Being Human and Being A Ghost

The worst thing about being a ghost in Being Human is you don't get one of those manuals that you get in "Beetlejuice."  You wake up dead, and you just don't know what to do except mope around the living.  Luckily our dead girl here has two good friends and they scare up a veteran ghost to teach her some of the basics.   Two things you instantly learn is ghosts stay as they were before they died, and that it is very unfortunate to die in the eighties and be forever a fashion victim.

Meanwhile, our vampire is being stalked by a human who believes that the vampire killed his father years ago.  The other vampires say you better handle this or we will.  The vampires, like in the original series seem like a pretty pissy crew.  Sort of a cult with a para military presence.  In the end our vampire tries to do the jedi mind trick to erase the human's memory.  Unfortunately, you have be sucking down a lot of human blood to be good at that sort of thing.  Things do not go well.

Overall, this is a strong episode of the series and we are seeing how this world of vampires and werewolves work.  As I said, being a ghost really sucks, but at least we now know how it works.  We didn't get much from the werewolf side of things but the previews show that will be remedied next episode.  Can't wait.
