If you haven’t seen it before I strongly recommend you check it out. Trust me, it’s amazing. <br /><br />Plus, <i>True Blood</i> fans should get a kick out of seeing Stephen Moyer pop up in a couple of episodes as a vampire.Mark Greighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984193299389764649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-12456965483992654362010-07-02T20:28:17.435-04:002010-07-02T20:28:17.435-04:00Hi Trousers,

Being Human is brilliant, and well worth the watch, especially before the American remake starts in September. It doesn't bother me whether it gets reviewed or not, but as a bunch of people who are so into scifi/fantasy tv, its a show you really need to watch.<br /><br />And it's British, and only two series old, so only 16 episodes.

I've never seen the show and I'm not sure if any of our contributing writers are into it, but the show has certainly popped up in the suggestion box more than once.
