Mistresses- Based on a UK version this tells the story of the loves and affairs of four successful women. The most notable name in the show is former Charmed star and my favorite actress Alyssa Milano. The show took about two episodes to really start moving but when it did it was so addictive! The characters are so likable even when they do bad things. It was shown in the UK & Ireland on TLC and it was permanent viewing on a thursday night. It's been picked up for another season thankfully because the series final is a pure cliff hanger. I can't wait for it to come back and I would seriously recommend the show for people who love plot twist dramas but ones that are easy to follow.
The Blacklist- This is my new favorite show. It only debuted 3 weeks ago and I'm already hooked. It is about wanted criminal Ray Redington working with new FBI Profiler Liz Kane, together they work to hunt down some of the most dangerous criminal in the world. In the first episode alone you have kidnappings, hostage situations and bombings, I was on the edge of my seat for the pilot and it got me hooked. The show got picked up for a full season and I seriously recommend people get in to it. It is on Sky Living at 9pm on Fridays and I cant wait for more.
Devious Maids- This show has pretty much the same premise as Desperate Housewives, which is no surprise as it was made by housewives creator Marc Cherry and produced by Eva Longoria. Housekeeper Flora is murdered in her employer's mansion and it's up to her friends to help find out what really happened to her. Although it is very similar to DH, it is still a good show. The characters are very likable and I love a good murder mystery. I like former Ugly Betty star Ana Ortiz back on screen as a mother trying to prove her son is being framed for the murder. It may have got off to a slow enough start but it is really easy to get into. I recommend it for anyone who liked Desperate Housewives or a good murder mystery.
Revenge- I know this show is huge in the US but I don't think it gets enough buzz over here. We are going to be going to the third season now and I cannot recommend this show enough. It follows Emily Thorne, a young women hell bent on revenge on the people who framed her father for a terrorist attack. The plotlines are so outrageous and addictive you will barely be able to wait until the next episode, So much happens in one season you think it happened ages ago. It is my second favorite show and I think more people need to get into it. If you want to get into before season 3 then you need to watch from the start as the backstories are very jammed and you can't dip in and out of the show but trust me you won't want to.
Scandal- Again I know this show is massive in the US but again I don't think it gets enough buzz on this side of the world, probably because it' shown on More 4 which I tend to forget I have. It follows Olivia Pope and her associates as the get rid of D.C's most powerful scandals. Kerry Washington is unbelievable in this role and the supporting cast are just as good. You can't help but want to watch one after another. I only started watching recently and I finished the first season in 1 day (something I am a little ashamed to admit!).Watch online to get the back story and I promise you this will be a staple in your tv diet.
