I been watch it and a great show, really smart stories with just enough mystery to keep you coming back for more, plus Annie is super hot.
Who would of though a Vampire, a Werewolf, and a Ghost living in apartment together could be this good.:biggrin:

LOVE this show, and I appreciate that they are fleshing out the main characters before the real story gets going, which usually happens on British tv.

My fiancee and I watched this show for the first time this past week and immediately added it to our DVR list.

It has been getting better with each episode. Imagine that, a character driven show about Vampires, Werewolves and Ghosts. Only the BEEB. :wink:
And Annie is MUCH hotter than Billie Piper. And a better actress than Billie was at first too.

Hmmm.
I watched the first episode and was kind of underwhelmed. I guess I might have to go back and take another look if it picks up steam.

The second ep is better, worth watching.

I liked the original Pilot.
I didnt like how they adjusted for the series.

It nearly didn't make it to a second series & it's only when strong word of mouth from it's early BBC Three viewings began to be noticed, that comissioning editors startedto notice.
It's a marvelous series which manages to use it's limited budget brilliantly. Thankfully it's a programme set in Bristol that isn't filled with shots of the bridge either.

Just saw the season 1 finale last night on BBC America. Strong ending, wrapping up the story arc and setting things up for a future storyline. Annie got ramped up quite a bit. It was awesome to see her take charge and be tough after a season of moping about. I look forward to the new season. I love smart shows that turn things on their ears to get peoples attention.

Just got done watching the 1st season. Great series. Can't wait for it to come back. Too bad it'll probably be 6months after it'll show in the UK.

This is how a good project is done. Started slowly but picked steam and ended perfectly. Can't wait to see Season 2.

Great night for TV last night with the returns of Chuck, Being Human, and Big Love.

Season 2 opener was interesting, but kind of messy with so much going on, and it varied with moments of great drama to some poorly written scenes too.
It's fun though. They need to do something about Annie though, she looks like a peanut wearing a bad wig and wearing the same grey cardigan every episode doesn't help.

It is a bit 'ooooo, we can do this and this and this and talk about this, and do this', so it's a bit of a crammed opening episode which does work against it. However it's still a load of fun and they make great use of some splendid location filming too.

The BBC have some quite fun videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oekbT4q1jRc&feature=related) that tie in with the new series, and there's a short prequal to series two here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7mi4-wcG6Q&feature=related)

I think she is way prettier then Billie Piper, however since we are on that subject the girl who plays Annie was on a Dr Who episode. So was George and Nina. Both were adorable!
I love that show. I went to the panel for it at Comic Con and it was awesome. I also heard that SyFy is making an American version of it that should be coming out this summer. I'll be honest and say that they don't stand a chance of making it as good as the orginal is though I don't think.

I really enjoyed the first episode. Lots of good set up for the rest of series 2. I hope this get released on DVD here in the States. My region free player is a bit on the junkie side so I'm not quite ready to pick up the UK DVDs... yet.

She's wearing the clothes she was murdered in and has worn them consistently since the show started, you dopey sod. Ghosts don't have ghost wardrobes, fashion sense is kind of irrelevant when only a couple of people can see you.

lol I know that, it's just dull.
She can do that Charmed bollocks throwing vampires around and stuff, and she can make a dozen brews and now work in a bar, is it much of a stretch for her to be able to change her appearance a bit?

I saw the trailer for Season2 a few weeks back, and decided to catch up on the series. I manged to find all the eps online, and watched the last season one ep a couple of days before season 2 started.
The second ep aired tonight. It was good. I really think Nina needs to get over herself and just accept stuff, lol.

HUGE improvement last night. Bit dark and depressing but it seemed to have a much better grip on the situation and the dialogue was of a much better standard.
Also, TERRY FUCKING WOGAN

I agree on almost all points (watching the repeat on Fridays due to scheduling conflict). The first episode was disappointing, but the second was much better. To me it felt like it got back the balance of horror and humour that the first series had.

I've just had a huge catch up session of the series so far & it's fun, especially as I'm spending chunks of the episodes working out where they've filmed it, but there's something a wee bit missing & I can't work out what.
