Being Human (USA)/YMMV


 * Alas, Poor Villain: Marcus. After an entire season of acting like a hateful bastard, he gives us his origin story, where we learn that he
 * Also Rebecca.
 * Alternative Character Interpretation: Danny: abusive, manipulative Complete Monster? Or okay guy whose frustration with his needy, absent-minded fiance just boiled over horribly one night?
 * The most recent episode pretty much confirms his Complete Monster status, though... to wit, he acknowledges that he deserves to have been shredded.
 * Considering when we first learn the truth about Sally's death, she mentions she always dismissed his jealousy and anger as 'passion' and such, it's hard to see how he could have been anything less than someone on the verge of outright emotional/physical abuse.
 * Not to mention his first reaction to
 * Fan-Preferred Couple: Aidan and Sally, if a rough search on youtube means anything. Unsurprising considering Mitchell and Annie, the UK equivalents, popularity on the original show.
 * Foe Yay: The conversation between Aidan and Bishop seemed pretty intense...not to mention Bishop looking in on Aiden when the other vampire is feeding.
 * Fridge Horror: Normally Aidan strongly opposes vampires feeding on people, but he does nothing to prevent the a woman pregnant with twins from being bitten.
 * Bishop says earlier that she was compelled, referring to a vaguely explained mind power of vampires that can be used to make people obey them. Usually this is fairly harmless, but can cause grivous mental damage. Aidan's disregard for their lives could mean that if the woman was mentally conditioned to the point that she wouldn't resist someone chewing on her radial artery, she and her children were, to all intents and purposes, already dead.
 * Ho Yay: Aidan and Josh. And Aidan with Henry.
 * Les Yay: Sally tends to come off as this on occasion. For instance while talking at Emily, Josh's sister, she says she could make her feel happy. And when Nora comes over, Sally's promptly quips that she's hot and had nice boobs. And when Nora sees Sally for the first time, she quips that Josh never mentioned she was so attractive.
 * Magnificent Bastard: Bishop earns this title after
 * Moral Event Horizon: Bishop has Marcus
 * To a, perhaps, lesser extent
 * Of course then there's...
 * Nightmare Fuel: For many episodes, we've been teased with Josh's werewolf form, either being heard offscreen, bits of the transformation showing and so on. Then in Episode 8
 * Darla, the little girl who invites Aidan to drink from her. Aidan is so freaked out by her that he flings himself across the hallway.
 * Sally in 2x09 and 2x10.
 * Potentially the look of sheer happiness - something we've never see on her before - when Nora talks to Josh about
 * Squick: The scene where Aidan and Rebecca lay together, drenched in each other's blood.
 * The revelation that Josh's werewolf form eats its own feces.
 * Straw Man Has a Point: While most of Ray's ideas are... extreme, one has to give him a little bit of credit for having the desire not to let his lycanthropy control and define him as a person.
 * Uncanny Valley: Is it possible to be this in real life?? Suren's face is practically two-dimensional!!
 * Perhaps intentionally done since the show may be making the point that given such longevity and power, vampires may start finding difficulty emoting and otherwise 'being human'.
 * Villain Sue: Mother
 * The Woobie - Josh and Sally. Josh has to leave his past life behind, not even telling his family in person that he has to leave. Sally went to sleep one day and woke up dead. Ow.
 * Aidan is starting to become one as well due to his status as a Villain Ball Magnet.
 * Cara, adorably awkward,
 * Bernie is a neighborhood boy who is bullied regularly, he is later saved by and befriends Aidan.
