Man, I loved both versions of this show. They had such distinct writing styles that you could feel the cultural outlooks of the time. Snark vs Sardonics, Pretty vs Practical. Even when the humor overlapped it was played uniquely. It really emphasised the differences between UK and US, which I found really cool and insightful.

[@amaracrow0501]

Right! Classics

[@magmadude35]

I love British TV but didn't know there was a British version until after I finished the American version and was looking for if there would be another season. I thought the American one was done really well and the actors brought their A game. Plus Jesus they cast the perfect guy to play a werewolf who could use puppy dog eyes as a human 😆

[@alfiepainter5903]

One of my favourite things about being human (I haven't seen the US version) is that most vampires looked like completely ordinary people, as opposed to the seductive or intimidating monsters

[@dianapennepacker6854]

Shows from the UK generally just have normal looking people in general. I kind of appreciate that as an American where 99% of peolle are 20-40 year old models.

[@smccomas01]

I watched the UK version I liked it, I then tried to watch the US version. It was just disappointment.

[@greenguy369]

I love both versions of the show. I will say the UK version lost me towards the end when it was clearly falling apart and they were trying desperately to hold on. As a result the USA version feels like a more focused and complete story.

[@thewostr]

When it was finalized that there was a whole new lineup of vampire, ghost and werewolf, it should have ended there, the cycle repeated itself. The ending was confusing and OTT.

[@cuachogaidh]

Agreed, i preferred the American version. Which is saying something as I'm a Scot. I never finished the uk version, when they replaced everyone I fell off watching.

[@CynicallyObnoxious]

The US ending had me crying

[@bananatiergod]

It's something that happens often with Steven Moffat, his worldbuilding is great but sometimes he tends to grasp at straws

[@crimsonffire]

Loved this show when it first came out. Did get little bit crazy by the end. But was a great dynamic between the three characters. Ultra violet is another British vampire TV show , didn't run for very long but has idnris Elba in it really good and different take on vampire.

[@Greeny445]

The vampires depicted in this show are my favourite of all time, I love how they are almost like addicts. So human yet so animalistic given the circumstances. It really shows the sadness and depression of actually being a vampire.

[@Trojianmaru]

Something you missed (and I don't blame you, cause it seems most people did) is that before George the werewolf died, he was beginning to grow stronger and stronger, even in his human form. Usually Mitchell is far stronger than George, but there was a scene where George and Mitchell argued, and George gripped Mitchell's arm. Mitchell tried to casually pull away, but found himself unable to, and even complained that he was hurting him, visibly confused as to how that was even possible. Sadly, since the main cast were all replaced and the plot got what basically amounts to a reboot, we never got to find out what that meant, and why George was slowly growing stronger even in his human form, to the point of being stronger than a vegan vampire. The werewolves introduced later had some animal traits while in human form, but they were also clearly strong cafe fighters, so it's a lot harder to tell if their strength was just the strength of a naturally strong human fighter, or enhanced by being a werewolf (especially since they weren't normal people even without the werewolf blood, living more like wolves pretending to be human, than humans with a curse) But I will never not be annoyed that such a great show got the Sugababes treatment, and had the entire cast replaced, as if anyone was gonna watch what amounted to a completely different show, wearing the skin of a dead show we used to love.

[@desmondedwards6628]

I agree, and I also agree that werewolves can tear apart some of the strongest vampires even Mr snow

[@thebrownboi5443]

YES, I've been waiting so long for this. I prefer the UK version but the US version has it's appeal. To me, these are the most realistic and scary portrayal of these monsters, not in that they seem plausible in our world but more so that if classic monsters like these existed in our world they'd be as portrayed on the show.

[@DiRTIWilson]

Honestly I loved both UK and US version, the US one does divert from the original and the lore is slightly different but I still really enjoyed it.

[@dragoncastle771]

You should look at the Vampires from Young Dracula, it's a kids show but the vampires and the lore around them in that show is really interesting. I loved it show as a kid! This video was great and Being Human was awesome!

Oh, Cogan, since you're reading vampire books I suggest reading: The Pureblood Society. It's a book that's come out in the past few years (it was also written by a friend). It has some shocking scenes and a curious perspective on the supernatural world (as I think it's just the first book in her series).

[@eckoschreiber]

Great series, great essay, fab! I prefer the UK version, probably for seeing it first but was glad for it getting a broader recognition. And I think (western) Vampires are depicted more feudal and Werewolves more rural, which makes for nice social commentary;o) Now a couple for your consideration: - The Gates (vampires, werewolves, succubus in suburbia, hidden gem imo) - Dreden Files (decent adaptation, werewolves, lycanthropes, hexenwolves and loup garou) - Jekyll (UK), Jekyll & Hyde (transmogrification, both great in their own regards) - Lost Girl, Trese (Aswang, Shifter) - Wellington Paranormal (What we do in the Shadows (movie) spin-off) - Death Valley (werewolves, vampires, zombies mockumentary) - Hex, Discovery of Witches (Nephalim) - Sanctuary (N. Tesla as a vampire) - The Fades (spirits, gory) - Point Pleasant (Satan's offspring) - The Imperfects (Chupacabra, Banshee, Succubus, not a joke;o) ) - Black Blood Brothers, Wolf's Rain (anime) - 30 monedas and anything by Alex de la Iglesias - Bastard Son & Devil himself, Motherland Fort Salem (witches) - Diablero, Los Espookies, Constantine, South of Hell (exorcism) - Fresh Meat, Dead Set (zombies) Games: Bloodborne lore and Blackbook, Thea the Awakening/Shattering if you ike slavic folklore like in the Witcher Movies: Night-/Day-(/Twilight-) Watch, last Vampire Princess (russian), Bloody Mallory (whacky) and last years Renfield had two great Nicholas'^^ Lastly if I may, Kohlrabenschwarz (pitch black ?!) is a short new german series, sort of a bavarian Grimm, great myth and fun! And explains why so many fairy tales have a Hans/Jack^^ Cheers!

Being Human UK was such a good show! I'm so glad you're covering this one

[@SaguaroBlossom]

Absolutely love this show, especially Aidan Turner and Stephen Moffat. Also the actor who played the devil. And his TV speech about humanity was scarily spot on. Just *chef's kiss* It did get a little weird after season 3, like you said, but I was able to get back into it fairly well, and it ended strong! I also appreciate that it didn't get dragged out forever and ever. (Supernatural is prolly my fav TV show ever, but not so much Seasons 12-15)

Technically what the older werewolf say is true, every-time that you have an injury, like breaking one your bones, when the wound heal, the bone is stronger, that is what martial artist use to make stronger their limbs and have a far pain threshold, but is more easy than done, because you have to support a lot of pain to rise your threshold, you feel like all your body is screaming.

[@JonnyEnglish86]

the vampire book recommendation is ACTUALLY amazing thank you for the recommendation

[@gorymarty56]

Loved both versions, met the American cast at a convention.

[@badrequest5596]

The reason why myths say vampires dont have reflections is because mirrors used to be coated in silver which was considered "pure" metal, but should reflect just fine in other surfaces or even modern mirrors since they're not made of silver anymore

[@Schelbig]

And silver nitrate used to be in photography as well that’s also where the myth that vampire can’t be captured photography came from as well

In the 90s, there was a series called Ultraviolet. It was on Channel 4, I think, in the UK and was directed, again I think, by Joe Aherne. It starred a young Idris Elba and Jack Davenport (from Pirates of the Caribbean). I don't know if you've seen it but it's worth a watch 🧛

Love both versions of the show. Though it gets really boring when they kept adding new characters but you know it is hard to add new things from a pitched idea.

Though the story makes no sense but you get a kick for the action in you’re into it.

[@margarettaylor601]

I drink in the New Found out, the pub featured in Being Human. I know it sounds stupid but the locals can be pretty strange & the areas where the rest of the series took place apart from the last 2 all have dark pasts . For example the real slave caves under St Mary Readcliffe Cathederal were used, a water pumping station hut on the grounds of Ashton Court where the werewolf changes was used as a hideout in the woods for a local murderer on the run. Strange program indeed, a lot of local background & inside information was used which is why it is so intreguing & compelling. M

[@quintusix7315]

I watched the US version only so I appreciate this. I know a thing or two about world folklore and general supernatural beliefs that may answer some of these questions. Crosses and religious symbols - it is believed that these symbols, like anything that's supposed to ward off supernatural entities, do not have innate power in themselves, but depend on the conviction and intention of whoever is using them or made them (which I think is why Mitchel can wear George's cross). Wooden stakes - it is believed that Wood is a substance that absorbs strong energies (which is why we knock on wood to avoid jinxing something), so maybe the wood aborbs their cursed energy, preventing them from regenerating, or something like that. I have a lot more, but i forgot at the time of writing this lol
