Being human returns to BBC America this Saturday, February 19 and what you know, BBCA people have enough to send along with the first two episodes of the new season review. For those of you unfamiliar with the premise, it seems little as potentially dirty the beginning of a joke: "a vampire, a werewolf, and one part ghost dish together..." "George (Russell Tovey) is the werewolf, a 20 far-too-bright-quelque thing trying just to try to be along and stay under the radar in the hope of not curse someone else." Annie (Lenora Crichlow) is the Phantom, playful young woman desperately during the boys in the absence of a life of its own. Then there is Mitchell (Aidan Turner), vampire from brooding with a century of sin behind him, trying to stay out of the blood.
Last season saw the show get his foot a bit as it has expanded its out mythology with the gang arguing with a defrocked priest trying to rid the world of supernatural threats. This contrasts with enough class tone working-class show (his two electrodes are janitors in a hospital, after all) and you get a smart reworking of the kind that helps minimize sometimes items off - it show. End of season 2 with the gang to withdraw to Moise after a bloody rampage by Mitchell has a lot of people after them - with inactivity, phased girlfriend George, Nina (Sinead Keenan), which George inadvertently infected during the first season. Serious the crisis for the first game of season 3: what happened to Annie, who was apparently exorcisee the priest and dragged into a kind of purgatory.

Much of this episode relates to Mitchell attempting to rescue Annie purgatory where she is trapped, while Nina and George try to find a place to safely the Wolf with the first full moon in their new home comes. There are also a few new characters loup-garou--drifters, really - the plot in what is sure to be one of the main stories of the season.
Then this is the thing--for all the virtues of the show, his greatest weakness is Mitchell. Turner plays which is on the page quite skillfully, it's just that what is on the page tends to be somewhat austere. Mitchell is a constant, incessant mope, wracked with guilt ready with an apology. Worse still, everything about him seems to effect: hair greasy, stringy, often low expression, mittens gloves pushing a slightly battered jacket.
It seems that Toby Whithouse showrunner recognizes, with one of the main plot of the episode involving the AAPC need dark to deflect blame. I dive in the plot too much more than to say that it is good to see that the difficulty of the personality of the character is something that authors hope to address.
Side plot involving stray werewolves made a detour a bit on an underground arena, but more than anything else than this bit it feels like a feint. Certainly werewolves to seniors and younger seem like they create you more opportunities for history of George and Nina later in the season.
Adam family
I knew it until this episode but I finally have the main theme of the human being: it is not on the slopes embrace their humanity, is their attempt to be simple people of the middle class. Awareness came to me like George and Nina collision part of sex to rescue Adam, a 46 year old vampire trapped in the body (and the State of mind) boy teen. Coalesced to me is basically, character who want to live a life simple and indefinable, but thanks to their curious are trapped in a spiral endless supernatural drama.
The hollowness of this episode is actually quite clever with George and Nina - people even though they are – trying to find a way to save the young vampire himself. He spent the last 30 years being protected by his parents, fed to it of their own blood. When they can no longer feed himself, he is desperate, particularly because he never met any other vampires that can guide or teach him. Mitchell is not willing to help, partly because it has its own problems arising from some of its most heinous actions last season in large part because Mitchell himself trying to go without blood, and the last thing he wants another vampire around is desperate.
Richard enter: And Emma, two incredibly wealthy vampires have a method to control their hunger and are willing to take the Adam young. The disdain they have Nina and George concerns not only the mythology of the show about vampires who have something against werewolves, but this upper crust very clearly against something middle class show do not. George and Nina can have a rough set of circumstances, but for all their problems they already have souls and basic human dignity - things Richard and Emma are clearly missing.
It is not so far that the episode is serious - still once, comes from two of its tracks crashing an orgy of good, old fashioned. Comedy bits are actually very efficient, which isn't really a surprise: the show tends to better function in its most anarchic bits.
Which is all sorts of a long way to say that the third season is a strong start. Yes, I still don't care for the character of Mitchell, but it seems that this season may be subject - well, not its redemption, but his conversion to something better. I am also very intrigued by some of the developments in mythology. Yet again, without spoiling anything too, there is the introduction of the prophecy of the overall plot seems irrelevant with more or less realistic elements from the previous season, but it is also logical sense of escalation of supernatural elements.
In passing, the character of Adam apparently got his own series of shorts called human fate, the first spinoff you can watch below:
