A Vampire, a Werewolf and a Ghost all living under one roof trying to be everything that they mostly aren’t..human. An American version of the British hit…that in my opinion did not need Americanized…but whatever!…probably will still watch it anyway…got a thing for the supernatural and anything that celebrates it.
Syfy's supernatural series Being Human scared up 1.9 million viewers, becoming the most watched winter series launched for the network since 2005.
The series, which tells the story about a vampire, werewolf and ghost who share a Boston brownstone, fell short of the 3.5 million viewers garnered by the network's last series debut, Warehouse 13, in 2009. Being Human did draw 1 million Adults 18-49, including 582,000 women -- the highest percentage of female viewers ever for a Syfy original scripted series telecast, said the network.
Syfy’s version of Being Human just premiered last night, and it gave a taste of what’s to come for the characters who might have some supernatural abilities but also have some very real problems. LA TV Insider Examiner caught up with series star Sam Witwer -- the brooding vampire Aidan who gives into temptation nearly immediately in the premiere, despite making claims that he wants to live a normal life -- to ask him what we can expect from the future episodes for the show and for his character.
On what Witwer finds most interesting about Aidan, whose behavior he says exactly mimics that of an addict:
"It was more about the human aspects, definitely. This drug metaphor isn’t something that was kind of on the page or slightly on the page, this was something that was so obvious. And the way that we shoot some of these scenes, it’s as if you could change the word ‘vampire’ for ‘heroin addict’ … In fact, it’s what I responded to. If there weren’t elements like that, I wouldn’t have wanted to do it."
