Bloody hell. The last ever Being Human has aired, and I’m opting not to waste my word count on preamble. Spoilers, iPlayer, let’s get on with it. … [Read more...]
Satan is rising, the end is nigh… Being Human S5E5 – Dork Review
The penultimate Being Human ever, and stakes are high. Admittedly, not quite as high as it seemed they might be at the climax of last week's episode, but still, shit is on the verge of going down. Hal is struggling with bloodlust, Rook is losing his tenuous grasp on morality and the devil is … [Read more...]
Is Hal possessed or just crazy? Being Human S5E4 – Dork Review
In last week's Being Human, Tom met another werewolf and felt like an underdog. (Pun intended.) This week, another wolf-man is following him around like a starry-eyed fan. Coincidence? Meanwhile, Hal is trying to serve as an example too, for crusty-mouthed vampire Crumb. And it's nearly the end … [Read more...]
On such a run of form, even the mid-series filler episodes are good… Being Human S5E3 – Dork Review
So, they’ve cancelled Being Human. Since I’ve really been enjoying the show, I‘m dismayed by this choice, but life goes on. This week, Tom takes on a disappointing mentor, whilst Hal plays a similar role to a regency-styled ghost. And if that sounds like a tangent to the main plot, well, it may not … [Read more...]
Just as I start to love a show, the BBC cancel it… Being Human S5E2 – Dork Review
This week on Being Human, things take a surprisingly OTT turn, as Alex confronts the minions of the Devil, whilst Hal and Tom confront each other in a literal food fight. The best part: it’s exactly as silly as it sounds, yet I still really enjoyed it. Well, my enjoyment was slightly tempered by … [Read more...]
Being Human: The Trinity – Dork Review
Last year, I wrote nice things about Being Human series four. Despite running out of cast members and starting almost from scratch, they made it work. The replacements were likeable, the plots worked, Mark Gatiss was in it – one of their best series yet, a nice surprise. So, now it's time to do … [Read more...]
Being Human: The War Child – Dork Review
After eight weeks, eight reviews, multiple new housemates and, yes, a surprising amount of positivity, it’s time for the Being Human finale review. What will happen? Will it be exactly what I’ve been predicting for the past three weeks, or merely a bit like it? And, more to the point, are there … [Read more...]
Being Human: Making History – Dork Review
It’s nearly all over for new Being Human, not to mention human civilisation, by the look of things. The Old Ones are coming, a future ghost version of Eve is kicking around, Hal has accidentally drunk some Evil Juice that turns him immediately Evil, it’s all going down this week. So what does … [Read more...]
Being Human: Puppy Love – Dork Review
This week on Being Human, love is in the air. And not just for werewolf Tom, as hinted brutally by the episode title, but even Hal is making a neurotic, confused attempt. Well, “making an attempt” might be misleading; it seems to be forced upon him. Nonetheless, romance is blooming. But is it … [Read more...]
Being Human: Hold The Front Page – Dork Review
It’s hormones and cross-age antics in this week’s Being Human, as Adam The 47-Year Old Teenage Vampire returns to blur the line between adolescence and middle age. Last week’s episode was a bit disappointing, to tell the truth, so will some dirty jokes from reliable old Adam get us back on … [Read more...]
