Season Three of Being Human UK Spoilers!

Don’t get me wrong I know that after everything that happened with Mitchell and all the things the other three said and did is unrepairable and you could go round and round on all of the morality of it, BUT COME ON😭

I’m glad George was the one to kill Mitchell and took away the ability for the new big bad vampire from using Mitchell as a weapon, but doesn’t mean I am happy nor content. (I have to tell myself that we at least got Kíli Durin out of this deal)

Mitchell was so crucial to that show and the dynamic of a werewolf, vampire, and ghost, but we have now lost that so I am curious terrified how the show is going to continue. Clearly Tom is going to become a bigger role with his ¿Dad? gone and the baby ready to be born soon. So I shall find out, but I’m going to be sad while doing it😞
