There have been a few threads about it .. but I can't remember where. It is a very good show. I really hope there's a second season.

When I left the UK a couple of weeks ago I had read that they are, indeed, filming a new series... I agree, it took me a little while to get into it fully, but there were aspects that engaged me from the first moments of the first episode, and I enjoyed the individual episodes and character arcs as well as the overall plot. I am longing to see what happens next!
Russell Tovey is a brilliant actor, and was hotly tipped to be in line for the next Doctor, which I know he did audition for, but I am glad we'll get to see more of his sweet werewolf character grow and deal with the consequences of his actions in a 2nd season!
Not to mention the whole vampire plan... what was it?

SETI pod cast had a 2 part special on what makes us human... kinda cool.

Yes. Very much looking forward to the second season. Sorry I couldn't find the other threads.
It just seemed that the mixture of drama and dark humor would go over very well with Firefly fans.
As Toby Whithouse mentions in his blog, it also has a sweet habit of surprising story twists, which are often sadly lacking on a lot of shows.
I think Russell Tovey is a fantastic actor and Aiden Turner manages to bring a lot of lightness to the usual sulky vampire thing--and he is very, very nice to look at.....

Yep, it was discussed in the "Other Science Fiction Series" forum.

One of the greatest supernatural series ever!

Bumping this to the top because it's been airing on BBCA for about 4 or 5 weeks now.
Great show about what "being human" really means to those who basically can't, or perhaps shouldn't, interact normally with regular people.
Speaking of monsters (vampires & werewolves), of course. Don't mean to offend anyone taking that the wrong way.
Odd thing, though. My DVR listed the first episode as #1, of course, but the next week's episode was listed as #6. Is the DVR or Dish Network scheduler just messed up? Thoughts? It all seemed to flow smoothly from #1 to #6 with no gaps in the story, so I was just wondering.

Bumping this back up to the top because I just watched what I believe to be the next to last episode of the season.
Wow! Good stuff! I don't think I've said "huh" so many times during a show.
George, of course, was hilarious and finally stood up for what's "right". I thought the ending with Lauren was pretty touching. Can't wait to see what happens next! And then I've gotta WAIT for the next season to aire on BBCA! AUGH!
