Despise it's premise it is really, really good BUT

Once again, a thing they often manage only in British TV-Shows. When you read the premise you will eventually scratch your head. A ghost, a werewolf and a vampire sharing a flat - sounds like goofy comedy plot line. But the the show turns out to be one of the best things i've seen within the last years of TV-series. It's surprisingly heartwarming, quirky and sometimes damn dark.

At the beginning, in the first couple of episodes the plot takes some time to finds its way, but I was so involved with main characters it did not bother me.

Through the time the plot gets more and more grim and even with the shows limited resources they manage to deliver you to the end of season 3 an almost apocalyptic scenario.

The writer and the cast are doing a really good job here, thanks again for British Television Shows!

BUT one thing is left to say - therefore the spoiler warning - Best thing would be, if you stop watching the show after Season 3. If the show had stopped there, if I could rate the first 3 Seasons only, I would rate it with a 9. Yes I am maybe a bit of a Fanboy here. But the story arc is so well completed, and you leave the show (maybe a bit sad) at its height. After Season 3 the show really stumbles and sadly cannot live up to it's own high stakes anymore. If i had to rate Season 4 and 5 i would give them together a score of 5 stars. So that's why I have to give the show an overall score of 7.

score 7/10
