Being Human (US)	comment	Being Human is a North American remake of The BBC's Being Human (UK), created by Toby Whithouse. It debuted in January 2011 on Syfy. As with the original British show, it centers around a trio of friends, each a different sort of supernatural being: Aidan Waite (Sam Witwer), a Friendly Neighborhood Vampire; Josh Levison (Sam Huntington), a geeky and uptight werewolf; and Sally Malik (Meaghan Rath), a Cute Ghost Girl; they are later joined by Nora Sergeant (Kristen Hager), Josh's love interest who also gets turned into a werewolf and moves in with the others. They all live in an old Boston townhouse where they try, and usually fail, to be as human as possible.While the first season of the American version mirrors the plot of the BBC version's Series 1 to some extent, the plots diverge entirely in subsequent seasons, resulting in two shows with very different characters, lore, and storylines.News of the remake was initially met with a strong negative reaction, as most American remakes of British works end up being relatively poor. However, the show proved to be very successful, being Syfy's highest-rated scripted drama for multiple seasons in a row, and is well-regarded by Toby Whithouse himself. In the summer of 2013, Being Human made it full circle around the Atlantic, with the US version premiering in Britain on the UKTV-owned channel Watch.The show lasted four seasons before concluding in 2014.

Being Human (US) / int_105cabdd	type	Jacob Marley Apparel
Being Human (US) / int_105cabdd	comment	Jacob Marley Apparel is in full effect; ghosts wear the clothes they died in. Sally, because she died (was murdered) right before she was to go to bed, is stuck in her pajamas for two seasons. When her mother is in the hospital and is about to die, she forces Josh to give her some comfortable clothes to wear as a ghost. After being brought back to life in season 3 only to die again towards the end, Sally makes sure she is wearing something other than her pajamas during her second time as a ghost.

Season 3 has Josh and Nora visit a witch in order to help Sally. As in an actual magic-using witch. Josh in particular is skeptical but this is perhaps justified since they've already been to a lot of fake mediums and outright magic (versus something personal and innate) is not something any one of them have ever encountered or even thought about.

Vampirism is a pretty blatant metaphor for alcoholism or drug addiction, werewolves behave like people with PTSD, and ghosts often have elements of a myriad of personality and mental disorders, including depression, schizophrenia, dementia, agoraphobia, and dissociative disorders.

Sally is even worse in this regard, every time she says the phrase "I can help" expect the lives of everyone around her to be worse off then before she met them. That's debatable, given what Bishop was ultimately planning: dominion over all humans.

Josh takes it and keeps it under his bed, and we don't see it again until halfway through the season when he gives it to Cecilia to kill Brynn and Connor. After Cecilia fails to do so and gets torn apart by the wolves, Aidan shoots Connor with the second bullet. Finally, in the last episode of the season, Josh brings the rifle with him into the woods and tries to kill Ray with the last bullet.

"Oh, have you seen my ghost / Seen my ghost, seen my ghost..." Occurs again in Season 2 with Nora and Zoe, and in Season 3 with Trent. Basically, this is the reaction that every ghost has when they first meet another supernatural being. Once more in Season 4 with Robbie before Sally discovers he's died and become a ghost as well.

Bishop feels that the Council Elders are greedy for insisting on killing the humans they feed on and draining them completely of blood. He prefers to feed on willing donors and does not kill them since it is a waste. He's still willing to compel a pregnant woman into serving as a meal for the visiting vampire elders, and has no problem with taking a bite out of her himself. Bishop's standards are motivated by practicality, not morality. Case in point being Bernie. He sends Marcus out to kill two boys in order to demonstrate to Aidan why having vampire kids is a bad thing.

Being Human (US) / int_3c3f28a5	comment	Blessed with Suck: Sure, everlasting youth, superhuman strength, and mind control are all neat perks, but vampires trade their souls for these powers, and are they worth being turned into a cold-blooded murderer for? Some vampires view their condition this way, others don't. See also Cursed with Awesome. Mediums of varying power can talk to and help ghosts, but since their power is passive, any ghost that happens to be around is free to accost them and disrupt their lives. As a result, even a well-adjusted medium like Zoe is something of a loner and is forced to take various measures to have some sense of privacy. Zombies, at least of the form we've seen so far, they get a second chance at life but outside of a craving for raw meat, they also kill anyone they knew the last time they were alive.

Bishop, the vampire who transformed him, is older, although we don't know by how much. Heggeman is stated to be over thousand years old. The other 'Dutch' vampire elders are probably close to that age as well. Mother is even older still since as old as Heggeman is, he doesn't display anywhere close to the level of power that Mother demonstrates and he treats her as effectively a living legend. In the fifties, Suren was almost 700, so she's this trope almost to the year.

Being Human (US) / int_66479d0	comment	Our Ghosts Are Different: They are invisible, incorporeal, and inaudible to most humans, but vampires and werewolves can see ghosts perfectly. Ghosts generally have no ability to interact with the physical world, outside of Sally's emotional state giving her some poltergeist-like powers. Ghosts can improve their control over these powers to haunt people. An exception is any object directly tied to their death, like Sally's engagement ring. Jacob Marley Apparel is in full effect; ghosts wear the clothes they died in. Sally, because she died (was murdered) right before she was to go to bed, is stuck in her pajamas for two seasons. When her mother is in the hospital and is about to die, she forces Josh to give her some comfortable clothes to wear as a ghost. After being brought back to life in season 3 only to die again towards the end, Sally makes sure she is wearing something other than her pajamas during her second time as a ghost. Ghosts remain in the physical world until they resolve any issues still remaining as a result of their death. Once they have done so, a Door to the other side appears for them, allowing them to properly move on to the afterlife. Some ghosts, such as suicide victims, never get a Door, and are theoretically trapped on Earth for all eternity. Ghosts that remain on Earth for too long begin to lose their grip on reality. Ghosts can possess humans who are open to suggestion, or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, but the ghost can get stuck if they stay in the body for too long, and the possessed person's memories will be slightly mixed with the ghost's. Solid iron objects will temporarily banish a ghost, but they will reform in the place where they originally died. Ghosts also cannot cross lines of salt on the ground. Ghosts can be exorcised, usually by trapping them in a salt circle and then using sage and the Lord's Prayer to purify the house they inhabit. Another way to destroy a ghost is to completely destroy the place where they died. Ghosts are able to destroy each other via a process called "shredding", completely annihilating the spirit energy of the other ghost. The shredded ghost is sent to a torturous reality known as Limbo where they are psychologically tortured by existing within limbo by either being forced to relive their death daily or receive a more ironic punishment.note Nick finds himself drowning constantly as he died in a boating accident while Stevie who committed suicide by overdosing on pills finds himself hung from a noose outside his family home watching his loved ones live their lives without him. A ghost can be brought back to life through the use of magic. In two methods, there are strings attached to their new life and are described more in detail under Our Zombies Are Different. In the third method, the ghost is brought back to life and becomes a functionally mundane human once more by reuniting the ghost with their body. The only requirement is that another ghost must be sacrificed as part of the spell.

This is mildly criticized, though isn't treated as rape, despite it effectively being that (Janet is unconscious at the time with her body hijacked, Tim's deceived over what's going on). Sally tries to justify it by saying Janet's willing to sleep with him, though the point is she certainly doesn't agree to her possession, nor to having sex in these particular instances (as, again, she's unconscious).

For instance, Aidan was turned during the American Revolutionary War, not World War 1. The old aristocracy of vampires consists not of European nobility, but of a Mafia-like criminal organization who answer to a group of vampires who live with the Amish to live as they did centuries ago. Some characters (including the protagonists) also own and use firearms in the remake, which would be unlikely in the UK because of British gun control laws.

He then prompts a fight between some wolves and Kenny and Aidan, which goes about like you'd expect. Then after his wife's wolf has sex with Josh's wolf during a full moon he tries to go after Josh, not knowing that Josh's wolf can come out at any time. This also goes about as you'd expect.

Vampires initially have werewolves very much on the back foot, not only because they're stronger than werewolves most of the time, but because they're more organized: vampires can choose who they recruit to their ranks and when, but werewolves can only be created by accident. After the Virus decimates the vampire population and destroys their structures of power, the werewolf population is booming, and they seem to be making a push to reverse the trend if not wipe out the vampires out entirely. By the final season the possibility of an all-out war between the two factions is brewing in the background, but the protagonists never get wrapped up in it.

Being Human (US) / int_8ba9512b	comment	Our Zombies Are Different: Through the use of witch magic, the dead can be brought back to life in various ways. Dark magic in particular puts some constraints on the revived, which is what Sally, Nick, Stevie, and Ray all experience differently. In general, ghosts brought back to life through any form of dark magic can see other ghosts as with any other supernatural being. If a witch brings back a ghost through the use of a spell requiring the heart of a murdered human, the revived has full faculty of their original bodies. However, they must never meet someone they knew when they were originally alive (anyone the ghost knew in their afterlife is not affected). Anyone the revived ghost meets is doomed to die and instead of their normal door to the afterlife, they get a door directly to the witch who cast the spell who devours the soul devour to extend their life. The restriction on seeing people from their pasts can be lifted at the cost of the revived giving up their soul directly to the witch upon their second natural death. The revived ghosts seem to be unusually hungry at first, eating simply more than a normal person would (perhaps as a result of not having eaten anything in years), and they will (apparently) live a long and happy second life and die a natural death. After Sally renegotiates her deal to save her brother, all bets are off. The three begin to decompose and become insatiably hungry as a result. Sally begins to lose her hair in clumps and pierces her own cheek with her toothbrush. The only way to stave off the decomposition is by consuming raw meat, but simple ground beef isn't enough and they begin to need recent kills to restore their bodies to normal. Sally uses a mouse caught in a trap in the house. Nick eats the neighborhood cats and nearly cannibalizes Zoe. Stevie eats his parents (already killed by the initial curse) and then the mailman. Sally manages to hold onto her morals enough to not eat anything else alive, but when she has to go seek out help from the medium from season 1, Aidan allows her to take a bite out of himself so she safely travel without the fear of decomposing on the way there. When Nick and Stevie die, their ghosts get a Door soon after, but Sally is horrified to discover that the Door is the same for each of them, meaning they are not going to the afterlife but are becoming food for Donna, as she will be destined to be upon her death as well. However, none of the above actually applies to beings actually considered "zombies" within Being Human, as "zombie" specifically refers to a revived corpse with no will of their own. Donna brings back Ray in this manner, tracking down his corpse using his heart that was given to her by Josh and Nora to revive Sally. She uses Ray to kill the medium who tipped Sally off on how to defeat her and then has him face off against Josh in her safehouse.

But she learns in Season 2 that she can possess certain people, particularly when they're open to suggestion or intoxicated (some people simply cannot be possessed at all). The experience is pure ecstasy for ghosts, as they are able to experience the senses of touch and taste again, but there are obviously ethical dilemmas about stealing someone's body, which is why certain ghosts won't do it. Sally ends up repeatedly possessing a woman to the point where the woman starts 'remembering' some of Sally's memories, both alive and dead. The poor woman gets all the bad ones too, such as Sally dying and the Reaper coming after her.

Being Human (US) / int_9f63d4f1	comment	Our Vampires Are Different: Vampires are created when another vampire drinks from a human, then that human drinks the vampire's blood in turn. A vampire is immortal, but will become weak and sick if they don't drink blood, and will become mindless with hunger if deprived of it for too long. The only way to kill a vampire is decapitating them or impaling them with a wooden stake. Vampires are unnaturally strong and fast. The older a vampire is, the greater these abilities are. Garlic is not harmful to them, but it will expose their vampiric traits (fangs, black eyes, etc.). Juniper, however, paralyzes vampires and robs them of their abilities. There was a time when sunlight was fatal to vampires, but they seem to have adapted to a daytime existence. Aidan describes them as being "photosensitive". Most vampires seem to deal with this by wearing sunglasses during the daytime. The Must Be Invited rule is also in effect. If a vampire enters the home of a mortal without being invited, their skin begins to boil and burn. Legal ownership of the home also ties into this, as ownership can be transferred and all prior agreements with vampires rendered null and void. Vampires can compel humans into thinking whatever they want. Some vampires are better at this than others. Aidan is particularly bad at it, and often relies on others to help him. A pandemic hits the world between season 2 and Season 3 which causes just flu-like systems in humans, but the virus itself and antibodies in the humans who were infected are deadly to vampires, causing them to come out in sores before crumbling away to dust. There is a vaccine for vampires though, and it's werewolf blood. Vampires that are sired shortly after the vaccine is discovered are horribly deformed and have an insatiable thirst for blood that cannot be sated. The only upshot is that they're capable of compelling other vampires. Vampires can be restored back to life through the same magic that brings ghosts back to life, but the long extra years they lived catch up to them quickly, and they age decades in a span of days.

Not to mention that Josh is the only one of them that still eats food. The show revels in its ability to go from, admittedly, Black Comedy to the more depressing nature of the show. A really good example goes to Kat and Aidan admitting that they love each other and like their mundane life together to Suzanna flogging herself in penance as we find out through a flashback that she killed their son Issac during her first feeding.

But as the season drags on, everyone falls back in line in the final episodes: Josh is scratched by a transformed Liam who is then murdered by Aidan in human form, a new vampire mob forms in the power vacuum left from the deaths of Mother and the Dutch, and Sally's new lease on life is revoked after she has to renegotiate the details with Donna to save her brother leading her to begin decomposing and dying a second time.

Marcus is basically the loyal good son who does what his father tells him, but Bishop only has love for the prodigal Aidan, and that burns him up with jealousy. When he finally gets a chance to act on his jealousy and kill Aidan, he ends up getting staked himself.

On the other hand, not only are werewolves overly aggressive near a full moon (and this was the next morning), but Connor was already taking wolfsbane because he was hyper-aggressive to begin with. The thing is, Connor was so idiotically cocky in that encounter, it's possible he wasn't trying to taunt Aidan, but legitimately trying to congratulate him for surviving In season 4, the entire wolf pack. Since Josh can turn at will, they lock him up and torture him until he turns so he can make more wolves, then show up at his house and hold Nora at gun point. What kind of reception were they expecting to get after all that? It's no surprise they're all viciously slaughtered by him when he transforms to protect Nora. Of course, Ramona helped.

She's also hiding that he scratched her, and that she too will become a werewolf, until she's trapped in the car during the next full moon. Aidan reveals his vampiric nature to Kat in season 4. She can't deal with it and not only breaks it off with Aidan, she cuts Josh and Nora out of her life as well. Aidan takes it surprisingly well...after going on a bender with Kenny.

Being Human (US) / int_f8b3fa5d	type	Our Werewolves Are Different
Being Human (US) / int_f8b3fa5d	comment	Our Werewolves Are Different: The werewolves in this show are of the "transform during the full moon" variety, and are mundane humans that were bitten or scratched by another werewolf. When transformed, they have the appearance of mangy, four-legged wolf creatures with a vaguely human bone structure in their limbs. Werewolves have dramatically improved senses and strength in the days before and after the full moon, and a transformed werewolf is one of the only beings that vampires fear. Like in most werewolf fiction, werewolves are burned by silver. Any wounds a werewolf sustained while transformed will heal, unless inflicted with a silver weapon. Werewolf blood is extremely toxic to vampires, inducing seizures and spontaneous bleeding even when ingested in small quantities. It is however the only way to stop the effects of the Virus that has been killing vampires, negating the effect of the human antibodies wreaking havoc on vampires bodies. Being a werewolf can cause premature aging if someone has the curse for a long time due to how arduous the transformation is. Pete, an older werewolf who Josh and Nora meet, reveals that he is only 39, despite looking well into his 60s. A human and werewolf couple cannot have a baby, but two werewolves can. Their offspring are known as "purebreds", and are far hairier more wolf-like when they are transformed. Purebreds are constantly agitated and aggressive, and have the benefits of enhanced senses and strength all the time, not just around the time of the full moon. Werewolves can form packs as social groups, but according to Pete the only successful packs are ones that arise as a result of loving families. A werewolf can un-curse themselves by personally killing the other werewolf that turned them but only when that other werewolf is human. Anyone that the cured werewolf turned is still cursed, and if the original werewolf is killed by anyone else, the curse is permanent. Josh succeeds in killing Ray after their standoff in the cliffhanger for season 2, but Nora remains a werewolf. During season 3 he is scratched by a transformed Liam, cursing him a second time, but Liam is ultimately killed by Aidan, permanently turning Josh into a werewolf, again. After Josh is turned a second time, he becomes a new kind of werewolf that is the wolf every day of the month except the day of the full moon. It is not clear what caused this other werewolf form to exist, as not only was he turned by the purebred Liam, but he also encountered his inner wolf when travelling with Aidan and Sally to Donna's magic safehouse. Sally uncovers a magic spell that will "cure" him of this condition, requiring it to be cast during a waning lunar cycle and willingly donated menstrual blood; this produces a magical knife that has to be stabbed through the Josh's heart. Things don't go quite as planned, because Josh is freed but now apparently is a whole other kind of werewolf that he can transform at will and without the full moon. It's eventually discovered that this is because Josh's inner wolf has come to fear him and wants to take over, after Josh forcibly tried to suppress him for years. Sally helps him come to terms with his inner wolf through ghostly possession so both human and wolf sides can agree to the previous set up between them that puts Josh in charge every day but the night of the full moon.

Being Human (US) / int_fc9b6be5	comment	Foe Romance Subtext: The conversation between Aidan and Bishop seemed pretty intense...not to mention Bishop looking in on Aidan when the other vampire is feeding. In episode 12, we see Bishop with tears in his eyes when Celine says Aidan keeps running away, not coming back. This is right after he practically said that he turned Aidan because he loved him. In episode 13, at the end of the Boss Fight, Bishop reaches up towards Aidan's cheek, almost a caress, as Bishop is being beheaded BY Aidan. Hard core. At one point, Bishop says something to the effect of he wasn't going to allow Aidan to (live to) hate him anymore. In season two Aidan's seeing hallucinations of Bishop, and Bishop essentially tells him he never could've killed him anyway.
