Running scenarios in Being Human

I recently got into the U.S. version of Being Human and my favorite aspect of the series is the pacing. It's fast enough that I'm never bored but slow enough to let me run scenarios.

I have enough time to come up with a few guesses for what is going to happen next. The fun part is, I'm rarely right. Everything that happens makes sense within the story but I still get surprised because I can't account for every plot twist or new bit of information.

I like that the pacing in Being Human lets me think about the story while I'm watching the episode. It's the type of audience participation that happens easily in novels but is difficult to reproduce on television.
