Yeah it's going nightmare wait 1 weeks for the conclusion but this one so far has best remake since exactly copying the UK version in UK version they were all living together.

In the UK version his sister was the patient and they all moved in together in the first episode but the ghost let her out before the end

This is the best of the remakes but still very similar to original and with the UK one being 15 min longer is probably why this ended with the cliffhanger
Author: arksongbird80    Time: 1-18-2011 08:40     Subject: Reply 27#27 codebreaker's post

I liked it and with people in the US having not seen the UK version it should go over fairly well.  Since I've seen all the UK episodes, this was kinda boring.  Too similar for me, but I do hope it does well!

I'm petitioning (writting all over their website) syfy to do a another generation of Firefly or and earlier version or something!  I'm trying.

She was okay.  I'm glad she can't touch anything.  Annie being able to make so much tea was just kinda weird.  Ghosts aren't suppose to be able to do that kinda thing....

You know they really haven't changed the script much which makes me somewhat disappointed.
I was hoping for this version to tell a similar story but in a different direction instead we are getting the high school production of Cats.

Look like Josh has found new werewolf friend but he leading him down to the wrong path and he need to realise it before it's too late and Aidan starting to loose control she really is bad influence on him. Sally deciding it's time for her guy move on with her best friend was nice

Syfy Renews 'Being Human' For Season 2



EXCLUSIVE: Syfy has renewed hot freshman drama series Being Human for a second season. In its January 17 debut, Being Human, an adaptation of the British series, averaged 2 million viewers to become Syfy's most watched new scripted series winter premiere since Battlestar Galactica in 2005. The series, produced by Zodiak USA and Muse Entertainment, has solidified its status as Syfy’s most successful winter scripted series launch in 6 years with a season-to-date average of 1.8 million viewers. “Being Human has proven to be a winner for Syfy on all fronts,” said Syfy's president of original content Mark Stern. “Using the original format as inspiration, showrunners/writers Jeremy Carver and Anna Fricke – along with a superlative team of writers, cast, and production – have created an amazing, compelling series in its own right," said  We can't wait to watch Aidan, Josh and Sally continue their struggle to be human in the second season!”

Being Human stars Sam Witwer, Meaghan Rath, Sam Huntington and Mark Pellegrino as three supernatural roommates – vampire Aidan (Witwer), ghost Sally (Rath) and werewolf Josh (Huntington) – who share their secrets and a Boston brownstone. It is based on the praised British series, Being Human, created by Toby Whithouse and produced by Touchpaper Television, part of Zodiak Media Group. Carver, Fricke and Whithouse are executive producing with Michael Prupas and Rob Pursey. Being Human marks the first scripted hit for Zodiak USA, which is also behind ABC's new unscripted series Secret Millionaire.
