I just discovered this show, and have only caught the first ep so far, but I can't wait to get a chance to sit down and catch up. It is very well done. They are not being depicted as the perfect heroes. they are flawed. But it makes them more real. Think this has the makings of a very good series.

Wolfblood

Wolfblood is a BAFTA-nominated fantasy/supernatural British television series aimed at teens. It is a co-production between CBBC and ZDF/ZDFE. The series, consisting of thirteen 30 minute episodes, premiered on CBBC from 10 September 2012. It was confirmed live on CBBC after the last episode of the second series that there would be a third series of Wolfblood by Leona Vaughan. It was also confirmed on Twitter by Debbie Moon.

Being a teenager is hard enough. Being a Wolfblood teenager is ten times more complicated. 14-year-old Maddy loves her abilities – heightened senses, being faster, stronger and more graceful – but hates the secrets that come with them." Wolfblood is a children's fantasy drama, created by English writer Debbie Moon for CBBC. Set in Northumbria, it follows two teenagers who are wolfbloods, humans able to transform into wolves (wolfbloods) at the full moon and at times when they're stressed. Wolfbloods are a mysterious race who have lived among us for centuries. Wolfbloods retain their superhuman speed, strength, agility, and senses when in human form, their abilities are very useful in helping them negotiate the turmoil of teenage life. But this is a secret that must be kept even from their closest friends, or they and all wolfbloods could be in deadly danger from humans.

I so look forward to the return of this series. It's aimed at teens but I think it's as good as most young adult dramas. Very intricate plotlines. And we got a cliffhanger for season 2 so can't wait to see that resolved. If you like supernatural shows, or teen dramas,  then this needs to be on your watch list.

Mrs Brown's Boys

Mrs Brown's Boys is a British-Irish award-winning sitcom created by and starring writer and performer Brendan O'Carroll. The show is based on O'Carroll's stage plays about the character Agnes Browne, which were developed from books and straight-to-DVD films. The sitcom continues the stories of Agnes, now with the shortened surname "Brown", and her family who are played by real-life close friends and family of O'Carroll's. After being slated by critics, the show has become a ratings success in both Ireland, where it is set, and the United Kingdom, where it is recorded. On 29 December 2012 the show began its third series. Mrs. Brown's Boys is a co-production among BBC Scotland, BocPix and RTÉ.
Show creator Brendan O'Carroll, alongside the BBC, have confirmed that Mrs Brown's Boys will return for a fourth series in 2014. It was later announced that this series would not be expected to air until late 2014.

Agnes Brown - a widow living in Ireland - runs her home with an iron fist as she manages her sons, daughter Kathy and best friend Winnie. Add elderly Grandad, various in-laws and grandchildren to the mix and Mrs Brown usually has her hands full.
Funny, outspoken and never at a loss for words (especially profanity), she gets through life and the daily grind with a caustic remark and a loving wink.

What makes the show different is that the "fourth wall" is broken. This could mean anything from Agnes interacting with the crew filming the show, allowing technical goofs and glitches to make their way into the story line or having the studio audience join in for an impromptu musical number.

I didn't have high hopes for this one. But it turned out to be pretty good. It puts a new spin on the Greek myths and makes you wonder at what might be happening here since some are told true to legend and others are not. If you were a fan of Xena and Hercules then this show should be right up your alley.

After an unbroadcast pilot was produced in 2009, Six episodes have been produced, the first three of which aired in 2010. Series two aired in 2012, and a third series began production in March 2013.

In this modernized version of the Conan Doyle characters, using his detective plots, Sherlock Holmes lives in early 21st century London and acts more cocky towards Scotland Yard's detective inspector Lestrade because he's actually less confident. Doctor Watson is now a fairly young veteran of the Afghan 'peace-keeping' fights, less adoring and more active

And surprisingly I quite enjoyed it. I think this premise only works cause it's a British show. They have a way of making these concepts work. It isn't the best show on the airwaves but it's worth a look.
