Being Human Episode 3

The cool thing about this show is how the three main characters each have their own set of rules for their unique monstrous natures.  We learn in this episode that Sally can't touch other ghosts and use her mind to travel from place to place allowing her to get outside of the house for the first time.  But the most interesting part of this episode involves Aidan.

He invites the neighborhood over to join the neighborhood watch.  Like every neighborhood watch they had a cop come by and visit.  Only problem is this cop recognizes Aidan as the man who killed his father when he was only ten years old.  Aidan's story in this episode revolves around this and I don't want to give too much away, but I must say I'm surprised other vampire shows haven't had a similar story because it seemed ike a new take on the modern vampire.

Josh doesn't have as big of a role in this episode but I think that's because next week is going to be mostly centered around him.  He does reluctantly get involved with the neighborhood watch.  After next week's episode the three characters should be pretty well set up and hopefully the overarching story will begin to progress more and some recurring characters might start having better subplots and drive the show beyond just the set up.  I'm sure it'll happen, this show is based off of a BBC show in it's third season, but I did read an interview with Mark Pelligrino (Bishop) where he said they pan on taking the story in a different direction.  That will probably make the fans of the BBC show happy.
