and try to as the title says be human so
a well a ghost
the vampire decides a deadline humans do
it succeeds in making paranormal
problems very real like when a ghost
deals with isolation or werewolves and
vampires resist their urges to kill
which has obvious parallels to addiction

it inspired an American remake that ran
on sci-fi for four seasons can : your
