Paranormal TV Pick of the Week: Being Human UK Season 4 Premiere

Image: Annie (Lenora Crichlow); Being Human UK debuts on Space on Saturday, February 25 at 9 p.m. ET

I can't wait for Saturday as it will mark the return of the Being Human UK kicking the ghost, werewolf & vampire roommates stories into it's 4th season. I accidentally look at some pictures therefore was spoiled a little bit but I'm still going to be watching with bells on to see what trouble the mates get into. The show has been on of the most emotionally challenging to watch of the paranormal picks, and one of the few to actually make me cry. I might have to keep my guard up a little bit to keep that from happening again!

A Season 3 marathon just aired and if you are looking to get reminded of the series so far feel free to delve into the Hexed Archive with Suzie & I chatting up a storm all through Season 3.

Although I'm super-keen on the premiere, it was almost some slim pickings for the pick of the week as a lot of our regular shows are taking hiatus this week (Vampire Diaries, Secret Circle, and Supernatural) and Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files concluded it's Season 2B Canadian airing. But! Even if ALL those shows were on, the Being Human UK Season 4 Premiere would still be my pick of the week!

Check it the Being Human UK Season 4 Premiere on Space Saturday February 25, 2012 at 9pm EST; all paranormal & normal creatures welcome!

What are you looking forward to this week?

Ep 91: Paranormal TV February 8-14, 2012

On this weeks Hexed: Sisterhood of the Supernatural Suzie and Shannon chat about recent episodes of Secret Circle, Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, Fringe, Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files and last weeks episode of Being Human. It was quite a good week as we both enjoyed the anti-Valentines-ish ep of Secret Circle and even go as far as saying that the Supernatural and Fringe episodes are both in the running for our fave of the season. We also again chat enthusiastically about Face Off and their wolf-tac-ular special guest judge last week and check in on the spooky supernatural flick The Woman in Black.

With so much TV we've are going to talk about the most recent episodes of our Being Human North American & Lost Girl next week.

A few spoiler notions for any new listeners: we talk about the shows in depth, so please watch first and then listen. For new US Lost Girl fans, we are watching and podcasting about Season 2 of Lost Girl. Plus our reverse-spoiler notation re: Being Human North American - we've seen the UK version of Being Human up to and including Season 3, so we may touch on characters and events from that series as well, so please watch it first if you want to be spoiler free!

Paranormal TV Highlight of the Week: Fact or Faked Season 2B Finale

We have tons of paranormal TV to enjoy this week but I know the one that's highlighted & starred on my viewing schedule is the Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files Season 2B finale, which will be on Space on Wednesday February 15, 2012 at 9pm EST. I'll be watching with avid anticipation as to how they close out the season and then anxiously away Season 3. I really hope Space picks it up and airs it even closer to it's US air date as we tend to get this show a few months behind, but I still enjoy each & every episode of the non-fiction, re-creation & paranormal investigation program.

Suzie & I have chatted about each and every episode of Fact or Faked, check out all of our Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files (Odd Schedule)

Great news for fans of the Boston-set/Montreal film supernatural roommate series, according the to SyFy Press Releases, Being Human (North American) has been renewed for third season of 13 episodes. That's pretty impressive considering they are only 4 episodes in to Season 2 so far, but it's continued to entertain week after week so it's good news all around.

More details from the February 8, 2012 press release:
"“With the success of season two, ‘Being Human’ has become a premier destination for Syfy viewers,” said (Mark) Stern. “Jeremy Carver and Anna Fricke have taken this series to new heights this year and we’re excited to see where the third season will go.”

Being Human stars Sam Witwer, Meaghan Rath and Sam Huntington as vampire Aidan, ghost Sally and werewolf Josh who share the creature comforts of home in a Boston brownstone. Together the three roommates struggle to keep their supernatural secrets and resist individual temptations as they strive to live lives that are as near to normal as possible."

Suzie & I have chatted about each & every episode of Being Human (North American) on here on Hexed; see our archive of Season 1 discussion here and see our most recent podcasts & posts here.

New & Returning This Week: The River and The Walking Dead

Image - Cast of The River: Bruce Greenwood as Emmet Cole, Joe Anderson as Lincoln Cole, Paul Blackthorne as Clark, Paulina Gaitan as Jahel, Leslie Hope as Tess Cole, Eloise Mumford as Lena, Shaun Parkes as Adjay, Thomas Kretschmann as Captain Kurt Brynion and Daniel Zacapa as Emilio.

Suzie & I have chatted excitedly about the trailer of the upcoming TV show The River from Paranormal Activity director Oren Peli, and now the time is upon us to see if it's as good as it looks with the series starting this Tuesday. It certainly appears to have a spooky vibe, shakycam style, and sure to have emotional connect as it follows family members trying to find each other. Plus, we are still hyped and hoping that it will be paranormal in nature. Not too much longer before we know for sure!

The River series premieres this Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2012 on CTV at 9 p.m.


The Walking Dead

AMC's hit zombie series comes back with new season 2 episodes this Sunday February 12, 2012 and is it just me or did that hiatus seem *way* too long? We've both had strong feelings in both directions on this on, although Suzie has decided she likes the show and Shannon is swaying back in that direction as well especially after the mid-season finale for season 2. I'm sure they swing back into things with a timely Valentine's episode! Perhaps not. But, there could be arrows to the heart, crossbow arrows that is.

More happy news for The Walking Dead is that it's season 3 is not only in the works but it's also going to be a whopping 16 episodes, in comparison to season 1 which had 6 eps and season 2 which will air 13 episodes.

If you need to catch up on the season or the series? You are in luck, AMC is re-airing both season 1 in it's entirety as well as season 2 so far:
Season 1: Saturday February 11, 2012 starting at 8PM EST
Season 2: Sunday February 12, 2012 starting at 1:30 PM EST with new episode at 9PM EST

See all podcasts and posts where we’ve discussed The Walking Dead here.
