BBC show from the fall that's on BBC America now.

The program centers on an English teenager named Paul who is haunted by apocalyptic dreams that nobody can explain and is able to see spirits of the dead, known as the Fades, all round him. The Fades cannot be seen, smelt, heard or touched by other humans – they are what is left of humans who have died but not been accepted into Heaven. As such, the Fades left on Earth have become embittered and vengeful towards the human race. It is shown in the first episode that the Fades have found a way to become partly human again and regain control of touch within the real world. However, they remain unseen in the world except to those special few like Paul – 'Angelics' – who have the ability to perceive the Fades. Paul finds himself pulled into a conflict between the Angelics and the Fades, trying to prevent the Fades from breaking back into the world and destroying the human race.

Pretty good show.

Great show, I think it's by the same folks who made Being Human (the original Brit version, not the sanitized Amorican take). Does BBC America still censor shows? They did with Ali G and the Office back in 2001-2002. BBC USA also tried to run a highly censored (no guns, no drugs, no swearing) Trailer Park Boys back in the day. Kinda pointless to watch TPB without those elements. If BBC America is still demonstrating how the Puritans left the UK and are still going strong in the USA, it might be better to download the eps from various and sundry sharing sites.

One thing about the Brit-folks behind Being Human and the Fades: they believe in unhappy endings.

I thought this show was going to be about Mac, North and Chus.
