Being Human has built a real following in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and fuboTV among viewers who want their sci-fi to think as hard as it looks. 4 seasons means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. 197 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Sam Witwer's performance is the anchor the more ambitious scenes need. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

Being Human arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. What makes Being Human work is that the ideas never crowd out the people having them. Three paranormal roommates, a ghost, a vampire, and a werewolf, struggle to keep their dark secrets from the world, while helping each other navigate the complexities of living double lives. Sam Witwer and Meaghan Rath lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. The series ran for 4 seasons (2011–2014), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. What separates Being Human from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Sci-fi fans who want ideas alongside the spectacle will find Being Human genuinely rewarding. Vampire Academy is the obvious comparison, but Being Human earns its own place alongside it. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Watch for Sam Witwer in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.

Being Human was cancelled in 2014, created by Toby Whithouse — and 4 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
