WHAT TO WATCH ON TV THIS AUTUMN | PART TWO

Hello everyone! Autumn is that time of year which is that perfect weather outside to simply stay inside during the evenings or a lazy Sunday and just cosy up watching some good TV. Autumn/Winter always seems to be the time when all of the good new/existing TV shows come out, which couldn't be better timing really. With that in mind for today's post i am back with part two of "what to watch on tv this autumn" and i am so excited to share with you some existing/new upcoming shows...


1. station 19 - sky witness | catch up here |
So in part one i mentioned how once September rolls around so does the new season of Grey's Anatomy, which so far has been as amazing as it always is. Now that also means Station 19 is back with another season, which i am so excited because season one ended on a cliffhanger moment. Station 19 is a "spin-off" from the creators of Grey's Anatomy but all about the fire station Station 19 in Seattle and there has been a couple of cross-over episodes now between the two shows. This show has you feeling equally as hooked as when you are watching Grey's Anatomy and has you feeling all of those similar type of feels. 

2. line of duty - bbc/netflix | catch up here |
Next up is a show that i have finally started watching myself and i am so late to the party, but i am pretty sure i am not on my own there. If you watched the Bodyguard (which i featured in part one) and loved it, then Line of Duty is for you as it by the same writer. Line of Duty is a police drama, starting when DC Steve Arnott is transferred to a police anti-corruption unit after he refuses to be part of a cover-up involving an accidental shooting. Line of Duty currently has 4 seasons, with season 5 returning early 2019, so there is definitely plenty of time to get caught up this Autumn. 

3. the little drummer girl - bbc/amc | watch the trailer here |
If you was a huge fan of The Night Manager tv series, then you are probably going to want to be watching the new up-coming six part series also by the same production company and another adaptation from the genius spy novelist John le Carré. What makes me equally as excited for this show, as not only does the trailer make the show look as good if not better than the Night Manager is the fact that The Little Drummer Girl stars Alexander Skarsgård, who is by far one of my favourite actors and i mean isn't he lovely to look at also?

4. dark heart - itv drama | watch the trailer here |
Next is another up-coming show this time to ITV this month and is from the writers of the ever so talked about Unforgotten, which is another detective drama. Dark Heart follows DI Will Wagstaffe who is haunted by the murder of his parents when he was 16 years old. This series is an adaptation from novelist Adam Creed who has written a series of books featuring the main character Will Wagstaffe. This show will also be a six part series.

5. informer - bbc | watch the trailer here |
Next up is yet another six-part bbc drama set to fill that Bodyguard shaped hole in your evening, this time in the form of the counter-terrorism spy thriller Informer. This show is set to show you the messy/boundary-crossing relationship between an informant and police handler, that is set to have you hooked this Autumn as it follows the theme of trust, deception and ever-present danger. This series has a premiere date coming Tuesday 16th October on BBC one at 9pm! 

6. a discovery of witches - sky one | catch up here |
Finally is a new show to Sky that so far has a handful of episodes that has aired called A Discovery of Witches, which is definitely a series for those who love diving into the world of something a little more supernatural. The show is based around a historian Diana who finds herself in a world of Vampires, Daemons, Witches and forbidden love and also comes across something that forces her to uncover her own magical heritage.

WHAT TO WATCH ON TV THIS AUTUMN | PART ONE

Hello everyone! Now that we are officially into September that means one thing and one thing only, those autumnal nights are fast approaching us. For me personally there is nothing better than getting all cosy on an autumnal evening, to either read a good book or watch a gripping tv series. So for today's post i thought i would talk some tv with you and more specifically some of the shows i am currently loving, as well as some upcoming shows that i am itching to binge on myself...


1. bodyguard - bbc one | watch on bbc iPlayer here |
So i just had to kick things off with my new Sunday night tv obsession on BBC one at 9pm, which is a show called Bodyguard. Where do i even begin? This new drama had me hooked from the very beginning, showing that it isn't one of those that takes you time to get into it. The series is set around a police sergeant David Budd, a heroic war veteran now working as a bodyguard and his job is to protect the home secretary, whose politics stands for everything he hates. This show is very much the case of trust nobody, which has you sat on the edge of your seat.  

2. victoria - itv | watch on netflix here |
This time last year was about the time where i first binge watched Victoria series one, before series two aired and i just loved everything about it. I have mentioned before how i love anything about Queen Victoria, as she seemed like such an inspiration especially when it comes to being a young woman with power. Series three is set to return this autumn/winter time on ITV and i can't wait, i knew it would be making a come back as they have recently re-aired the show on ITV3 and of course i had to watch it again from the beginning.

3. vanity fair - itv | watch on itv here |
Sticking with the whole period drama series, next up is a new series to ITV which is called Vanity Fair. Vanity Fair is an adaption of a novel by William Makepeace Thackeray, if i am being honest i didn't know what to expect from this show but i really enjoyed the pilot episode. The series is based around the character Becky Sharp, who is an orphan and after school she determined to rise in society. So far there has only been two episodes so far with the next episode airing this Sunday at 9pm on ITV, the series will consist of seven episodes.

4. driven - passionflix | watch on passionflix here |
I have talked about Passionflix in several posts before and how if you are a romance novel fan, then Passionflix is definitely the movie service for you as they are making romance novels into movies. That being said the Driven book series by K.Bromberg has actually been made into a tv series, consisting of six episodes so far which was all of book one. Driven has been one of my favourite book series that i have read this year, so of course i was excited for the tv series and i was not disappointed in the slightest bit. I am also super excited as they are about to start filming on the movie for the Protector book by my favourite author Jodi Ellen Malpas, so i assume that will also be available this autumn/winter. 

5. s.w.a.t - sky | watch on sky catch up here |
This show is relatively new airing in the UK although the show first aired in the US last year, is perfect for those who love crime/drama shows. The show is a modern twist of the 1975 show, titled the same and is focused around the main character Sergeant Daniel "Hondo" Harrelson. Hondo is a LA local and former marine, who has been tapped to lead a new special weapons and tactics unit. Season one consists of 22 episodes and season two will air in the US later on this month.

6. grey's anatomy - sky witness | watch on sky catch up here |
Of course as soon as September rolls around you know that means one thing and one thing only, Grey's Anatomy will be back for a new season. If you have never indulged in the brilliant medical drama series, then you are 100% missing out but even though the show is about to start it's fifteenth season, it is never too late to take the ultimate binge leap and start from the very beginning. The series always keeps you on your toes with every story line, from the emergency's coming into the hospital to the doctor's day to day life drama/relationships and of course a little bit of comedy mixed in. Also this show is so full of emotion, in fact i don't think i have ever watched an episode without shedding at least one tear ha ha!
