This show is seriously underrated. What I love about it is that it's not humanity's perspective of the supernatural, but their perspective of humanity. It doesn't simply use what they are to make them stand out as cool or sexy to get fangirls, but plays with the psychological and social ideas of what it would like to be a ghost, vampire or werewolf. It's about them dealing with depression, loneliness and temptation on a whole nother level that humans couldn't comprehend. That's golden drama!
I love the twilight reference Sally makes towards Aidan & Josh lol. Aidan is all like "wtf that's offensive" I love this show ! I wish the seasons didn't have to come each year ):
At least the American version has managed to keep their entire cast the past 4 seasons...AND it's slowly turned into it's own original storyline...justttt saying...I stopped watching the UK version when Mitchell checked out.
“We are like different countries in the same continent…yeah we are Africa” 😂 this show is so hilarious I miss it so much we deserved at least 2 more seasons 😭
This feels like a comedy...the british version (that i love) is super dark (and awesome). But this isn't so bad. Like EsmaelMajedi said they're for different audiences...just like the office.
Reading all these older comments makes me a little sad. This goes for anything not just this show, I think people should just stick to the version they enjoy and not fight over what's better. It's a pointless argument because you will never win, you cant force someone to like something, we all have different preferences, it's silly.
I can honestly say that I completely love this show. I have seen the 3 seasons, and I am eager for the next. It is probably one of my favorite shows I have seen. If the UK is supposedly better, then it must be godlike.
Ah, I love it. The actors have great chemistry, and it's now on my set schedule to watch. I just treat it like any other remake, completely unrelated. "Oh my god, that's beautiful. Really. We're Africa!"
It depends on where you're from. The UK has a different style, and America has a different style. This version is designed to appeal to an American audience. I also know some Americans who like the UK version better. Everyone has different tastes, so this version isn't awful, it's just in a style you don't care for.
I don't care what people think of the u.s version I'm going to watch every single episode of it. I'm from America so the British version is extremely hard for me to understand but believe me i give respect to the original and if it was to ever stop production I'll switch to the original but until then I'm staying with this version
I think its ridiculous that British shows have to be remade especially for an American audience, The Office is a classic it should have been left alone and Being Human is exactly the same script as the uk version from what i saw of a couple of the US episodes. We watch 24, Blacklist, Supernatural, Grimm and so many others but we watch them in original form, we arent scratching ours heads wondering what the hell is going on and we get the humour, we don't have to have them especially remade for uk audiences. I don't want to cause any offence here as it's just a general observations.
I'm from the UK and American supernatural shows are just as good as UK ones but being human has to top it all. I absolutely love Grimm, I love being human and I like supernatural but I haven't watched enough to get into it. I'll be sad when Grimm ends. I'm running out of shows to watch since Teen Wolf is on its last season. :(
Which is my point, it completely defies the whole humour behind Being Human, the fact that Americans don't get irony or don't understand the jokes involved isn't our problem, we manage perfectly well watching American shows that haven't been changed and they're still funny. It's the lack of originality particularly in dramas that strikes me.
Plus, they're not trying to replace it. The change the plot completely after season one (while also changing sevel key moments in season from from the BBC version to surprise the audience). BBC is Deeper, where it has more emotion; more yelling, more laughing, more crying. The US has more Depth in its story and universe. The rules for the supernatural make sense (ghosts can't touch or be seen). Plus, there's a straight story arc, while the BBC felt very random with where its story was going.
@thetrueparadisecity Hey but if the UK version is the best tell me why does it struggle to get 1 million views. The new season of the UK vers barely gets 800,000 views.
I feel like those who are calling this horrible are just biased. I've never watched the UK version, not because "I'm ignorant or just american" but because I had never heard of it until very recently. I'll probably watch it soon as I like UK series (Misfits is my fav). Being Human US is far from perfect, but it's not terrible. I enjoy it.
The writers of this show HAVE NOT SEEN THE SECOND SEASON OF THE UK SERIES!!! Everything about the script of this show changes, especially after season 1 which is all the writers' own ideas.
the first video camera was made by a Scottish man based on a german invention and the first photographic camera was german or french i think, i am not going to hate on the american version but you cant deny alot of british shows have been remade over their: american idol, Americas got talent, xfactor, sherlock,being human, life on mars, the inbetweeners, dancing with the stars, top gear, who wants to be a millionaire. once again im not hating just correcting you
I don't understand why the American media moguls feel the need to remake everything. The American people is far more open-minded than they think. They said Harry Potter would never work with an entirely British cast and look how wrong they were.
the first couple episodes are rough, but if you keep with it you'll see that it's same premise and basic characters problems, but a more or less different story. idk, i cringed at first too, but the moment they changed things up was the moment it became interesting.
finally someone who isnt one sided about this. im all caught up to the american and in the middle of the 2nd series of the uk and their both great in their own rights though i like the american more but admit the uk is written better. theres no reason to hate on the american version. you know what it is, we've seen the remakes to great uk shows like skins, inbetweeners, top gear and the immiediate assumption is this will suck too but it doesnt
The UK version was created to suit the UK viewers, the US version was created to suit the US viewers and the humour is completely different. It's near impossible to comapre them because they're made for differet auidences.
Whether or not it's better or worse than the BBC version, it's still a pretty good show. The plot is interesting, the law is solid, there are twists and turns, they base their episodes on philosophical and moral issues, etc.
Im sorry is it me or does that man ( sammy) just NOT know what a comb is? ::eye roll: That is why they made galen have a buzz cut. they didnt wanna attempt to animate THAT MESS!
@NillaVision I agree, our countries are similar and different at the same time. American audiences and British audiences just have very different tastes when it comes to entertainment most the time. I have no idea why, but we do. Contrary to your opinion, I tried the British version of this show and just did not find any enjoyment out of it, I just did not care much for the characters or actors. hmm, this is a really interesting topic though

That's golden drama!
No it’s not, there’s a much better version already with the same themes
i love how aidan is all 'she's a ghost' and josh thinks he's playing. the look on josh's face when she disipates is great lololol
josh is such a dip sometimes
I love how sally got that last word in. Go Sally!
I love how Josh grabs a spatula! 🤣
I love the twilight reference Sally makes towards Aidan & Josh lol. Aidan is all like "wtf that's offensive" I love this show ! I wish the seasons didn't have to come each year ):
yeah thats most likely because of the effects and the postediting when they use supernatural powers. it takes time to make the show.
Why did they have to take this off of Netflix 😭
Ikr
This was on Netflix?
This was on Netflix???
Yep, I watched it a few years back.
Who would’ve thought Doomsday and Jimmy Olsen would be living in the same apartment together.
I miss them

Hi Cas!😊
Some one is in the house and he gets a strainer...
look it's Starkiller!
And maul!
Whoever created this show was genius. Now I have to go watch it all over again ❤
"I wanna be normal, but can't, 'cause I wanna eat people, etc."
🤣🤣🤣
Josh is perpetually on the verge of hyperventilating, lol.
I have a lot of feelings in heart for this series , also for Uk version ! :) Love is stronger than anything !
3:55 still my favorite line in a supernatural show :)
At least the American version has managed to keep their entire cast the past 4 seasons...AND it's slowly turned into it's own original storyline...justttt saying...I stopped watching the UK version when Mitchell checked out.
i just finished the episode Mitchell dies, talk about ruining the mood, I think im going to stick with the U.S version :'(
dude for sure, I like this version way better!
I know!!!!!!!! John, and george, and lasty nina I gave up after nina was dead and george was deadish takeing care of the baby
Well you missed out, US version looks so shit
10 k Bollocks
Way better than the uk version
10 years later And it still good!
“We are like different countries in the same continent…yeah we are Africa” 😂 this show is so hilarious I miss it so much we deserved at least 2 more seasons 😭
Awh how cute she even has like similar clothes to Annie xD
aiden is hot thought lol
I can't believe they actually went with the Twilight reference. Way to stoop to my already bottom-feeding expectations.
This feels like a comedy...the british version (that i love) is super dark (and awesome). But this isn't so bad. Like EsmaelMajedi said they're for different audiences...just like the office.
They meet Sally the 'Ghost' And the ad for Ghost hunters come up...IRONIC
You know they show ads related to the video ...
"We're Africa"
I MISS THIS SHOW SO MUCH
I don't know what it is but I prefer this one over the UK version, I guess even though I am British I prefer American stuff
American Charm is irresistible.
I agree on that plus I love the guy who plays Aiden, he does great voice acting, plus really good looking that I am jealous of him
Reading all these older comments makes me a little sad. This goes for anything not just this show, I think people should just stick to the version they enjoy and not fight over what's better.

I love being human us
I'm a fan of the show whojust wanted to remember how fun the pilot was, and out ouf nowhere ist like WWIII in the comment section... O_O
You make an excellent point. You, sir or madame, are awesome.
Ah, I love it. The actors have great chemistry, and it's now on my set schedule to watch. I just treat it like any other remake, completely unrelated.
"Oh my god, that's beautiful. Really. We're Africa!"

I also know some Americans who like the UK version better. Everyone has different tastes, so this version isn't awful, it's just in a style you don't care for.
Anyway you could put out more episodes of Being Human? I would love to watch the whole story.😊
I don't care what people think of the u.s version I'm going to watch every single episode of it. I'm from America so the British version is extremely hard for me to understand but believe me i give respect to the original and if it was to ever stop production I'll switch to the original but until then I'm staying with this version
Remake, this great series. Even the British version is great
All the best

WoW!!!

3rd season has been confirmed!
which song is playing in the background at the beginning?
Where can I see all the episodes?
lol the chick from freaky friday :P
@a7xrockchick92 its in the distription
Before Darth Maul was resurrected
@Aukya Yeah I know but they didn't take it over, it was only temporary
OMG they should do an episode in the British one how they meet annie :P :D
i dont know. maybe i give it a shot.
I would recommend to watch the BBC one ,
@IROIB8D it is...the character is based on his likeness
Damn right.
Thats the charm of every british show. I personally like the US version better. Its stories are better.
Meaghan Rath is in this?! now i definitely gotta start watching it. just fell completely in love w her on New Girl & Banshee.
Plus, they're not trying to replace it. The change the plot completely after season one (while also changing sevel key moments in season from from the BBC version to surprise the audience).

@thetrueparadisecity
Hey but if the UK version is the best tell me why does it struggle to get 1 million views. The new season of the UK vers barely gets 800,000 views.
Why does the vampire fellow look like Edward Cullen?!
@runswithlolwolves
they did but it was never aired but find bits and pieces around the web or youtube but it has a different actor playing the ghost
I feel like those who are calling this horrible are just biased. I've never watched the UK version, not because "I'm ignorant or just american" but because I had never heard of it until very recently. I'll probably watch it soon as I like UK series (Misfits is my fav). Being Human US is far from perfect, but it's not terrible. I enjoy it.
@Fajjani why would i comment on their acting if I didn't watch this version?
well he certainatly isnt aidan turner
@TimelordsandragonsCo they already did doctor who
@hwuoahc Lucy Liu playing Watson also I think.
the show is still good regardless...i haven't missed an episode....and I wouldn't mind watching the BBC version
wow, i heard that there was a US series.. but holy crap they didnt need to go so far as to put the ghost in ANNIES clothes
The writers of this show HAVE NOT SEEN THE SECOND SEASON OF THE UK SERIES!!!
Everything about the script of this show changes, especially after season 1 which is all the writers' own ideas.
I remeber the first time watchn this and all i see id aidan at the table all alone cryn lOl da fuq was his problem
@TimelordsandragonsCo Didn't they just announce a re-make of Dr. Who in the US? lol..
The US version only has one redeeming feature, the SFX.
Everything that makes a show worth watching...british version wins hands down.
I just discovered this show and I like it. I do not get why people always say UK is all that but whatever the US is not that bad either.
Why did they say that anyway?
the first video camera was made by a Scottish man based on a german invention and the first photographic camera was german or french i think, i am not going to hate on the american version but you cant deny alot of british shows have been remade over their: american idol, Americas got talent, xfactor, sherlock,being human, life on mars, the inbetweeners, dancing with the stars, top gear, who wants to be a millionaire. once again im not hating just correcting you
I don't understand why the American media moguls feel the need to remake everything. The American people is far more open-minded than they think. They said Harry Potter would never work with an entirely British cast and look how wrong they were.
Wow that was bad. I feel bad now.
the first couple episodes are rough, but if you keep with it you'll see that it's same premise and basic characters problems, but a more or less different story. idk, i cringed at first too, but the moment they changed things up was the moment it became interesting.
I hope twilight get mention in the UK version
а мне очень нравится)
why ?????
that werewolf guy is trying to hard to be like George from the uk version
Unlike a lot of you people, I happen to like this show. And I hope it goes for at least 3 seasons.
* Made over here*
finally someone who isnt one sided about this. im all caught up to the american and in the middle of the 2nd series of the uk and their both great in their own rights though i like the american more but admit the uk is written better. theres no reason to hate on the american version. you know what it is, we've seen the remakes to great uk shows like skins, inbetweeners, top gear and the immiediate assumption is this will suck too but it doesnt
i like this version. like if you agree
One of them looks a little like the character from star wars force unleased game
The UK version was created to suit the UK viewers, the US version was created to suit the US viewers and the humour is completely different. It's near impossible to comapre them because they're made for differet auidences.
Whether or not it's better or worse than the BBC version, it's still a pretty good show.
The plot is interesting, the law is solid, there are twists and turns, they base their episodes on philosophical and moral issues, etc.
how i can see the serie
All 4 seasons on Netflix
Netflix my friend.
Blood Magic my friend
Im sorry is it me or does that man ( sammy) just NOT know what a comb is?
