The inability to be normal: Being Human
E 'started in 2011 and we take up our posts.
often surprises for television not come from U.S. but from the production of the United Kingdom, which increasingly have original and amusing.
the series is no exception Being Human created by Toby Whithouse ( Doctor Who, Torchwood ) for the BBC, now in its third season later this year. The story of a couple of friends who share an apartment and make friends with a girl. Nothing unusual except that the two boys are a vampire and a werewolf while the girl is a ghost. With a premise like that would be easy to fall into ridicule, but the series looks at the bottom of the malaise of these three characters who must deal with their curse and still groped for live a normal life as possible.
The strength of the series, despite being a fantasy adventure and a series of episodes episodic, and in the development of the characters and their relationship to life and death. They try with all their strength to live a normal life: Mitchell the vampire, he does not drink blood and tries to keep a low profile to avoid being involved in delusions of grandeur of an illegal association of vampires who want to rule the world, but end it becomes a leader. George, the werewolf tries to come to terms with his curse that can only be made for even one day a month, still haunts him and will come to infect the only woman he loves. Annie, the ghost is trapped in the house where she died - killed by her boyfriend - and tries to escape the doors that open to take it elsewhere. To search for serenity attempt to regain a certain physicality and will work as a bartender in a pub but that will not work.
The viewer is bound to the character and takes a back seat to its supernatural nature. What I care about these characters are their fears of everyday life and the eternal. Therefore even if the series is not without funny moments, the tone is very dramatic. And this is the most dramatic character is precisely that of years, the only really dead yet so linked to their life, especially since that includes the true nature of his violent end at the hands of her boyfriend will not be punished by the courts but will pay his behavior. Annie tries to understand his situation but is determined not to go behind the door that will lead to the very end and where you know you only find eternal despair.
The series is set in Bristol in 2011 and is expected to remake U.S. as often happens with successful series made in the UK, and that will be set in Boston.
