Last ever episode of BEING HUMAN last night and it was a stonker. That's a Brit term for a huge bombardment (from the First World War, IMDb spell-checker, but now it means it was a genius episode).
Beautifully written and acted, this series just got better and better, surviving even the total replacement of its cast with an even better cast. How many times does that happen? Not a perfect ending but satisfying, depending on which version of reality you prefer. Don't read on if you don't want spoilers but I applauded the final ambiguity even though I wanted to believe that BEING HUMAN finally delivered on its inherent promise.
That said, BEING HUMAN was never afraid to step into the melodrama ring with the big American champions like SUPERNATURAL and swing way above its weight with a fraction of their budgets. It did it with wit and charm and a genuine love of its characters and was never afraid to put its characters through hell to pull out those brilliant comic moments.
Last night it was the return of the Potter's Wheel at just the right moment. I can't explain that any further. You have to see it to appreciate the genius of it.
Can't wait to see what Toby Whithouse (creator, writer and, as it turns out, a bloody good actor) gives us next!
score 10/10
