  • It is stupid of the US to recreate a show just to have Americans acting in it. This show, Skins, The Office, Queer As Folk etc. Is it really so difficult to listen to a British accent, all you Americans reading this? Seems like such a waste of money when the original shows are perfectly good to watch as they are and certainly don't need improving (which you usually don't manage to do anyway).

  • US version is better as always..

  • The UK version is.... AMAZING.

  • @glam52queen yeap!!!! it is!!!! annie has something that makes me love her!" and who doesn`t????

  • I start first whit us version,i like alot,but this look very good

  • This version looks okay. I like the US version better. It's my eyes and ears that have to enjoy it, so please do not attack me for saying I like the US version. 

  • I've only seen the american version...but people shouldn't be so judgemental or create an overall bias on what type of ppl watch the version I watch..ppl put themselves on such underserved pedestals 

  • Ponify makes all titles better.

  • I like both versions of this show but i think i do have to say that this one is much better than the other one. i do believe this one was the original.

  • Is this the one that starts on Syfy tonight?

  • @Zorayda85 the Syfy one is the US version

  • Eh, US is better but this looks ok.

  • uk one is way better by far.. the american version is good to but its just not the same.

  • *sigh* It is virtually indisputable that British television is much, MUCH better than American, but, alas, I am a Yank. Yes, the UK version of this show is better, but I can't watch that one.

  • I would love to see this show but on syfy and they are going to show it soon. I would like to know what channel syfy is on.

  • I thought this was just a stupid game on facebook!

  • I like the UK version although I haven't seen the US version. I guess i would watch the US version for sam Huntington only. 

  • werewolf rulez !

    .

  • lol I remember this. I have to say that I do like the American version, but I like BBC America's version MUCH better!

  • Vampires <3

  • So fuckin nice to finally see vampires who would rather kill a girl than take her to the prom.

  • @bromixsr tell me about it!

  • @graphflicker

    Are you kidding me? The american version's cool. But come on, the BBC version's amazing! I watch them both, being since I like monsters and all lol

  • cna anyone please tell me when the BBC being human next season airs? i have been waiting for it for a good while.

  • @piloneman

    BBC America website has put up a banner saying the Being Human 4 is coming soon. An I am glad I have been going through with drawls. I want to know if they are going to find a way to bring Mitchell back.

  • @Docfan85 hmm. I read that on there, as well. I'm waiting for them to air it here in America, though. But do let me know their airing it on tv :)

  • It's alot better than it looks in this promo, i think Aidan(Mitchell) is hot as hell even though i usual don't care much for body hair it doesnt seem like he has as much to me as some people are saying, George is cute and funny who cares if he's not super huge, tough, or masculine you don't have to be that to be a werewolf, and I think that people can see Annie because she's found friends and it's kind of tieing her more to this world and making her a little more human-like

  • True blood<3

  • the uk version is serious... us version have a bit humor n comedy which is fun to watch...

  • I think the American version is more better

  • I WANT THE VAMPIRE FROM THE PILOT T_T

  • Shows like this and the equally brilliant True Blood prove that dramas about vampires and werewolves don't have to be wet teenage Emo stuff (no offence to the Bella and Edward fans).

    This is gothic drama of high quality for grown-ups.

  • this maybe bloodier than the vampire diaries

  • To the morons who keep comparing the syfy ver with the bbc ver guys its a show... DIRECTED IN ANOTHER PERSONS IMAGE. Who the fck cares what you think. What you think is bad others think its good. Surely even you tards who compare can admit that BOTH OF THEM HAVE PROS AND CONS WITH EACH OTHER. Each one has its own unique style otherwise there is no point in remaking a us ver... might as well just dub the voices

  • looks pretty damn stupid to me TRUE BLOOD is number 1

  • Vampire, warewolf and gost ! Just Wow :D I think it's way better than Twilight !! Specially when vampire is thaaat hot, lol. Though I don't think Ima watch the new series, if Mitchell aint there ://///

  • I think what some are forgetting, or neglecting to note is that it is the creator who decided how he wanted the u.s. version to be. Without him, and his vision for a u.s. version, syfy would never have been given the chance to show such a great show. I pesonally liked how Toby Whitehouse made the u.s. version slightly different from his original. we see the same happen when books are made into film. To this end, I watch and support both shows. Its better than what the other tv nets offer.

  • I'm American, and I think the UK version is ten times better the US version, just sayin.

  • @axel107107 u got that right!!!!!

  • the american one is better than people are giving credit for , the US version did a better job of connecting the plot. The acting and overall feel was better in the UK version though. Its kind of dissapointing because the UK version is SO good but still could of been so much better if they just did a couple things that the US version was able to do , overall i would say UK version is better though , its EXACTLY like SKINS from UK to US how there were good things and bad things about each......

  • another twilight shit. goddamn. creativity is dying.

  • this is lame, but what else can i expect from a british show

  • Comment removed

  • i need to finish watching this show... watched the first season... it was a good show

    

  • oh what a beautiful show i LOOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEE IT,

  • @andersonxpl .. More people were watching Being human then Outcasts! Too bad it look like a great Show! it's all about which show bring in the most money!

  • hi anyone can tell me where I can find this serie I am watching on tv but I lost firts chapters thanks...

    adios :)

  • Intelligent human, with a bit of horror, and ironic sex appeal. Luv this version better!

  • I have sum friends u know a vamipre a ghost lolz

  • you FU##ING CO@@SUCKERS stop giving spoilers or i'm gonna hunt you down and F##KING #SS-R@P3 YOU

  • Show is active or dead

  • I'm American too

    Never seen the American version and I don't want to. I remember the first time I watched this on demand... Yesterday I came to see the name again and it rung a bell so I knew I seen the first season.. Spent hours watching season two and tonight I just finished the rest. I personally in love with Annie got damn she's beautiful lol but this show was amazing . So now mitch is dead.... Now what? Season four? Remember I went on demand(comcast) to watch this so I don't know if this s

  • im american and i like this one better

  • Like US-made "True Blood" that addresses the daily struggles about real-life issues through cosmetic makeup (the vampires and all that), "Being Human" mirrors what we are going through with in real life

  • Comment removed

  • In "BH" itself, the actors were given space to fully explore their strengths/ weaknesses through their own experiences. The whole thing just gives one the feeling that it's possible to have all these uncommon - "fictional" is more of the correct term - characters to walk amongst us in life. And it didn't blindly follow the hype of certain genre, but rather, it focused more on the dilemmas different people are facing.

  • However after watching the whole of the "Being Human" installations, I started to look out for their English-made films/ dramas that are on the bandwagons to woo audience who watch horror/ supernatural genre. And to my surprise - there were at least 2 other tv dramas that were visually-interesting with good storytelling pace & good lineup of actors (who seemed to pack more punches than some of the mainstream film actors nowadays). Some people are really upping their stakes here & it pays off!

  • I stumbled upon "Being Human" by accident and I liked the way they kept an interesting spin up till the run to its third season. To be honest, the only decent, horror film I only remember is "28 Days Later" (yup, the one that took on the zombie hype. I am more used to the Americans horror flicks since they produced more of this genre than that of other countries.).

  • the beginning line. everything following up to ''their all real.'' is totally stolen from buffy episode one. Giles even has the same expression as her! psht. okay done hatin now xD

  • being human, shameless, skins....where does it stop! remake are stupid and useless

  • i really tried too like this show but unfortunetly i couldn,t not because its bad its just not for me and dont get me started on the american version

  • yeah speaking of american dramas /watch?v=ee925OTFBCA lol

  • I dont know what your talking about american version is WAY better and far ahead of this version this one looks cheesy as hell not well done at all, Americans do a way better job than other countries when it comes to shows like this, this looks like it was filmed by a camcorder you picked up at a walmart

  • @Scifigeek4Life Are you kidding me? Are you saying that in vain because of all the comments against the US version? You do know the UK version is the original one? The shoe has a great deal of good actors/actresses. I have seen the US version. Not bad. I just can't follow up - the only reason for me to watch it would be Sam Huntington.

    Plus, the werewolf transformation on the US version sucked. Now that, mate, was cheese and cheep.

  • @PlyLilian

    Sam Huntington is so annoying, I almost stopped watching because of him and the girl.

    Sam Witwer and Mark Pellegrino were the only reason I kept watching.

  • @Scifigeek4Life - Even guest actors/actresses on the UK version can act, gee. Katy Breiers acting made me wanna punch something.

    - Not really, I don't have anger management problems. It's just a figure of speech, eh? :)

  • I dont know what your talking about american version is WAY better and far ahead of this version this one looks cheesy as hell not well done at all, Americans do a way better job than other countries when it comes to shows like this

  • The only ppl that like the US version are idiot fucking high school musical fans. the type of people that think tv shows are good depending on how good looking the actors are, omg these ppl are just so stupid. and as to that guy that suggested brittish ppl put on wierd accents and wonder why our shows dont make it in the US, i dont need to go into how fucking retarded you are. but ppl like you are the reason the rest of the world hate america.

  • its not on no more guttered

  • and i live in the US and i hardley watch any british shows but i really like this one.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheCrsuperstar22 In England that means smoke a meatball made from offal covered in gravy... ahh cultures :)

  • I would have to say that I disagree with the last statement about the American version being crap. Some of the images are more believable. However I do think the in the British characters version are more believable.

  • i love this show the british show is awesome

  • i prefer so much the american version !! i love the actors and the look of the serie !!

  • I like the american version better they look like they fit theyr characters on the british the vampire looks like he shpuld be the wolf and the wolf idk shoulnt even be there at all and the ghost lameeeeeeer

  • 2 versions of this show

  • The UK one is probably good, minus the non-ghost ghost, but I think I'd get the US DVD. Josh is cuter than George in my PO. ;-D

  • I have to say I like the American version better than this version. I don't understand how you can touch a ghost.

  • @TheCrsuperstar22 I think you mean; ` in America That means you're Gay' - bad punctuation costs lives you know.

  • this trailer is preety cool but im gonna go watch the 1st ep. of the aMeriCann version. ;D

  • @junkyardwillie Yeah. The silly British and their silly old fashioned accents.

  • @junkyardwillie Never read so much stupidity in just 19 words! People like you give Americans a bad name.

  • I just finished watching the American version last night,season finale. I really like it. Next week the BBC on is airing here in canada and I can't wait to see it.

  • You know, racist against British peo- oh you get what i mean.

  • You are a british racist and a dumbass. There, we are done with the argument.

  • the marines..y?

  • ok ok lol Im tired and Idc anymore.... You win the battle but not the war muhahaha jk but yea..I apologize. ok so Im outty..

  • yea...but the us one is better sgi and the actors are wayyyyy better and people have heard of them lol + us wolfman doesnt sound like a fag haha no diss to gay people tho.. and it looks like some cheap ass soap opp shot on100$ budget , just face it usa have you britts beat like with everything else......oh and the us office is better 2 soooo yea lol

  • @broughtback2life Yea you americans take Way more pictures of Birtney spears than us brits, you all get bigger herd-ons for justin beiber, your 16yr old girls get way better birthday partys, And your hill billys take religeon alot more serious too, iam so jealous over here ;)

  • @TheEnzime @broughtback2life what! lmfao lol ha nice comebac,and thank you for tellin everyone that were better than you. not that we didnt already kno it but still very nice and since were on random subjects do you britts even have a army lol what do they sit around sipping tea and eat fish and chips or something.I guessing your actors isnt the only gay ones your so called army is to. but Ill give you this on your women are freaking sexy! until the show the horror show goin in you brits mouths

  • @broughtback2life - Ok you're clearly an idiot so I will cut you some slack. You're entitled to your opinion about the show, but why be so offensive? "us wolfman (i assume you mean U.S? I won't correct all your errors, as quite frankly I'd be here all day) doesnt sound like a fag haha no dis to gay people tho". Well firstly, that's a contradiction because the term "fag" is very offensive to gay people. Also, it is beyond me that you would judge an actor purely on their sexual orientation

  • Look at that, your a better grammer nazi than me too ,you just keep getin better -by the way do You inparticular add anything to how awesome your country is? are You in the army ? a Doctor ? an Actor ... ?

  • yea...but the us one is better sgi and the actors are wayyyyy better and people have heard of them lol + us wolfman doesnt sound like a fag haha no diss to gay people tho.. and it looks like some cheap ass soap opp shot on100$ budget , just face it usa have you britts be like with everything else......oh and the us office is better 2 soooo yea lol

  • I CANNOT wait for my DVDs

  • just watched first couple of episodes of season one of the bbc version not as good as i thought so dumb that the "ghost" can be seen by any old body and she can touch anything so where is the ghost part lame? i like the american ghost character sooo much better especially when she ghosts like nightcrawler however the british actors are way cool except when the wolf guy screams like some 12 year old girl the us version just has better effects but i love the accents in the british version

  • I like both... don't flame me... fuck it the american version is just as good... bring on the trollish flame comments.

  • wvboarder  of course i know he dies!!!

  • Veebones/ watch uk one first this is the original then compare to the us one you'll know the best one

  • why there is an US version?

    

  • okay im from the US and i agree that the UK version is wayyy better.... ours sucks ass.

  • George is one annoying ass mother fucking bitch I just saw bbca version fuck George screams like a bitch

  • Just want say get a f*cking grip. The uk version is way better plus its buggar all like twilight they only had shapeshifters who could change into wolves not blinking werewolves. The story is great and believable sorry just cant get into the Us version it sucks ass the actors are shit. and how can anybody think the american vampire is better looking than Mitchell( aidan turner) beatiful man and only 27year old!! Looking forward to series 4

  • @kAREN2745 u know he died right lol i cant wait for 4 I have no clue whatll happen

  • I want to watch this, but I don't know if I should start with the Canadian remake or the original one... which one do you guys like the most?

  • @veebones I'm watching both. BBCA plays the UK version, and SyFy has the US. I suggest you watch the UK first, then come back and watch the US. The stories have splintered and are different. Good or bad, they are each similar and different. I like both, personally, although the UK version does seem a bit better.

  • Ok I just saw season 1 of BBC and I have to say it's much better than US version I mean they actually don't censor shit like they doo here in the US "oh dear cover the child's eyes he can see this it's very bad!" suck a dick!!! I love Europeans they don't give a fuck I mean the child found out soon or later

  • lv this show best since X-Files. Lv werewolfs which r a legend long before vampires who in actuality would be able to get an erection or move let alone live forever. The man beast predates the Bible. Even Voodoo, not Huo-Duo which is practice of evil, but Voodoo is a mix of nature and God above... predates Christian calender.

  • My friend recommended me this show. I'm absolutely not a fan of this fantasy stuff going on but she told me that i'll love it. Is there romance and thriller here? Just asking and please rep.

  • haha, bbc 'america' fucking pile of wank get your own programs

  • Is this still going to continue or is the BBC series over? I want to see the BBC version just cuz I like the English accent better then our US accent. Y idk lol I guess the english accent to me sounds much better I wish I was English lol. Yeah I started watching US version it's awesome but I would much rather see the original first

  • the us version has a better budget, and the person who plays aiden(the vampire) happens to be a JEDI !!! (STARKILLER)

  • I don't think Mitchell has fully died, Herick says that a stake through the heart has no coming back whereas the thousand year old vampire basically makes a statement of not living that long without learning a trick or two? There are some vampiristic beliefs in pouring fresh blood over the ashes of a slain vampire will slowly bring them back, so maybe its wishfull thinking but i do not believe Mitchell has left for good.

  • @EBOWARRIOR yeah i hope hes not gone for good, you cant just kill a character as good as mitchell

  • oh god they kill Mitchel!! NOOO!!

  • haha so typical... the UK version is hailed as oh SO much better than the dreadful US version... -_-  *yawn

    I bet 90% of you have absolutely no clue what you're even talking about and are saying it to make some vain attempt at sounding cool which this is the internet and why you would care is beyond me... Both are great. Both have good characters and development. Shut the fuck up.

  • so much better thn the american 1

  • @KodWolf I don't even know why they did it. I can't believe they were allowed to make a second season!

  • @KodWolf Not really.They're pretty much equal

  • @KodWolf So True! I hate that the show is changed to meet there standers! But unfortunately Old Fat Catholic cow's will bitch that the show! so they make change's to keep the Catholic chruch happy!! But I could always order the Being human from BBC

  • Without a doubt my favourite drama series right now. no idea why it wasnt just aired like this in the US. Instead they made their own one and its shit. This isnt another lame UK v US, its just its not in a diff language. No need for a remake when its brilliant o-0

  • is this show good? can somebody give me a review what they think. i think vampire diaries sucks. when is trueblood new season coming back?

  • @elinheartstristin this is brilliant! Very typical of modern BBC drama's with excellent acting and just the right amount of humor to make it enjoyable. I watch it without fail and prefer it to True Blood, I like that too but Being Human has a realism to it where as True Blood is like a soap opera.

  • @elinheartstristin Yeah i am a fan of Trueblood but Being Human Is Awesome.

  • I still like true blood better.

  • The US and the UK versions are both great but i like the UK version a little better

  • I have watched the UK version and 5 episodes of the US version. The characters are much more developed in the UK version. I get that they care for one another. Stopped watching the US version. Can't wait for the next UK episode.

  • Is this show any good, any advice ?

    For someone who doesn't like too violent shows, or Twilight.

  • @Porcelanesa

    actually,

    yeah it is canny good the vioent parts arnt two bad so u should be okay.

  • I watch and like both versions but I prefer the BBC. There are things about both that I enjoy.

    I don’t know if it was meant to be played this way, but it’s clear that Mitchell and Annie have romantic chemistry while Aiden and Sally don’t.

    I like the friendships established on both versions but I think what sways me in the direction of the BBC is how protective Mitchell is of Annie.

    The US version is just getting started so I have something to look forward to.

  • I personally like the American version more now that it is further on in the season

  • I love the bbc version of being human. I don't like the American actors.

    I don't think the American version will last very long. ps, i am american.

  • @PrettyCharla i beg to differ..

  • @garymiester7 you must be an actor in the american version :o)

  • I agree with most of you. The UK version is 65 million trillion times better than the US. I just feel like the acting is sub-par in the US. In the UK version, you can REALLY feel it, especially in the intensely emotional moments. They make you want to cry along with them.

  • I have been watching the Canadian/US version of Being Human and love it. But, recently I have been watching more into the BBC Being Human and even though the Canadian/US version is really good. The BBC has to be the best! And I was glad to hear that the guy who plays Aidan loves it to. And thought it was something like a role model to him.

  • when is it going to get air in Italy?

  • Everyone who keeps crying over remakes needs to shut the fuck up and quit being such bathetic little whiners. Remakes are usually done by the original creators of the show so they can reach a bigger crowd and get more money. Very few people knew of this show, the Office, or blank got talent, until it was remade here. Simon Cowell brought over American Idol, Ricky Gervias brought over the office, both of which have been hugely successful. Stop viewing videos just to bitch.

  • those talking about a remake being better, can I just point out that hundreds of British shows end up being remade by other nations (especially U.S) and usually completely suck? If you are gonna complain, complain about a show you came up with originally and we stole....not sure theres many but at least I could understand your objections :) The original Being Human is amazing - its brilliantly acted and the stories are very realistic and the issues tackled are all thought provoking. My opinion

  • @jemworld I'm American and completely 100% agree with you. Being Human is an amazing show and there's no way that the SyFy one is going to top it. It annoys me too, when great T.V. shows are remade...what's the point when the original is almost always far better.

  • God...There's so much vampire/werewolf/monster crap on t.v. these says I'm so sick of it. Can't they think of anything good or original anymore? These days t.v. is pretty much made up of instant vomit, just add water.

  • @badrabbit0077 what exactly did you want to see?

  • @MexicanArab123 Something that had nothing to do with vampires or wolves.

  • @badrabbit0077 that battle los angelas looks promising.

  • @MexicanArab123 You're right, just saw the trailer for it. Hopefully it won't be another disappointment like the movie 'Monsters' from last year.

  • @badrabbit0077 Actually I wouldn't mind the werewolf/vampire stuff if they weren't all sissy girly crap. Twilight ruined the what used to be terrifying monsters. I would happily watch a new Vampire/werewolf movie if it went back to the way it is supposed to be and that is running around killing people without remorse.

  • @b4igetu Bram Stoker's Dracula and the like, those were real vampire movies but no one wants to see that these days. If it's not sexy or screwing something no one is interested, sex sells.

  • 1:11 no offense but I can't take him seriously with that british acent

  • @hotsoccerathlete23 Remade it and made it shit. Like with every other American remake. Throwing money at it doesn't make a programme better.

  • @Blacknarcissa except The Office - American version is way better.

  • @monez14 Tbh, I wouldn't agree. I prefer the original.

  • @Blacknarcissa That's not very fair. I love the American version. Not to say the original isn't great too.

  • Comment removed

  • @Blacknarcissa you are one angry pikey. you should be glad for all of the US shows you either air or have adopted.

    wikipedia → /wiki/List_of_British_televisi­on_programmes_based_on_America­n_television_series

    i will give you top gear though. we really screwed that one up.

  • i like them both

    i like some of the characters from us and uk

    i like the vampire and ghost from uk and the were wolf from us

    notice all the sentences above begin with i like

  • Not so good, not that bad..

  • I love Being Human! I haven't see the American/Canadian version, but the British one is boss!

  • this looks terrible ...no offence

  • 'only on BBC America!!!'...... Or BBC 3

  • @hiddenjonas Definitely, he doesn't have a fucking truckload of body hair.

  • @JoeMudd123 Some of us happen to like the 'fucking truckload of body hair' as you so nicely put it. Its how a real man looks. Most women do not like the waxed, tanned and preened to within an inch of their life looking men that are on most american tv shows. If a man spends more time in front of the mirror than a woman its a huge turn off. In my opinion Aidan Turner (Mitchell the vampire) is extremely sexy, and the UK version is miles better than the american remake.

  • @StereoRockChic where do you get that "most women do not like the waxed, tanned and preened to within an inch of their life look?" I know very few women who like men who look like apes.

  • @FireAndIce0o0 And i know very few women who like men who spend more time preening than they do. Women dont like men who look like apes, we like men who look like normal men. And most women would agree that Aidan Turner/ Mitchell looks how a normal man should look when it comes to his body hair. And he looks great.

  • Aidan Turner is the most perfect looking human being on the planet..."ape-like" chest hair and all. Nom. Don't think I'll watch it now he's gone hated the S3 group dynamic...not a big Nina fan at all. I think the show should quit while it's ahead.

  • Check out this great song inspired by this show. Look up smallroom 9 "being human" on youtube!

  • Why can't everyone just calm down over the two different versions of this cool show? Just watch the one you yourself find most appealing and fun. I've never seen the UK version until Syfy introduced this interesting show; I watched the US one and then looked up the UK and I found both very entertaining to watch in their own ways. We all don't have to like the same thing y'know. =)

  • @iSlyProductions Same here, didn't know about it until it came on space, I'll probably watch the British version as well.

  • English being human ftw, its awesome, i love mitchell and annie. The american/canadian can fuck off.

  • the British Version is a MILLION times better than the Canadian version... the Canadian Version sucks BIG TIME!!!!

  • @Alientrips I agree that the UK (Original) version is way better. Please don't bog down on us Canadians, it's filmed here but for the US Syfy channel. When the US tv Executives change about stuff to make it more main stream, they take away from the story. They get an actor that looks all Twilight, figuring it would help but it actually doesn't. The UK is much darker...e.i. seen Jekyll series (pure genius..can't stop watching).

  • BBC three has too be one of the worst channels out there,everything they put on there is terrible

  • @notsoslick7 excuse me so ur telling me dt BEING HUMAN is not any gud!!!!!!!!

    well it's the best show eva!!!!!!!
