If you like a good mystery to solve this is for you!

Advantages: Brilliant acting, fascinating storylines
Disadvantages: None for me

...the complete boxed set of Jonathan Creek DVD’s. Dave insisted that I had told him that I wanted this set but all I had said was that I liked Jonathan Creek – I didn’t actually realise that this set existed so it was a great surprise for me! The boxed set consists of five DVD cases – each of the first four contains two DVD’s and covers each of the four series. The final one only contains one DVD on which there are the two Christmas specials from ...

Review of Jonathan Creek (Box Set) (DVD)

Quite a family drama show - told from an adult perspective

Advantages: heart felt family drama that makes you laugh and cry
Disadvantages: a little far fetched with the directness of the family arguments

...exploring the intertwined relationships of brothers and sisters in adulthood and how reliant we all become on eachother at some point. There are a variety of different storylines to follow and shows different levels of depth on issues such as addiction, the war and trust. The story line is believable as the family is set to be an affluent californian family with well to do children who none of which appear to be struggling much. It can be hard to ...
...family but it is nice to see that the grass is not always greener on the other side and it isn't all just about money and what brands one is wearing. No this storyline explores character and relationships. Rating: A great show to watch and very believable characters, storylines are varied and easy to follow. Sally fields is great casting as the mother! ...

Review of Brothers And Sisters - Series 1 (DVD)

Cult drama from the 90s

Advantages: Innovative at the time, good depth to characters
Disadvantages: Can look a bit dated at times

...of the DVD boxset of This Life, a cult drama from the mid 90s based on a group of cohabiting twentysomethings in central London, mostly involved in starting their careers in law. For people of a certain age, this is a welcome reminder of their 20s, and seeing the friends a decade on in this setting is quite interesting. THE SHOW The show is based around the lives of the 5 main protagonists in their nascent law careers. Having just graduated ...
...now looks strange. Add to this the total lack of reference to the internet. It's a rather unlikely scenario on the face of it; law isn't exactly the most sexy profession you can think of, and there is in fact very little seen of clients or courts. Many scenes are played out in the offices (or chambers as they appear to be called, I'm no legal expert). The house is where most of the action is though, and it's really all about how the characters interact ...

Review of This Life - Series 1 And 2 (Box Set) (DVD)

dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones.

Advantages: good stories
Disadvantages: genre is getting a little saturated

Bones - Season 1 The Review A friend of mine recently loaned me his Season 1 boxset of Bones. He was singing its praises as he handed me the box saying "the show really sucks you in". So with no idea of what to expect I started trawling through the episodes. In the ongoing quest to arm criminals with a plethora of information on how NOT to get caught we have seen a number of television shows crop up that delve a fair bit deeper than your average ...
...more than 100%. Bones takes a similar but visually different approach in that crimes are investigated from a forensic point of view. Although looking at the very different setups between CSI and Bones I assume it is a different form of forensics that is being used, (I am not in Forensics and so I cannot comment). They also team up with the FBI which I think has been put in to A: make it a little more interesting and B: To get them out of the lab. ...
