Being Human U.S. series premiere: Snap judgment
A vampire, a ghost, and a werewolf share a flat in Bristol, England: It sounds like a pitch for a sitcom or a Saturday-morning cartoon. But Being Human, the British series that aired its first episode on BBC America last night, is neither of those. The premiere's tone swung instead between Gothic melodrama and campy absurdity — often recalling HBO's similarly bipolar True Blood — as the supernatural roomies grappled with themselves and one another. — Simon Vozick-Levinson
