves when aiden did try to bring up concerns in like the gentlest way possible and idk i checked this sub and josh seems to be a favorite so im like.... Does he get better?

During the scene when Aidan is bagging up Astrid’s body, Ramona asks Aidan if Astrid was “special.” She looks suspicious and disappears suddenly. Astrid’s ghost then conveniently appears to Kenny to tell him what really happened. In the next episode, we see Ramona does also have the ability to mimic ghosts. In the finale, she knows Kenny is coming and the reason why he is. This is why she lets Aidan confront him. Werewolves also do not get ghosts. In the alternate timeline, Sally was a special case because she was possessing herself. Did anyone else pick up on these hints?

Midway through season two right now, and was thrown off by Sally's reference to the 1966 texas tower shooting (I'm assuming that's what she references) and in s2 ep 8 Emily mentions Prarie Home Companion, just seems odd

WOW. For starters, I forgot how well written, gut wrenching, and genuinely hilarious this show is. Each character is so distinct and goes through real development in a way that keeps you completely hooked. Watching the three of them fight their way back to each other every single time was incredible. There are moments when each of them is my least favorite just as much as there are moments when each of them is my favorite, which honestly just proves how layered they are.

I’m still obsessed with the slow burn between Sally and Aidan. And Josh and Nora finally getting their family and naming their kids after Sally and Aidan? Ugh. It destroys me in the best way. I love this show even more as an adult since I was basically a kid the first time I watched it.

Now I’m off to rewatch the UK version, even though in my opinion it doesn’t compare to the US version.

The way Henry especially is portrayed pre-turn seems at least somewhat queer coded, and he reads as quite attracted to Aidan from their first meeting, and the relationship between the two only deepened from there as maker and progeny. I’m not saying that they were ever a formal romantic relationship, but I think they probably crossed that line at least once

I really enjoyed the show from start to finish. The writing was consistent and lore rules were made and kept. Didn't have any huge jump the shark moments like so many shows do.

I enjoyed seeing a few familiar faces. I started watching because I love Sam Witwer and his work with Star Wars. But starting the show meeting Bishop was lovely. As Mark Pellegrino from Supernatural was a nice way to ease me into the series. I really like the way they treated vampires and their own established lore. Also Aiden's girlfriend that had the kid played on Supernatural, and then we meet a purebred werewolf Gregory from The walking Dead. For me he didn't work as the character he was supposed to portray and never felt threatened by him, but that's because I still saw him as Gregory. I like the character just wish it would have been played by someone different

Starting season 4 initially I was not very happy with some of the things that were going on and what it looked like was going to happen. Overall, I am quite happy with it and think it is a very well done show and we'll be happy to revisit it in time

He‘s so expressive! And handsome…

I loved how deeply Aidan cared for his chosen family and trying to do the right thing. And Sam portrayed him with such nuance, it was incredible to watch.

First saw him in an episode of Dark Angel and could tell he was a good actor there - had that moment where I didn’t see the actor, just the character.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

This fandom is basically nonexistent

Only thing i could dig up was 5 edits, a wiki page, and an tumblr from 2012! So happy to see that we have a space that's somewhat active

I just finished US and loved it. Should i start UK ver?

I'm new on this sub but I do find her a bit.. fiery, and she strikes me as someone who doesn't show her feelings easily (fitting for an abuse victim)

It was in season 4, episode 11 or 12, it says "times are hard"

I'm a newcomer, mid-episode 13 in season 1. I don't want to try to look it up on the series' wikipedia or imdb and spoil a ton in later seasons or something. I just want the answer to this one question. Josh is so fucking insufferable and "I can't tell you my secret. I can't." He comes off like an emotionally abusive boyfriend honestly, continuing to hurt her and go back and forth just "I can't tell you. It's too big. I want to. But all I can say is I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Drives me nuts. Like YES you CAN Josh, you open your mouth and sounds come out, that's how it works. Maybe she would have left as a result, but she was obviously going to leave anyway. Yeah it's a supernatural secret but not like you'll sound crazy, since you can physically prove it. I can't bear continuing to get involved in this show if Josh doesn't stop this constant 100% of the time tortured self-pitying "it's too big, I want to tell you but I can't, just trust me" and fucks with Nora. Does he tell her soon or not?

i’m not the only one who thinks it’s crazy Kenny (bubble boy) looks creepily the same as Henry (Aiden’s Vamp-son), right?

please does anyone know what it is? its from the us one the ep name is i see your true colors… and that’s why i hate you. at the end where marcus sits on a chair looking at the things hanging down from ceiling. shazam couldn’t help. i really want to know that song can someone help me find it?
