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.

She starts off soft and passive, but this changes very quickly and thoroughly over the course of the first season. By the end of it, she is the most self-determined of the three. And they are all passive in one way or another: George the victim of the moon, Mitchell made inert by the battle between his conscience and nature. I really enjoyed it on the whole, even with a few mis-steps along the way.

Cool, thank you for enlightening me! I'm still not sure I will watch it but I wanted to hear that there are some redeeming factors in it.

And she is certainly the most active ghost around! I think that the writers were wanting to comment on the invisibility of the attractive woman in a sitcom with her, so she ends up more physically capable than you would expect from a spirit.

I like how you put it! The other two are, especially... something I shouldn't mention because it'll be spoilery. The thing with George, that becomes a big issue in the house. That was pretty darned passive.

I really, really loved the British version of the show. I haven't gotten a chance to see the American one yet, though by the promos they're following the plotline closely.
