Fun Week!

Television was so much fun this week!!! Came across a new BBC Two mini series. If you have enjoyed the stuff I  have enjoyed that means you and I have similar taste... in which case you have to watch

Dancing On The Edge



The show is about a black jazz band in London in the early 1930's and I strongly recommend it. High drama, and as the tag line says... a story of love, music and ambition... THUMBS UP!!


Suits finale finally aired and I have to say... I expected more from the finale.. felt like a bit of a let down...but its a great show.. and I'm sure the next season will kick butt again!!

Another one of a series I avidly followed started again with its third season

Body of Proof



This show seems to get better with time.. it really has developed really well... if you haven't caught it yet... catch up quick.. the third season just began.. so do a marathon weekend and you will be all caught up. Don't have a trailer yet.. but as soon as I find one ... I will of course post it up here for you

Greys Anatomy


... has become fantastic again... its picked up and feels like the writers are all excited again... really enjoyed this week's episode



If you are not up to speed on the show ... don't watch the trailer... but get up to speed.. is worth your time 


Now if you are into mini series.. one I recently came across though it came out in 1999, is 

Wives & Daughters



very Jane Austin type of story.. and again worth your time if you enjoy period dramas


and of course 

SCANDAL



I can't say this enough...if you are not watching this...you are missing out on a fab show..


This  is a trailer from Season 2....

And last but not least a brand new British comedy on Sky Living called

The Spa



Unfortunately the British are also very slow in getting promotional material out..so no trailer for this either..its a light comedy and is good if you have just seen something heavy and want quick light entertainment. Happy viewing and of course leave a comment and/or write to me ayeshahalam@yahoo.com

Suits Has Great Writing

I said it before and I say it again...if you haven't started watching Suits yet..you are missing out on some fantastic television..very clever scripting and the characters are great


The finale is next week... and one that I am sure will have me screaming for the next season to begin pronto... so if you are not up to speed yet.. what are you waiting for? Here is a trailer from Season 1.. hope it gets you scramming to get your dvds!


Now if you are into politically incorrect humor... then perhaps Newsreaders is for you


Its quirky, funny.. very politically incorrect and only 10 minutes long.. so makes for an amusing few minutes if you don't feel like getting into anything serious but want some quick light entertainment


another riveting series... despite some of the initial dialogue in the first episode being a bit off putting is Scandal


The script again is great entertainment with all the intrigues one requires... fantastic fun! Here is a trailer for Season 2 of this series including some behind the scenes chats with some of the stars of the show



Now one of the new shows that have just started and has me totally hooked.. is The Following


Its absolutely brilliant and if you are into thrillers... you HAVE to watch this.. absolutely brilliant television..the suspense will have you on the edge of your seat without a doubt


Well that's my contribution for this time... Happy Viewing ... and as always .. please leave a comment or you can write to me at ayeshahalam@yahoo.com

Dark & Intense

Some new entrants on the TV scene again.. and some of them are certainly worth a mention.. I do intend to follow them and I am suggesting them here for you to take a look at as well. First of all, lets start with 


It will keep you on the edge of your seat and if you enjoy thrillers... this is a show you want to watch


Fox TV seems to have a winner with this one.. at least it has started off well

Next on my list is 


Think 80's ... Russian sleeper cells in the USA ... and Russian defectors.... this show seems to have a lot of promise... look forward to seeing them hold the initial pace and keep it going


and last but not least... NetFlix's 


Kevin Spacey is fantastic in this... 


Those were the new entrants.. and now back to a show I wasn't too sure about .. but happy to report it has picked up and is interesting enough to watch after all


Yes go ahead... watch it ... good fun... has all the hallmarks of a good series


That's it for now folks... Happy viewing.. please leave a comment or write to me at ayeshahalam@yahoo.com
