This Week: Movies/DVD (Sep. 20-27) Sunday September 19, 2010 Being Human: Season Two HOME VIDEO--Out on DVD and Blu-Ray this week: Season 2 of Being Human is nothing short of brilliant, and the DVD is an absolute must. Aiden Turner, Russell Tovey, and Lenora Crichlow take their characters to new and darker places, dogged by an implacable menace that's not so much the actual villains as the social hatred they represent--and which Mitchell, George, and Annie have thoroughly internalized. The supporting cast is impressive as well, led by Sinead Keenan (Nina), Lyndsey Marshal (Lucy), and the delightfully creepy Donald Sumpter (Kemp), all struggling desperately with their own demons; and Russell Tovey continues to hone his ability to be funny and achingly empathetic all at once. From the seismic shift in the vampire world that begins in the premiere, to the engrossing flashbacks of Mitchell's past, to the heartbreaking climax and chilling final scenes, this is compulsive television. Behind the Scenes Featurettes: Blood Bursting; The Caves; Unleashing the Beast; The Swinging Sixties; Behind the Makeup; Making the New Werewolf; Train Carnage.
