I watched all of season one for just one reason: Matthew Goode. It's hardly his best performance, but he still towers over everything else about this uninspiring Being Human/ Twilight/ Harry Potter/ True Blood/ Grimm mishmash. There are a few strong moments, usually one or two per episode. Still, the show is mostly a paint-by-numbers plot. It's as if it were written and cast by committee: tortured brooding vampire, check; young woman discovering her power, check; rogue witch with street cred, check; stern matriarch with a heart of gold, check; mixed race couple in distress, check; gushy aunties, check; supernatural corporate baddies, check. It bores me just to explain these core show elements: imagine what it's like to watch them routinely play out. Better to imagine it, than to watch.
