rodo: chuck on a roof in winter (being human)
[personal profile] rodo
I am so in love with Being Human *squee*.

I know the show’s premise sounds a bit like a bad joke (So a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost walk into a bar…), but it’s very adorable, promise. Especially George, the neurotic werewolf. Hell, I even like the vampire.

A lot of things were changed, and the only George (Russell Tovey) is left of the main cast of the pilot. However, I like the new actors. I still miss the old ones, but I think the new Mitchell does a good job. I’m a bit undecided when it comes to Annie, because I preferred the old Annie’s personality, even though the new Annie is a lot easier to understand, for one (and I thought I’d got the hang of British accents). I think her interaction with George works better as well.

The vampires were less cliché and thus much creepier. It’s probably because I don’t buy the Anne Rice version of vampires, so the nice and rather unremarkable policeman works for me.

I have a thing for werewolves anyway, so I kind of expected to love George. But Russell Tovey makes him so much more adorable than I ever hoped for. I think if they had replaced him it would have been far worse for the series.

Russell T. Ovey (as Russell T. Davies calls him) makes everything so much more adorable! <3

And agreed -- I don't think they'd have been able to do this without him. I just really don't understand why they replaced the other two. They were perfect!
