About Being Human
The original BBC show ran 2008-2013. Created and written by Toby Whithouse, the show starred Lenora Crichlow as ghost Annie Sawyer, Russell Tovey as werewolf George Sands, and Aidan Turner as vampire John Mitchell.
Over the course of the BBC series, the cast had some changes—and yet the show continued to be great. A North American remake of the show aired in Canada and the U.S. from 2011-2014. (I still haven’t watched the remake, so no idea whether it was good.)
