I've got to say I'm really hooked already. It has a nice combination of horror comedy that really works well. Some nice nods to classics such as American Werewolf in London. I watched the first episode and was wellimpressed with just about all aspects of the show. Great script with some really cool black humour, good acting, characters that really work well together. I had seen the trailers for this show and thought that it might be a really cheesy BBC sit com. But nothing could be further from the truth. A vampire, a werewolf and a ghost living in a house in Bristol? It sounds well, bizarre, but it works brilliantly. The domestic storyline kinds of reminds me of the superb,"This Life". The added dimension that all the flatmates are dead or undead is just genius. This will be a regular feature in my weekly TV schedule. If you have'nt checked this out, I recommend you see the first 2 episodes on BBC iPlayer. You won't regret it. This show is gonna be a cracker.

And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there."
