Being Human

A group of friends who share a secret decide to turn a new page by moving into a big old house that should be their sanctuary from the world. What they get is a dwelling that seems to be haunted by the spirits of people killed in unclear circumstances, a mystery that bleeds into their daily lives. The four inhabitants are not just roommates they are immortals with cravings for a simpler human life. As they juggle blood and longing with the need for privacy and friendship they must face ethical gray areas and the way the past can claw its way into the present. In short, they fight to stay humane while the hauntings test their loyalties.

Being Human was created by Toby Whithouse for BBC Three. It is an original British series that first aired in 2009, and across its run a rotating team of directors helped shape the look while UK based studios produced episodes.

Awards: There are no major nominations documented for this title in the available data. The show did attract a dedicated following and earned praise for its mix of supernatural drama and character driven storytelling, but it did not become an awards powerhouse. It remains a standout in its niche.

Being Human carved out a niche by blending mythic creatures with everyday social ties. It helped popularize the idea that monsters can be flawed friends who struggle with intimacy, trust, and mortality. Fans still cite the show as a memory of late 2000s genre blending, for a devoted fanbase worldwide.

In terms of reception the show earned solid feedback from critics and audiences who appreciated its tonal balance between mystery and warmth. Core themes include humanity versus monster, loyalty among chosen family, and the costs of living between two worlds for fans today as well.
