Not me watching being human for the 274th time and still being like 'actually, i think i had georges point all wrong, I think his story is about someone living with aids now and is queercoded (in season 2 at least) and mitchell, I had him wrong too, as it's much less about addiction and more the story of someone trying to leave a criminal and violent street life behind when it's all he's ever known and doesn't know how to do life any other way ...'
#being human#being human uk#something new every time#do you see it when george tries to be happy with sam and molly and a house when he just clearly isn't because this isn't it#and he completely plans on keeping his lycanthropy hidden from them forever#it can be read as a simple rebound but being human doesn't do simple. It means more for his character than just heartbreak#and do you see it with mitchell never really struggling with the blood (we know what this looks like. insert hal)#but much more with what it stands for - the lifestyle the people the violence the falling back on his base nature the freedom#and how it suddenly stands for completely different things when hal is the main vampire
