BEING HUMAN: "It's A Shame About Ray" S3/E1 (review)

Last night the new season of Being Human premiered on the Syfy Channel. I love this show.  I think the concept is great and I love the characters.  The premise is built around the a vampire and a werewolf who share a haunted apartment with a ghost.  Although the series takes a lot of liberties with the traditional supernatural mythology, it's easy to dismiss, as the great execution of each episode makes me continue to come back for more.

When last season left off, Sally (the ghost) was in Limbo, Aiden (the vampire) had been buried alive as punishment, and Josh (the werewolf) and Nora, his girlfriend (believe it or not, also a werewolf), were in the woods in a fight for their lives with Ray, the hillbilly sire-werewolf.


In one of the opening scenes we see Nora at a table with a supposed medium. We don't know who she's trying to contact. She starts to call Josh's name, and we wonder "What happened to Josh?!" Well, Josh is right around the corner, being bored and irritated as usual. We soon find the reason for Josh's current angst is because this is the umpteenth psychic the two have seen in the last year on a quest to find Sally and Aiden.
