TV: Being Human (Series 2: Episode 8 of 8)

Well, what to make of series two, now that the final episode aired last night? I had high-hopes of the series, after series 1 just blew me away.

I guess my expectations were raised as soon as the latest series began, two months ago. All-in-all though, I�ve found it all a bit disappointing and uneven; with all-over-the-place storylines and just a tad too much gore (or is that me, be an oldie?), and too many characters who came and went. The acting has been great though!

The scene in last week�s episode in the train where Mitchell, the vampire took revenge on a carriage load of humans brought a whole new meaning to being a blood-donor!

Last night�s episode continued the blood-fest with a shocking scene that would have caught every viewer by surprise � yuk!

The best bit was in the final 15 minutes or so; Annie being banished to the �other side� and the baddies getting their just rewards (I hate stakes..prefer them medium to well-done).

The final scenes of Herrick�s resurrection and Annie being seen on a TV screen on the �other side� with the boys promising to get her back left the viewer hanging - and set the episode up nicely for a third series.

Will I watch the next series, if there is one, you bet!!!!

So, series 3 � are you listening?

• Fewer characters
• Less blood (just a tad)
• Focus more on the three main characters
• Cut the religious undertones
• Stop copying Life on Mars (The TV as a world-separator)
