Why I'm refusing to watch Being Human.

In a new entry of "Amy is shallow" confessions:



...I don't want to watch this show because they made her the ghost.

G'wan, tell me it's awesome and that she kicks ass all the same and I shouldn't turn my back on it for that silly reason. I'm ready.

That picture is from the very wonderful British version. I have no idea what the U.S. version is going to be like because I loathe remakes like that. And believe me, in the British version, the ghost is, in many ways, the strongest character. It is wonderful, angst-ridden and, at times, utterly hilarious. I love it!

(I didn't even know there were two versions!) I'm glad to know it turned out to be a decent show anyway! It just raises my hackles, to see them refuse to buck convention and to give the female the least dangerous of the three curses.

As the series progresses, you find out her curse is damned dangerous as well.
