Being Human

That's your warning, come back when you've seen it, go on I can wait.

Well that set the new series going with a bang didn't it?

Oh the angst of it all.  Firstly the sucker punch of Nina having been killed off screen. A distraught and broken George protecting his daughter or at least trying to.  Annie trying to help but being pushed away, it was a really tough episode to watch.  Considering the ending, which had me in tears on Sunday night (well done Toby Whithouse, I'm not easy to make cry), it could have been angst overload.

Thankfully the new leads were there on hand to add lightness to what was a dark old episode.  Tom who was the Werewolf brought up by Macnair last series, is quite a find.  He is by turns hard as nails, vulnerable, very funny and compelling to watch.  Hal the new vampire is more complex and I can't wait to see how he will fit into the story.

Interesting things I enjoyed, the idea that the triumvirate of Wolf/Vamp/ghost is not unknown in this universe and did it hint that it was a thing of power.  Also seeing a wolf that had reached old-age, and the implications of that.  And a lot of dark hints about ghosts who are thetherless.

Add in the old ones are coming and the future!dystopia subplot and this series is going to be bonkers and awesome.  I can't wait to see what happens next.

I loved the appearance of the vampire recorder played by Mark Williams, he was hilarious.

I thought Russell Tovey's swan song as George was incredibly moving and I cried a lot.
