I was bought the boxed first four seasons of this for Christmas. Unbelievably it's never been shown in it's entirety on UK TV. First series disappeared without trace, series 2 and 3 were I think on 5USA around midnight. I think it must be the best ever USA series ever made...better than The Sopranos, The Wire, West Wing etc. It's riveting viewing, engrossing, dark, hilarious, thoroughly amoral, and ....just amazing.
It's almost impossible to resist playing the next episode. It's so good that I've had to suspend my current viewing of the Being Human series 1-4 box set. The fifth and final series is currently showing in the US. - not available here until July.

No, but i just Googled it and it has won quite a few awards. I don't watch many American shows, preferring homegrown (inc European), although I did love True Blood.
LOve Breaking Bad - we bought the box sets too, waiting impatiently for series 5...
I do prefer The Sopranos and The Wire to it though.
Its fantatastic, watching season 3 on Netflix at the mo
Top show. Very addicting though (and somewhat educational!)
It's no longer on tv, bar the likes of a netflix service in the UK. That's why nobody watches it.
It got dropped after two seasons over here. If I remember cirrectly channel five showed one season and fx the second.
Just wait till you get to the 5th series!
Lol eggy
We LOVE BB - we've watched up to the first 8 programmes of series 5.
In fact we're working our way through the box set again - just about to finish series two...it's brilliant tv
Just started watching S1 yesterday. So far, so good. I hope it doesn't go the same way as shows like True Blood (brilliant first/second series) and become yawnsome as it progresses.
No - it gets bigger and badder with every season!
Eggy, I know it's no longer on TV, but as well as Netflix, the first two series (not sure about the others) are available quite cheaply on Amazon.
very much this. every season so far has been superb
definitely one of the best progs ever made
i've watched every episode of it on netflix. worth the £5 a month (or whatever it is) for that alone.
Looking forward to the second half of series 5 when it comes on in July.
I have to disagree with Tom the OP on one point though, I watched the first series of Being Human, and it's shite. The werewolf looks like "Pob"
