Created by Toby Whithouse, it was directed by Alex Kalymnios, written by Brian Dooley, Jamie Mathieson and John Jackson, and stars Craig Roberts as the teenage vampire Adam (previously seen on Being Human), Leila Mimmack as the werewolf Christa and Josh Brown as the ghost Matt.

Among the suspects Adam and his friends investigate are the school bully Danny Curtis, Brandy Mulligan and Mr. Swan.

A sub-plot of the show deals with the uneasy relationship between the trio, which has elements of a rivalry, friendship and love triangle.

It is revealed that Matt had a three-year-long unrequited crush on Christa which ultimately led to him being in the boys' toilets he died in, scribbling "an anonymous declaration of love" on the cubicle wall with a key when the murderer attacked him.

Adam frequently makes crude passes at Christa and takes opportunities to kiss her or be seen doing so (for instance, when spying on the gym teacher, Mr. Swan, they are hiding within gym equipment - they cover up their spying by making out).

Adam, meanwhile, is also trying to deal with his vampire urges and is frequently tempted to "punish" the murderer (once they are discovered) by feeding from them, with Christa acting as moral restraint and Matt struggling with his own desires for revenge.

Following several false leads, a major breakthrough is made when Mr. Roe lets slip to the trio that Mr. Swan has ordered him to clean the same boys' toilets that Matt was drowned in.

They eventually discover that the CCTV cameras between the toilets and the gym are missing, further implicating Mr Swan in the murder.

They begin to suspect that Matt's body is hidden in the gym, because Christa can smell it the day before the full moon.

They investigate the gym the night of the full moon - when a werewolf's senses are at their peak - only for Christa to start changing.

Matt and Adam lure the transforming Christa into the gym's supply cupboard and barricade the door.

They initially fear that Christa may have eaten it during her time as a werewolf; but Matt succeeds in finally locating his body-still in the cupboard hidden among cleaning tools.

He tells them that Mr. Roe had keys to the gym and access to the security cameras, and the trio realise that Roe was listening to their conversations the entire time during detention (while pretending to be listening to music on headphones) and had already fed them a false lead regarding Brandy Mulligan.

After this, a supernatural "door of death" (the same type that feature in Being Human) materializes for Matt to "move on" through.

Matt is reluctant to do so, as he has come to enjoy the company of Adam and Christa - being happier than he'd ever been in his lifetime - and the excitement of the investigation.

Having now come to terms with his death, Matt gives Adam and Christa his blessing to form a romantic relationship (although they continue to deny their willingness to have one).

The episode ends with Adam suggesting that "the other side" may become complicated by having a living person take the place of a dead one, and claiming that "they" may send Roe back (setting up a possible plot-strand for a follow-up series).

[4] The writers of the series were Brian Dooley, Jamie Mathieson and John Jackson.

[9][10] In addition to eight episodes there are also clues consisting of mobile phone videos, suspect profiles, pictures and other side notes released each week between the episodes on the Becoming Human blog, enabling the viewers to investigate Matt's murder in more depth.

During this clip, he was seen to be extremely angry having been thrown over, and promises to return and take revenge on the trio.

In Being Human it is shown that his father supplied him with blood until he died, because of this Adam didn't have to kill anyone.

Actress Leila Mimmack describes Christa as a difficult moody teenager, who is scared of being a werewolf.

1.5 million fans watched the series and discussed online about the newest hints about the murderer.

[21][22] Nick Bryan says that Becoming Human has a great humor, and that Craig Roberts portrays Adam very well.

However, it isn't as sexy, stylish, acerbic, and compelling as the British TV series Misfits."
