Being Human episodes 3 and 4 of Season 2

Finished watching episodes 3 and 4 of Being Human tonight. Hmmm, this show is just like Vampire Diaries and True Blood - it gets really good after the second or third episode. Goes to show you, that with certain television series you really have to stick with them at least five episodes before making up your mind. In all three series - the first two or three episodes sucked beans, but by about the third, fourth or fifth episode - it takes a turn via Alberqueque and gets really good. Sort of like some books I can think of - Dorothy Dunnett was like that, as was George RR Martin, and about every literary novel I've ever read and loved. Others, such as well any procedural, mystery thriller, or reality show on the planet - you pretty much know what you are in for with the first one. (ie. If you did not like the first episode of Bones or The Closer, you will not like the series.) This is why I don't agree with publishers and editors - you don't judge a book by the first chapter or read the first chapter to see if you will like it - you skip to the fifth, read the middle, look at a few pages towards the end, and see if the blurb interests you. Same deal with tv - give it a few episodes before you give up. Farscape - unfortunately took about 17. That series took a left turn by Alberqueue around A Human Reaction and became a completely different show.

Anyhow, Being Human picks up speed in the third episode. Less monologues, and more well, interaction. It's also rather funny in places. ( cut for spoilers and length )

Off to bed.
