Advantages: Great TV Disadvantages: The worst of the five series
...The BBC`s rather bold policy of showing five series of The Wire back-to-back during the spring and summer evenings is very welcome as it annoying, and certainly all rather frantic if you want to keep up, video tapes piling up by our TVs as the excellent American cop series goes out at that post Newsnight, BBC2, 11:15pm weekday slot. It's a complete mystery why they didn't put it on the 9 pm weekday slot to build its popularity and so drag it out for two years it's that good and intelligent viewing for that anti-ITV prime-time slot.
Series one reflected the Black American drug culture of the City of Baltimore, through the eyes of the police, the legislature, the local politicians and the black criminal underclass themselves, their methods not that different from the good guys in getting the job done, whoever the good guys are...

Advantages: Sexy and vampy Disadvantages: some poor acting in parts
...shows, True Blood obviously being one of them.
True Blood
True Blood has been advertised on TV for ages, and unfortunately I have not had the channel to see it, I have had to watch adverts for something that I found genuinely appealing only to find they were advertsing a channel that I do not have...little bit harsh! However due to popularity it is now showing on channel 4 and I was so taken by the first episode that I bought the boxset on DVD so I can watch them in my own time. Which is quite a spoil sport of me really, but once I get my teeth into something I just won't let go, and I can see me watching these over and over!
It is an American supernatural drama series with was created by Alan Ball, like the recent popular film Twilight, True Blood is based on a series of books called The Southern Vampire Mysteries...

Advantages: Extremely gripping, fantastic plot, great read! Disadvantages: I got to the end of the book :(
...If you are not aware, "Wirein the Blood" is Val McDermid's second novel in the series with Dr. Tony Hill. However, if you have not already read the first book, "The Mermaids Singing", do not let that put you off reading this book ahead of time. "Wirein the Blood" is a fantastic book which can be read as a stand-alone. Even though I found it useful reading the books in chronological order, there is enough background information in "Wirein the Blood" to let you understand the key factors of the main characters (Dr. Tony Hill - a psychologist and Home Office Profiler and Detective Inspector Carol Jordan).
"Wirein the Blood" is based on a new profiling task force that is in the process of being set up to work in conjunction with the police in major investigations. At the start of the book, Dr. Tony Hill has acquired some 'members...
