Being Human, Series 2

A werewolf, a vampire and a ghost, living together could have been so wrong, but instead the "monsters" cling to their humanity, make tough decisions and live with the consequences. Meanwhile the normal humans become monsters, losing sight of their reason and giving in to fear.

It combined just the right amount of sadness, and wit and violence and scariness. By the end of every hour long episode I couldn't believe the hour was up, which has got to be the sign of good storytelling, completely submerged.

Even the finale succeeded, where often series cop out with a cliffhanger this delivered resolution and a cliffhanger, I couldn't see how it was going to finish to be honest but thought it was very well done: brave to spend the last half examining the aftermath.

I've deliberately kept this review a bit vague, because if you haven't seen it I don't want to spoil you (when is it being shown in the US?). If you haven't seen it, you really should. If you have I assume you've enjoyed it as much as me.

And the good news? They're making a third series.
