Basic idea quite nice, implementation often too cheap and nonsensical

I watch the series just with my friend (mid season 2). We both liked Vampire Diaries, although there too much pathos is and the series is simply sometime only nonsensical protracted to Being Human, we have come by chance.

You can watch, but should expect a lot of you MMN not also have to arangieren with a few nonsensical or rather bad things done. Throughout the first season, there are no real relationships, the individual episodes are just there, a common thread does not exist or it is at least very thin. The MMN is improving in the second season, which seems to have a higher-level action for the first time.
The main characters of the vampire I do not like personally, I find his mouth shape including chin really weird, like an old man with no teeth. A bad actor he is therefore so far, so I can resign myself, even if I every time there is a look back at other times (especially in those in which he wears a mustache and a different hairstyle) think that the man that is much better. This applies even more for the vampire father whose hairstyle is just laughable.

My main criticism is directed at two points: In this series, vampires and werewolves do not like and chase each other sometimes to the death. Unfortunately, the werewolves can except at full moon in their wolf form nothing, which could explain why they exist at all yet. Because the vampires have obviously not the usual übrlichen weaknesses (of garlic on crosses to LEAST sunlight!), But are overall much faster and stronger than humans and can manipulate thoughts. From balance so it can absolutely be no question and it begs the question why the vampires werewolves not already exterminated ...

My second main point of criticism is the presentation of skills. Not only that, the teeth of werewolves and vampires look absolutely spurious, the skills are just presenting too unspectacular at the vampires. Gelegendlich there are times rapid movement through camera interface or fast forward, otherwise is little to see of the superiority. In this (simple) special effects are often used - as for the spirits or the wolves. The wolves I find also quite underwhelming - small and ugly.

Overall, you can watch the series quite well, if you focus on the characters per se and can get involved with the issues raised. Really convincing, it is not for me but.

PS: In Season 4, the special effects are even quite handsome! ;)
