Sam Huntington plays Josh The Werewolf who is struggling to cope with who he is and how to deal with his curse. You really feel his despair as he has had to leave his family and friends behind so as not to endanger them. You might remember him from such films as Superman Returns as Jimmy Olsen or Detroit Rock City as the drummer on his way with his friends to see a KISS concert. I love both movies and am glad to see him further his career. Plus he adds also the perfect comedy relief.
Meaghan Rath plays Sally a Ghost who is relativity new to the scene of being a ghost. She is all giddy and upbeat most of the time but still unclear as to how she perished. She has yet to move on to the other side and resides in the apartment where she and her fiancé lived when she died. Her filmography isn't as impressive as the other two but I think this could be her shot to shine as she plays a very lovable character.
All in all first episode is a two parter and we will have to tune in again next week to see where the events
takes us. The plot of the story as you can gather by the character infos revolves around those three characters trying to lead normal lives minus the ghost, kind of hard to work at Burger King when no one can see you. It really surprised me the human element they put in. They aren't just putting all these great monsters together in one show and then delivering it, they also show us the human side of these characters. This is a great show and something you wouldn't expect put of SyFy but more like the CW. I highly recommend this show to anyone who has not seen it. I give it 9 gamma bombs outta 10.
