Critic Reviews

Renee Scolaro Mora

Feb 23, 2011

Season 3 Review: As preposterous as this sounds, Being Human benefits from being reasonably self-aware as well as intelligent in the questions it asks. Read full review

Mark A. Perigard

Feb 27, 2012

Season 4 Review: BBC America's Being Human (the original, not to be confused with the pallid Syfy remake) takes a stab at re-inventing itself--and magically pulls off the feat. Read full review

Alessandra Stanley

Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

Mary McNamara

Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

Ellen Gray

Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

Maysa Hattab

Feb 24, 2012

Season 4 Review: The special effects won't keep you up nights, the transformations and the blood remain un-frightening. Instead of such visceral sensations, the show reveals what's human in monsters and vice versa. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

Season 1 Review: There are times when you don’t whether to scream with fear or laughter. Being Human is frighteningly good. Read full review
