It sounds terribly cheesy: it's modern day, and a mousey werewolf, a darkly handsome vampire straight out of Twilight, and a pretty girl-ghost who's a bit of a compulsive talker all rent a flat together in suburban England. And there are problems almost from the outset with rival vampire sects, the blood-sucker's whacky (and undead) ex-girlfriend, the werewolf's libido and the ghost's unfortunate murder...
Well-acted, well-written, and shot with a strange matter-of-factitude that makes the scary parts even scarier, it's an undiscovered little treasure hiding at the far end of the dial.
There are six episodes in the first season, and rumors of a second series in the works (nothing official yet, but the first one just finished in the UK, with strong ratings). And this is good enough that you'd try it even if it wasn't the only new stuff on TV this side of Leverage.
