Entertainment WeeklyKen TuckerJan 31, 2011
Season 1 Review: The ghost (Meaghan Rath), the vampire (Sam Witwer), and the werewolf (Sam Huntington) continue to work out their angst-addled yearnings to be human in this more neurotic version of the U.K. TV series. Read full review

Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardJan 17, 2011
Season 1 Review: Comparisons to the BBC show are unavoidable since the first two episodes are practically a scene-by-scene reshoot of the original's opening. The stars even look like doppelgangers of the English cast. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMatt RoushJan 17, 2011
Season 1 Review: If all of this is new to you, the appealing mix of humor and horror may very well hook you. If you've already fallen in love with the British version, as I have, this uneven carbon copy will seem wildly unnecessary. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The three episodes I've seen felt flat and airless, outside of the performance by Sam Huntington as the werewolf. Read full review

Season 1 Review: What was a show about bickering but loving roommates is now a show about, to paraphrase Aidan's narration, living on the dark side. Unfortunately it's not a very interesting place. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Unfortunately the new version of Being Human is more repetitive, clunky and melodramatic than the previous one. Read full review
