Being Human:Children Shouldn’t Play With Undead Things

Bestiality and dog biscuits.

 This week found Josh attempting a sexual encounter with very wolf-like results, Sally finding a bevy of other ghosts all looking for something like her, and Aiden being attracted to something new that reminded him of his past. These stories, like so many on this show, share a common thematic element. These three unlikely roommates are trying to find out who they are and how they can continue to exist or even if they should in the real world. These struggles are the glue that holds this series together and these characters within it. There’s was a good bit of humor regarding Josh’s sex life which was a great break from the melancholy that is Aiden and Sally’s current existence. In this episode Sally finally understands Josh a little more after seeing him change into a werewolf. That scene is a funny one but poignant one too. The episode isn’t as energetic as previous installments it’s still a great character piece and a jumping off point for some new story arcs.
