AV CLUB: WHAT'S ON TONIGHT? TOP PICK MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2012
The choice of the U.S. version of Being Human stretches the very concept of a "top pick" to its breaking point

... TOP PICK
Being Human
(SyFy, 9 p.m.)
Look, we get that there’s really no good reason to make this the top pick. We can’t even use the “It sounds like it could be a good episode!” excuse we use for Glee or the “It’s the most popular comedy in America!” excuse we used for Big Bang Theory or the “It’s the 500th episode!” excuse we used for Simpsons. But it’s never been up here, and Monday nights are a television wasteland from which no sane viewer can escape. So, yes. Watch the werewolf and the ghost and the vampire. There are certainly worse options tonight. Or we guess you could read a book. We have a whole section for that, too. Phil Dyess-Nugent thinks you might find it preferable.
