Format:DVD
After really enjoying the first two series' of Being Human I was excited to hear that a third was due to be broadcast on BBC3. This then is the aforementioned series; noticeably darker then the (admittedly pretty dark) previous series and significantly more adult than the first, the third series opens where the second left off - Annie imprisoned in some kind of nether world between Heaven and Hell and awaiting her ultimate fate.
This series sees the return (albeit briefly in at least one case) of several key characters from Series One, while relations in the new house are changing rapidly.
Robson Green appears in this series in an unusual role, whilst Mitchell gains a fanboy and Nina has potentially devastating news for George.
Still billed as a 'Horror/Comedy', the show is now more like straight horror with quirky characters and the odd spot of (extremely) black comedy. The characters undergo various traumas in this third series, although the focus is very much on Mitchell as he attempts to atone for the Box Tunnel Massacre at the climax of the previous series.
The series ends on something of a cliffhanger and it will be interesting to see where a fourth series will go after the devastating events that conclude this one.

A vampire, a werewolf and a ghost share a flat. Sounds like the opening line to a bad joke doesn't it? And as a result this did put me off Being Human. However after hearing nothing but good things about this series i decided to give it a try and it's safe to say i am now completely and utterly hooked. A brilliantly acted, written and made series, not a bad episode in this at all, the cast are all excellent, we have a vampire in torment over his past which to be honest is becoming a cliche now but Aidan Turner is excellent as tormented vampire Mitchell and the rest of the cast are all equally good too. Twists and turns throughout which makes Being Human one of the best British shows in years and the finale is simply superb. There is an American remake which i am curious to watch but as much of a fan of American tv as i am, it'll have to be pretty damn good to beat this. Being Human is i suppose you could say a British Buffy as it does have elements of that classic show's humour and writing. If you're already a fan you'll love it and if like me you're a newcomer i think you'll be hooked if you like quality drama which is what this show is. Roll on season 4!

This series starts where the last left off - obviously. Mitchell, George and Nina are looking for a house and with the full moon coming very soon they are forced to take an old B and B in Barry South Wales. (I spent a lot of time in Barry as a kid and if you are not familiar with the place - it really is a bit rough.) The wonderfully tacky decor they don't have time to change is superb.
Mitchell is on a mission to get Annie back from purgatory. This will involve trials and supernatural tribulations which will test him to his very limits. In the meantime George and Nina's relationship is developing, there's a teenage vampire who manages to combine being 43 with having the hormonal urges of a 14 year old boy, a South Walian vampiric infrastructure, a father and son werewolf team hunted by vampires determined to run "dog fights", Mitchell's brutal slaughter with Daisy from series two is the big news and the police are closing in and as we saw at the end of series two Herrick is back.
The series is dark - darker than the previous series which were pretty dark. Mitchell is a tortured soul even more than previously, having to live with what he's done, his growing relationship with Annie and protecting Nina and George. George and Nina are entering a new phase. But the story with Herrick is superb. He is back but is he really the same Herrick? Jason Watkins is brilliant and his interaction with Erin Richards as the detective Lucy is really chilling.
So it is often funny, gripping, dark, engaging and all the things that the first two series were. A fantastic follow on from series two and with a set up for series four.

Did not want it to end, gripping drama with a little humour added. Looking forward to series 4. The acting is very good and you fall in love with the characters.

Being Human Series 3
Didn't realise that the DVD was going to be a different zone from here, cannot play it...... Probably would've been a good idea to highlight this to potential customers.
