Being Human

TV Show • 2009 • Drama  

Report

Synopsis

The central premise of Being Human is that various types of supernatural beings exist alongside human beings, with varying degrees of menace; that three of these supernatural beings are opting to live amongst human beings rather than apart from them; and that these three characters are attempting (as much as is possible) to live ordinary human lives despite the pressures and dangers of their situations. They are constantly threatened with exposure or persecution, with pressure from other supernatural creatures, and with problems caused by their attempts to deal with their own natures.

There are a few times where characters are almost raped and someone manages to lay hands on them, but they always get away before it goes further.

A character is mistaken to be a pedo but it's a big misunderstanding

Vampirism is used as a very direct addiction metaphor throughout.

In season 1 episode 2 Tully attempts to rape / sexually assault Annie but she gets away. She then tells George that this happened and his response was "she probably liked it!"

This made him irredeemable for me so I turned the show off.

Owen is shown to be cheating on Annie when she was alive
George cheats on Nina when he's going through the grief of killing someone. Doesn't excuse it but that's why his behaviour is off

Season 1 episode 6 - The Vicar throws up off screen into a toilet after the vampires enter the hospital and confront George and him. Only audio, no visual
Season 2 episode 7 - The man who discoveres the massacre in the train carriage vomits off screen onto the floor. Best to skip the entire scene tbh because it's very gory and not very nice at all.
Throwing up/being sick/puking is mentioned in a lot of episodes

An Irish character tells an anecdote about being called a slur, there's a flashback to a scene where someone uses a homophobic slur and apologizes afterwards, a character refers to Romani people with the g-slur once, women at various times are called b*****s and whores.
