Teen Wolf

Unlike a lot of supernatural themed shows that portray all varieties of 'unnatural' creatures, this series is solely based on werewolves. The factor about this show that would perhaps categorise it as 'teen drama' is that, majority of the protagonists of the show are high school teenagers, the most notable character being Scott McCall, who was bitten by a werewolf which caused him to turn into one. 

The series has a lot of emphasis on werewolf mythology, some which are stereotypical and well known, and others a little more unique. Having a darker tone and sense of comedy to it, there is also the involvement of horror and violence, which most certainly caught my interest. Unlike the 1985 movie of the same name on which it is loosely based, this television adaption is more edgier and darker, with a lot more intended focus on the mythological aspect. Keeping in mind that it is 'teen drama', the romance subplots are warranted most of the time, except maybe at a few moments, wherein it seems like they're trying to push it too hard. 

The setting and atmosphere of the show is brilliant, and so are the plot twists. The high school scenario may seem unrealistic, seeing as the characters are never in class half the time and whatnot, but considering that that the series' primary target is to keep the supernatural aspect running, the creators have done a good job. Each season has it's own compelling plot line, with the third season being my personal favourite, and a total of four seasons. The fifth season will premiere on June 29th, with 20 episodes, which will be split into two parts.

White Collar

Falling under the category of crime and drama, this show is about a smart and multi-talented con artist, Neal Caffrey, who works for FBI Special Agent Peter Burke, as a criminal informant. This unconventional arrangement arose as part of a deal that Caffrey made with the FBI when he was caught; he would help them catch white collar criminals by providing insider information and in return, he stays out of prison. 

It is a not a common concept used in a lot of series, and added to that is the overall light hearted atmosphere, that got me interested in giving it a try. Admittedly, Matt Bomer was also a part of the reason, whose good looks and acting give the character Neal Caffrey the much needed charm that makes an individual an excellent conman. The relationship and interaction between Caffrey and Burke has a certain appeal and wit, that starts off as purely professional but then develops into something personal and that development is very much evident. 

For those who are looking for hard-hitting, gory murders and crimes, this isn't the show for them, since White Collar is not exactly like others such as Criminal Minds or CSI. Instead, this series showcases a lot of simple but elegant and classy crimes, that have more than once, made Caffrey and the FBI take on unusual methods in order to get them solved. As the seasons progress, the plot twists get better and the episodes also have interesting scenes with the appearance of recurring characters that are of assistance one or another. The show ended on December 18th 2014, the six-episode sixth season being it's last and to say that I was disappointed would be an understatement.

Once Upon A Time

This show revolves around the lives of well known fairy tale characters, who were transported to the 'real world' from their own realm and had their memories taken away, as a result of a powerful curse cast by the Evil Queen. Now residing in a fictional town, Storybrooke, the episodes portrays two different storylines; one about the events happening in the 'real world' of Storybrooke and the other is a backstory of each character and as to how they became a part of the curse. 

With just four seasons in the running, this particular show has already become one of my all-time favourites. Not only does it capture the fantasy element really well, the way the characters are linked and connected to one and another is just brilliant. While there was a point in the show wherein one of the plot lines seemed to be ongoing unnecessarily, it revived with the introduction of new characters that landed in Storybrooke, not as a cause of the curse. The authenticity of the series is further amplified by the characters' elaborate costumes/outfits, the special effects of the magic involved and the detailed sets of both Storybrooke and the past realm (the Enchanted Forest). 

Once the memories are restored, it is quite enthralling to witness the characters as they come to terms with their dual identities and how their actions in the past, are perhaps what led them to the present day version of reality, with the curse and it's consequences. Additionally, the series also shows a darker side to the 'heroic' fairy tale characters that I am familiar with, having allowed me to see them in a different light and I certainly recommend that you give it a shot. 

Happy binge-watching! 

Criminal Minds

As the name indicates, this is yet another series under the crime/thriller genre and is currently on it's tenth season. Unlike many other crime procedurals, this show focuses on catching criminals by 'profiling' them, a task taken up by FBI's Behavioural Analysis Unit (BAU). The creators continue to be successful in showing that there a lot of instances wherein you have to get into the mind of the criminal in order to catch him/her, and not just concentrate only on the crime. 

Ranging from kidnappings, killings, bomb blasts and so on, the series has managed to portray a variety of crimes, some more graphical than the rest. The acting of the individuals who play the culprits and victims are so powerful and raw, definitely giving the show a realistic and convincing touch. Additionally, they haven't zoomed in too much into the relationships between the protagonists (the FBI profilers) but made it over-dramatic but rather, done it with the right amount to show that there is indeed a strong bond between the characters. 

Each of them has been through something traumatic, lost someone close to them, and that has made me empathise with the characters and admire them at the same time, for they relentlessly manage to catch the bad guys. It's intriguing to see how they use the clues to create an accurate profile about the criminal, thereby making the connections that eventually leads them to him/her. 

Happy binge-watching! 

Community

A different kind of a sitcom, Community is about a varied group of students (a bit like The Breakfast Club), who have enrolled in the local community college in the fictional city Greendale, Colorado. You don't get to hear the usual kind of jokes, but rather the show has a lot of pop-culture references and also mocks many of the typical television cliches. I really enjoy the sense of humour portrayed in the episodes and by the characters, and isn't what I'm normally exposed to. 

The biggest plus point of this show, are it's amazing characters. With each one so very different from the other, it really is like a perfect way to state that each individual is indeed unique and has some features or the other that makes them stand out. It was nice to see a study group that was formed purely for selfish reasons by Jeff Winger, turned out to have more impact on everyone in the group, than they could have imagined. The humourous methods with which they deal with everyday situations is also another funny aspect of the show. To say that there are a lot of pop-culture references would be an understatement, especially since one of the characters, Abed, is a TV shows and movies geek.

There are many episodes that I could definitely watch again and laugh like it's the first time. Yet, there were also a few that weren't all that funny and seemed to have been trying too hard. Everyone might not be eased so quickly into the humour within the first season but once you are past that, you are hooked, for there are a couple of crazy and imaginative episodes as well. I cannot wait for the sixth season, which will air on March 17, 2015. 

Happy binge-watching! 

Arrow

This show is about the DC Comics superhero, Green Arrow (Oliver Queen), who, after years of being stranded on an deserted island due to a ship wreckage, returns home to Starling City to fight crime as a secret vigilante. Unlike many other heroes, he does not possess any 'powers' and rather fights with trained physical strength, strategic mind and his main weapon, which is a bow and arrow. The fact that he has no out-of-this-world features and yet is able to bring down strong enemies, is what makes him one of my favourite heroes and also, one of my favourite shows. 

This is one of those serials that keeps getting better with each succeeding season. Starting off with Oliver's return and him spending his nights killing criminals on his 'list', it was sort of monotonous for a while and wasn't exactly gut-wrenching or raw as I thought it would be. But of course, the best part is getting to see him harness such a primitive weapon to such a high usage and that is something that makes the character very much stand out. The flashbacks of his moments during those five years away from his home, also helps to form a connection between the character and the audience. 

The action sequences are are very well shot and helps in giving the show that dark and gritty edge. The ongoing third season is the most brilliant so far, with it's enthralling major plot, bringing in a main villain into the folds and yet another superhero from the comics, The Atom. Overall, I would say that this is a show that everyone should check out.

Happy binge-watching! 

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.EL.D

This is a show based on S.H.I.E.L.D (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division), which happens to be a fictional spy organisation in the Marvel Comics, in a world surrounded by many superheroes. These agents deal with unusual heroes or enemies are responsible for making sure there is a balance of peace and anonymity between the gifted ones and the ordinary civilians. Being a fan of all things Marvel, I had been quite excited on hearing about this show. 

I am not going to lie, the first half of the first season was not all that good, to say the least. The cases were too random and a little dragging and the story didn't seem to be going anywhere. But once the first major plot twist occurred, that's when things really got interesting and the show had  found it's tempo. Not like I would have given up completely, but I could see why people would find it unappealing. That aside, the show as a whole is currently going awesome in the second season, especially with the introduction of many more characters right from the comics. 

The character development is a huge plus point, which is evident from comparing how they were in season one and how the chain of events has affected them all. The storyline is getting really captivating in season two, supported by equally good special effects. 

Happy binge-watching! 

The Originals

As someone who did not like supernatural show, The Vampire Diaries after giving it a chance, I was highly hesitant on beginning with it's spinoff series, The Originals. I found Vampire Diaries to be way too dramatic for me, and not really the thrilling kind. Overall, it wasn't my cup of tea. However, whilst there is a certain amount of dramatic flair in The Originals, the story is much more compelling and not unnecessarily focusing on the wrong aspects. 

Centring around the Mikaelson siblings (Klause, Elijah and Rebekah), it is seen that family really is everything and nothing can overpower the force of that strength. I like the fact that the show does not puts too much emphasis on love triangles and couples' dilemmas. Rather, the creators have diverted the direction of the story towards portraying conflicts regarding family matters and dominance, as the  three siblings attempt to take back their home, New Orleans, from the clutches of the vampires, who took control in their absence. 

This plot for the first season did extend on for quite a bit but continued to have it's captivating moments. The ongoing war between the vampires, werewolves and witches have also been highlighted and the interconnection between the three is also interesting to watch. While there have been a few cliche episodes, there are good plot twists as well, which are getting better in the current second season. The whole 'supernatural' theme is really played out well and is a certain plus about the show. 

Happy binge-watching! 

Parks and Recreation

Even though I had not been with this comedy show since the beginning, and had only finished catching up with the previous seasons a few months back, it is already one that I really adore. Using a 'mockumentary' filming style, the show is about Leslie Knope, who is a dedicated and enthusiastic government official working in the parks department in the state of Indiana. I did decide to give the show a chance because of my admiration for Amy Poehler and I was not disappointed. 

The diversity of characters is one of the things that is really interesting to see here and each one's sense of humour is uniquely different but amusing nonetheless. It is also nice to see how they progress as the seasons continue, following their bigger dreams and goals, rather than just remaining in the same job position. While I'm liking where the show is at right now, that was not the same feeling when I had started. I must point out that the pilot and the first two seasons were not all that appealing, and it was from the third season wherein the show really kicked off and became hilarious. So yes, it did take me a while to get into the feel and theme of the episodes but there is no reason to stop midway. 

It was obvious that much research was conducted as far as the topics in the show were shown, and there were even episodes which were based on real life current events. It has good comedic drama and consists of a brilliant cast that have made me love their characters. The ongoing season is the seventh and it is the final one. 

Happy binge-watching! 

Glee

Here's a simple statement to start off: I love musicals and have always had a soft spot for them. But honestly, that is not the only reason that I got so invested in this particular comedy-drama show. For a whole multitude of reasons, I feel like this one of the few shows that I can relate to, especially knowing that whatever the characters are going through from the start of their high school life, is more or less what happens to a lot of people in reality. Not only do they exhibit 'show choir' in a whole new level, the show also focuses on a lot of social issues and unity amongst a group. 

To say that the musical performances done in the episodes are good, would be an understatement. Featuring hit songs of various artists, such as The Beatles, Madonna, Michael Jackson,  Lady Gaga and many more, that whole cast have definitely done justice to all sorts of music. While that still remains to be the strong point of this show, there are certainly areas wherein the plot hadn't been so great. Some episodes did seem like they were trying to incorporate things without much of a creative juice. 

Granted, I wouldn't exactly say that this show is for everyone. Being quite open in portraying the problems of many people around the world when it comes to sexuality, alcoholism, relationships, identity crisis and so on, the script has most certainly not been shy in covering those areas. But no matter what anyone points out to me, this remains to be one of my most really favourite shows till date and I feel a strong connection to it. If anything, the show has done a wonderful job in relaying the message that even the underdogs have a powerful voice, if not more powerful than the rest and we should not let anyone or anything, stand in the way of our dreams. 

Happy binge-watching! 

Sherlock

Based on the characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock is a British crime drama that presents the novelist's work in a more modern fashion. Much like a lot of people may be, I too am a huge fan of this fictional character and his brilliantly mind-blowing deductive abilities and honestly, the creators of the show have definitely captured the essence wonderfully. 

All the stories written for the episodes are very well played out, and the plots had me hooked from the start. As the seasons progressed, each plot was better than the previous but admittedly, the first two seasons were a little but more gripping than the third instalment. Additionally, the casting is also quite spot on and I couldn't have asked for better actors to have portrayed the roles of Holmes, Watson and Moriarty as they seemed to be entirely immersed with their characters. 

Unlike the movie adaptions starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, the television version captures the original, unique features of the characters as it is in the books and that's what made me the most excited in particular. The way the creators have managed to transfer the atmosphere in the books to something in accordance to the modern age, combined with the suspense-filled mysteries, gives the show that edge that is very much it's own and twisted from others of it's kind. I cannot wait for the fourth season, which is set to air in 2016. 

Happy binge-watching! 

Constantine

For those who don't follow the DC comics of Hellblazer, may still have heard of the character Constantine, thanks to the Keanu Reeves movie released back in 2005. However, I must incessantly point out that the ongoing show is much better than the movie adaption, even though it's just at it's first season. As an added bonus, Matt Ryan certainly has the charm in order to pull off the 'badass and smart exorcist' factor that is needed for the portrayal of the character.  

As far as the show's categorisation of dealing with supernatural beings from the depths of hell or beyond, the creators have done a good job. The individual episodes may have no major relation to one and another but I like they way there have been subtle hints of something worse that's about to happen to the characters probably at the end of the season, rather than just dropping the whole thing on the viewers like a sudden bomb. The visuals are quite effective and so is the setting that gives the whole demonic vibe to the show. 

There are moments wherein the some of the episodes get a little too sentimental for my liking but I suppose it does add a complexity to the characters. I did find one or two episodes a bit dragging as compared to the usual fast paced ones but the incidents in each one are creative nonetheless. The show definitely has the dark edge with the aura of mystery that's very much appealing. 

Happy binge-watching! 

Suits

Be it with books or television, the topic of law is something that has never failed to fascinate me. More than I would care to admit, I love watching shows that portray and sometimes even educate the audience about the inner workings of the legal system. Hence the reason I was not disappointed with the pilot episode of Suits, and had felt like continuing on with it. The protagonists being a Manhattan corporate lawyer, Harvey Spector and his associate, Mike Ross who happens to be a college dropout  but has the smarts of a Harvard law grad, and the unconventional bond between the two is one of the most enthralling elements of the show. 

The episodes of the first season helped me ease into the show with minimal complicated plot lines and mostly just showcasing various clients' cases that the firm has undertaken to resolve. The transition into the suspense and story development was a good one and didn't feel rushed or forced as new problems began to unfold. Additionally, the show has the adequate stylings and atmosphere of a proper legal firm, and even though this is for entertainment, the undertone of seriousness of taking law as an occupation, is more than stressed upon. 

Currently ongoing with the fourth season, I like the direction of which it's going but I can't help but point out that the personal conflicts between the characters might be getting a bit too much in the way of the show's main focus. While the drama is more than welcomed to be used to spice up the show, I do miss the times wherein the main concern of the protagonists and other characters, were their clients' cases. At the same time, I shall also note that in a way, this has all helped the characters evolve and it is obvious that their ethics and moral codes related to the law, aren't so clearly black and white anymore. 

Happy binge-watching! 

The Strain

The one genre of television that I watch the least, is that of horror. I find it quite difficult to find something that could both be scary and with a good plot, which was why I was quite intrigued by the arrival of the show, The Strain. Based on the novel trilogy of by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, the concept focuses on portraying vampires for what they truly are; blood sucking parasites that lose every shred of humanity once they are turned, with only a sort of hunger on their minds. 

Overall, I would say that the first season wasn't as brilliant as one could have hoped. In fact, the most exciting scenes of the episodes would arise only with the appearance of the vampires, shooting out their 'stingers' to draw blood from the victim. The horror and gore elements were most certainly well placed but I think quite a bit more could have been done in terms of character and story development.  Perhaps the show could have pulled it off had it not been for the slightly excessive personal, dramatic moments between the characters. 

But as far as the freaky nature of the show is concerned, the creators have done an excellent job. All the killings and the victims being turned into vampires were portrayed well and that's what I liked the most. I was also glad to see that the show introduced the traditionalism that associates with the word 'vampire', rather than the current trend of having these creatures showcased as 'young, attractive and humane.' It might not be everyone's cup of tea but for a bit of gruesome viewing, I would recommend it. Even though this season may not have been A grade, it shows good potential to become even better in the second season. 

Happy binge-watching! 

Gotham

First off, let me just say that I am a huge fan of all things Batman, which is exactly why I did not give it a second thought before starting with the pilot, after the day it was aired. I would have loved to see Bruce Wayne in action as the Dark Knight but the concept of showing the viewers his origin, all the way from the time his parents were murdered, is one that has definitely caught my interest as well. And of course, Ben McKenzie's amazing performance as the young Detective Jim Gordan, is just another reason to give this show a shot. 

While the ultimate task of Detective Gordan and his partner, Detective Harvey Bullock, has been to solve the case of the Wayne murders, it hasn't stopped the two from catching other major criminals as well  and keeping the city of Gotham safe. I have noted that the show is going about with the introduction of the major Batman villains such as Penguin, Riddler, Two-Face, Scarecrow and their backstories in a creative manner, one that has left me wanting to know more. The scenes in some of the episodes portraying the unlikely friendship between Gordan and Bruce are also effective in telling how the Detective will play an influential role in Bruce becoming the Dark Knight, much later in the future. 

Aside from the expected dangers that arrives from being a cop, Gordan finds himself exposed to even more dangers and corruption as he gets entangled with Gotham's Mafia and gangster associates, who are major controllers of the underworld of the city. The casting is brilliant, especially the actors portraying the Penguin and the Riddler, seeming as though both have merged with their characters to give more than convincing performances. There may be no Dark Knight yet, but I love the show's plot line so far and DC fans of this superhero will not be disappointed. 

Happy binge-watching!

The 100

Even though the show is currently at it's ongoing second season, I had only started watching it since last week. The main reason for the show having caught my attention, is the theme at which it's set at, which is post-apocalyptic in nature, taking place 97 years after a nuclear war had wiped out almost all form of civilisations on planet Earth. The only known survivors are the residents of twelve space stations in Earth's orbit prior to the war but once they realise that their resources are on the verge of failing, a hundred prisoners are sent down to Earth to ensure whether it's habitable or not. 

If there is one word I would use to describe this show, it would be 'brutal'. Sudden deaths all around, merciless punishments, rushed acts of violence are just some of the dangerous situations that the prisoners find themselves surrounded by on the ground. A natural flow of transformation occurs from wherein the young adults go from not trusting each other to being united in order to be able to fight the dangers of this new world. The impact of the show is undeniably raw, thanks to the gritty atmosphere and with the way the scenes have been captured. 

I think it's safe to note that the only drawback so far are a few of the random, romantic rendezvous that seem to spring up between some of the characters. Luckily, the attention is not drawn onto that with much focus, though momentary confusion did linger in my mind. Apart from that, it is a brilliant concept for a sic-fi adventure categorised television show, providing the viewers with a different reality that's the outcome of an apocalypse. 

Happy binge-watching!

Grimm

This is a police procedural categorised show, therein which exist creatures and characters inspired by the Grimms' Fairy Tales in a twisted, dark world. The protagonist, Nick Burkhardt, is a homicide detective, who also happens to be a descendant of hunters called Grimms, who have the unique ability to fight supernatural creatures and see them in their true form that nobody else can see. Unlike the happy ending stories that kids are used to growing up with, the characters on here are shown with a darker side, as was possibly intended in the original tales written by the Grimm brothers. 

The show kicks off with Nick battling his newfound awareness about his ability by himself, but as the seasons proceed, the people closest to him begin to find out as well. As far as the pace of the episodes are concerned, I can't complain much, though there are places in the plot lines here and there that could have done with a bit of improving. Regardless of a few stretched out episodes, the character development and story keeps going in a better direction by the end of the first season. Admittedly, it did take me a bit of time to get used to the theme and setting but having stuck with it till the current season four and still ongoing, I do not regret it. 

One of the intriguing things that I've noticed is how they show Nick caught in a hard place at times, struggling between his duty as a cop and as a Grimm; one as a servant to the law and the other, a killer of supernatural beings. It portrays just how intricate his character is and how it affects the lives of those around him. The fantasy/fictional element consisting of the creatures is played in well and certainly gives the show the grit and edge that's not seen in the usual 'cop shows'. Also, I'm definitely happy to have heard that the show is renewed for a fifth season, by the NBC. 

Happy binge-watching! 

The Flash

This show is based on the DC Comics character Barry Allen/Flash, who is a superhero with the ability to move at superhuman speeds, which was acquired when he was struck by lightening caused by the explosion of a particle accelerator in his hometown, Central City. Whilst his actual occupation consists of being a forensic analyst for the police force, he uses his new found power to stop others who had gained powers (meta-humans) during the explosion but chooses to use them to do harm. 

I'm not going to lie, even though the show is only on it's first season, I'm already a huge fan and when I heard that it was renewed for a second season, I was more than ecstatic. Apart from the casting being more than adequate, it is obvious that the creators have put in their best efforts to make sure that the elements of the show resemble those of the comics. Unlike having the dark and gritty edge that can be found in the other DC Comics character adapted show, 'Arrow', The Flash contains more of a lighter tone and portrays a lot of scientific explanations regarding the meta-humans, that makes the show all the more fascinating. 

While the episodes are basically just the average 'stop the bad guy' storyline, it is the action, the visuals and the acting that make the show a very worthwhile watch. The characteristics of each individual with hauntings from their pasts, adds in that air of mystery, unable to read them like an open book. The introduction of major villains like Captain Cold and Gorilla Grodd has been superb so far and I can't wait to see where the writers are headed with the upcoming episodes. 

Happy binge-watching! 

Forever

The concept of immortality has always deemed to be interesting to me, which is perhaps the biggest reason as to why I had decided to give this show a chance. Still ongoing with only it's first season, it falls under the categorisation of crime and fantasy, courtesy of the main protagonist, Henry Morgan, who is an immortal medical examiner residing in New York. Not only can he not die, but he has stopped ageing as well, which has enabled him to gather an amazing array of knowledge and quite a remarkable set of observational skills which he puts to full use whenever examining a crime scene. 

The concept is most certainly an intriguing one and personally, I like the idea of watching someone who can never die, is exactly the one analysing the dead in order to make a living. The irony in that is not lost of course, but rather gives that interesting twist to the added complexity of the character. Each episode provides the viewer with a different murder case, and I think it's quite rapturing to witness Morgan's analysis methods, no matter how bizarre they appear to the normal eye. 

I suppose it is too soon to be making an in depth remark about the show but from what I've seen so far, it has the potential to be continued to further seasons. Some of the murder cases have minor plot twists as well, that keeps the audience compelled, rather then following with the clichés all the time. The recurring flashbacks about Henry's life during the 19th century is also very much a positive for it has helped me understand and connect with the character more. I guess I'll just have to wait and see just how far the creators are planning to go ahead with this one, but I definitely recommend it either way. 

Happy binge-watching! 

Supernatural

One of the biggest fandoms to ever dominate Tumblr, the show is about, as the name would suggest, all things of the supernatural genre. Vampires, werewolves, demons, you call it and it's there. Currently reigning in it's tenth season (that's right, a decade worth of episodes), I can really say that it's like I've been to hell and back with this particular show. 

The protagonists are two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester, who are from a family of Hunters that hunt down all such creatures and other so called non-existent ones, such as ghosts. Whilst the first few seasons are just the good and old fashioned hunting episodes, the plot line begins to thicken with arrival of more complex and intricate characters, starting with the appearance of angels. Oh yes, the classic and well known, 'warriors of God'. Ah, but if you think that is going mess things up, think again, because the fun hasn't even started. With unmatched plot twists, character development, a dash of predictable endings thrown in, each season carries on with it's own unique turn. 

If there is one thing I have to admire about this show, it is the way the viewers get to watch the characters grow and change with the perils that strike them, and whether you're new to the show or have been with them from the start, the changes are remarkably noticeable. Do not be fooled by the happy-go-lucky brothers in the early season, for the things they endure with each passing year, is just gut-wrenching, twisted and to say that there would be a lot of feelings involved would be an understatement. There is definitely going to come a point wherein you just might feel like cursing and appreciating the writers at the same time for their skill and thoughtful, sadistic scenes that have been incorporated into the show. 

But of course, I am not going to forget to mention that are indeed the well versed comedic episodes and moments, that will make you fall in love with the characters and the show, even more. And my personal favourite, some villains you just cannot hate, like the King of Hell and then others like....well, you just have to watch and find out for yourself. Be warned, becoming a Hunter (as the fanbase has named themselves), is not for the faint hearted. It could kill you or just make you stronger. 

Happy binge-watching! 

Doctor Who

As hard as it is for me to pick just one favourite television show, if there was one that was close enough, it would be Doctor Who. Honestly, I don't even know where to begin in order to describe this  unique and out of this world show, which would be funny considering it really does take place 'out of this world' at times. 

I think I'll start off by stating that this show has been on for over 50 years and if that does not tell you how great it is, nothing will. In the simplest way possible, it is centred around a mad man with a blue police box, often accompanied by a 'companion' as well. The so called mad man is known as 'The Doctor', the last known surviving member of his species, the Time Lords. The distinguishable proposition about this show is it's time travelling escapades featured in every episode. Be it the past, present or future, you will have seen it all by the end. Starting from mannequins that come to life to Weeping Angels and Daleks, there's just something about the world that will never be the same to you. 

Whilst the genre is that of sic-fi and fantasy, the show does not fail to provide us with just the right concoction of comedy, drama, overall emotional torture and mental anguish. Oh yes, that is not even an exaggeration. But if you think that is going to make you want to turn away, think again. Before you know it, you will be asking for more of the illogical explanations done in the most logical way, especially for the other worldly creatures and aliens that you will encounter. Granted, it does take a little time to get used to and some of it may not make sense at the beginning. But the minute the twisted things start to make perfect sense, that's when you know you have officially been transformed into a Whovian. 

Personally, I love the Time Lord science of having things bigger on the inside, as can be seen by the Doctor's time travelling machine, the TARDIS. But that is all just the tip of the iceberg. If you think that there just isn't enough to see on planet Earth or the galaxy, think again, because this show invites you to bear witness to literally everything unimaginable. 

Happy binge-watching!

Just an intro.

Hello everyone!

If you are one of those kindred souls looking for new shows to watch, or even get a review about some of the ones you may be already watching, you have come to the right place. To say that I watch a lot of TV would be an understatement, and I shall do my best to talk about as many serials as I can and if any of you have any suggestions as to which ones I should check out, let me know!

Happy binge-watching.
