Yes it is horrific HalGal and I love how being Human does that thing, walks a knife edge of humour and horror and does it so well, makes it the unique show it is! the one where he has just been gobbling maggoty congealed blood off the floor...looks like a little boy covered in strawberry jam, he looks so lost and innocent, not like a murderous monster, I like how it shows how easily manipulated we are as an audience!
I so wish i had seen Damien in 'Tis Pity too....I can imagine him excelling in that role.. would have exchanged it for the performance I saw with Jude Law any day...
