A Collider feature argues that the British supernatural comedy-drama Being Human, available on Prime Video, is an overlooked gem within a genre crowded by better-known titles such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Supernatural. The piece contends that despite running for five seasons and spawning a US remake (also on Prime Video), the 2008 series is too often forgotten, and it makes the case that the show deserves renewed attention given how easily accessible it now is.

First broadcast in 2008, Being Human follows three supernatural beings attempting to live ordinary lives, using their predicament to explore themes of identity, mental health and addiction while blending comedy with supernatural horror. The central trio comprises the vampire John Mitchell (Aidan Turner), the werewolf George Sands (Russell Tovey) and the ghost Annie Sawyer (Lenora Crichlow), who share a house and form an unlikely found family. Mitchell abstains from drinking blood and George manages his transformations as the pair take low-profile jobs, before discovering that the recently deceased Annie already haunts their home.
