Philadelphia Daily News Ellen Gray
Between "Twilight," HBO's "True Blood" and the WB's upcoming "Vampire Diaries," I'd begun to feel overwhelmed by the undead. Then along came BBC America's Being Human to change my mind. |

The New York Times Alessandra Stanley
All three characters are highly appealing, but the charm of the show lies in the delicate balance of engrossing drama and disarming humor; the series is not campy or self-conscious, it’s witty in an offhand, understated way. |

Variety Brian Lowry
Whatever deeper meanings one might extrapolate, the show's approach proves refreshingly unpretentious and a great deal of fun, playfully exploring the mythologies surrounding ghosts, vampires and werewolves. |

Los Angeles Times Mary McNamara
Creator Toby Whithouse takes all the themes associated with the cursed and the damned very seriously, and if his exploration of them is less baroque than other franchises, it promises to be even more effective. |

But for all the laughs, Being Human never loses sight of the menace of its characters. |

There are times when you don’t whether to scream with fear or laughter. Being Human is frighteningly good. |

Turner and Tovey get the best material, while Crichlow mopes a lot. Then again, she's a ghost, so let's cut her some slack. |
