The truth is kind of terrifying
This review may contain spoilers. So "Being Human" seems to have done it -- it's made the transition from just a remake with similar storylines to the original to something that can be called a separate entity from it. "I See Your True Colors ... and That's Why I Hate You" was certainly the most ...
Read MoreWhat exactly is 'human nature'?
This review may contain spoilers. "What sets a human apart from a monster?" While that was a question posed during an Aidan (Sam Witwer) voice-over, it was perhaps Sally's (Meaghan Rath) plot in the episode that best answered it. Sure, she's dead and a ghost, but the thing that makes her less ...

This review may contain spoilers. One of the benefits of Syfy's "Being Human" being a remake that's mostly followed the path of the original so far is no Valentine's Day episode on Valentine's Day. There's no need to be even more by-the-book in a remake. This week's episode, "It's the End of t ...
Read MoreControlling your power isn't always a good thing
This review may contain spoilers. Aside from being a hilarious episode title, “Wouldn’t It Be Nice (If We Were Human)” asked the supernatural roommates a question with a fairly simple answer. The answer was “yes,” by the way. Unfortunately for them though, they don’t have that l ...

This review may contain spoilers. Another week of “Being Human” and another week of domestic monster problems. It also means another week of flashback-Aidan (Sam Witwer) -– this time, looking very dapper in a John Wilkes Booth (or James Marsden as John Wilkes Booth in “Zoolander”) sort ...

Read MoreIt's all about understanding, isn't it?
This review may contain spoilers. The second part of the "Being Human" premiere, "There Goes The Neighborhood," continued where it left off at the end of last week's episode and began the "real" series, post-pilot setup and exposition. With part two, we got a bit of a glimpse into our three p ...

Read MoreSeries premiere of BBC remake scares up nearly 2 million viewers
There are a lot of female science-fiction fans. But no matter how many you might find, there is typically at least two male science-fiction fans that counteract them.
