This British series sounds like a supernatural version of Man About The House, with a vampire and a werewolf sharing a house with a ghost, but it’s a little more serious than that (and the werewolf is not as hairy as Richard O'Sullivan). Mitchell (Aidan Turner as the vampire) and George (Russell Tovey as the werewolf) are trying to live a normal life, which is hard when you either crave blood on a daily basis or turn in to a hairy, howling killer once a month. Renting a house seems the right path to normality, less so when the ghost (Lenora Crichlow as Annie) of a previous occupant is already there.
Mitchell is resisting joining the vampire organisation that sees itself as superior to humans. George just wants a girlfriend, but that is complicated when his time of month is worse than theirs. Annie doesn’t know why she can’t move on to the afterlife, but she is happy to have company at last.
It’s a typically interesting, British character driven show, low on budget but high on moral dilemmas and unexpected plot developments. The series is only 6 episodes, plus a pilot that has a different vampire and ghost.
