Pretty Little Liars (2010)
Addicted it's AMAZING
I started watching this after a friend recommended I watch it. She kept on going on and on so I decided to give it a watch. I made the initial mistake of multi tasking while watching the first ep and missed information so watched it again. From watching the first ep a second time I was hooked!
I am currently half way through series 3 and I have only been watching it for 1 week. Apart from work and family time, this show has purely taken over my life. This is one of the best shows to have been made in a long time. The twists and turns from one episode to the next is unlike any other. The vibe is similar to that of desperate housewives, once you watch one episode you need to watch the next.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good guessing game of a show. You will not be disappointed.
CSI: Cyber (2015)
Am I the only one who did not find this bad?
So many of the reviews on this show are slating the acting, the episode structure, the lighting, anything which can be picked at, it's happening. Many reviewers seem annoyed by the fact this is not anything like NY/Miami (both respectively have been cancelled).
CSI:Cyber is looking at a different form of crime, one which, is becoming a lot more common in this day and age of technological advances. There are plenty of other programs and films which have featured technology playing some form of role within a crime (Untraceable?); the CSI franchise has took it upon themselves to make a show about this.
I genuinely do not see where all of the poor reviews are coming from, they have used a well known actress to play a lead role and smaller screen actors for supporting roles (sound familiar from the other CSI spin offs?). This version of the series (judging from this episode) does not sport murder, blood and crime scenes as the other series' do, however, it addresses what could happen in generation filled with technology. The first episode centred around how an everyday household baby object can be used for baby trafficking, whilst this can be seen as extreme, the hacking of camera objects is not uncommon in real life.
Many people are seeing the CSI name and expecting it to automatically create the same buzz as the other spin-offs, this is a different form of crime, therefore comparisons based solely on it being a CSI spin off is taking away the fact this show is actually a SPIN OFF. It is not supposed to be the exact same, follow the same format etc. It is something new, current and different to most other shows.
Personally I can't wait for the next episode. I look forward to seeing how the characters develop and how the series progresses. It is unfair to write the series off after just one episode, most spin offs are compared to harshly to the original show. Watch with an open mind and it's really not that bad. No series has an impeccably flawless first few episodes, it takes time for an audience to warm to the characters, this show just needs to be given a chance.
