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!

BINGE WORTHY TV SHOWS

Hello everyone! For today's post i thought i would do something a little different and talk about all things tv shows, especially the ones i have been loving recently/been loving for quite some time. I mean come on let's face it we all love it when we find a binge-worthy tv show, perfect for either the evenings at home or at the weekend, don't we? Before i get into the shows, i thought i would just mention when it comes to tv shows i love a wide range of different genres (which i guess is the Gemini in me ha ha).

1. the bold type

So i thought i would kick things off with hands down my favourite show at the moment, which is The Bold Type and it is currently in its first season (mid-way through). It usually takes me one or two episodes to get into a show, but with this show i was hooked from the start. I love how this show is a current day almost "sex and the city" vibed show, focused around three modern girls (and a magazine) in their 20's. This show is full of laughs, cry's, friendship, driven women and relationships, a perfect show which every episode fly's by super fast.

2. victoria and the crown (period dramas)

Next i thought i would share with you the show i am currently binge-watching and loving, as i am a season late on starting the period drama (which season 2 just started back on ITV). As i mentioned i love a variety of different show genres, period dramas and even more so now this one as fun fact i always love anything to do with Queen Victoria and her life. Sticking with the period drama theme, another show i was obsessed with this time a Netflix original series called The Crown. The Crown is all about the early days when Queen Elizabeth came to the thrown, you can binge watch season one on Netflix before season two which is coming this December.

3. teen wolf, shadowhunters and midnight texas (supernatural)

Moving onto the more "supernatural" tv shows i am obsessed with and are total binge worthy shows, kicking things off with Teen Wolf which is sadly on it's last remaining episodes but 100% a must watch show if you have never indulged before. You might think oh Teen Wolf that sounds light, which couldn't be further from the truth as the show always has you on the edge of your seat and your heart in your mouth from start to finish. Shadowhunters has a similar theme to it but this time featuring, shadowhunters and downworlders (aka werewolf, vampires, warlocks and faeries). Finally we have Midnight Texas, which for me has kind of filled the True Blood void (which i also recommend as it is from the same author) full of dark, southern supernatural-ness.

4. the handmaid's tale

For me The Handmaid's Tale was one of those shows where i started to watch but was so confused about what was happening to begin with, yet i couldn't stop watching it and i was left feeling like i needed more after one episode had finished. This show is set in a society where not all the world is like this, yet they currently have no way out of it (the handmaid's that is) yet the main character Offred is determined to get out and you see her journey through her eyes, along side the other characters life's before this all happened. 

5. power
Moving onto Power which is coming to the end of it's forth season and is the best crime/drama show i have seen in a long-time (a perfect binge watch show at that). The main character Ghost is a successful night club owner who in-fact moonlights as a drug dealer and is a show where two different worlds a more upper class lifestyle mixes with a lesser class lifestyle. Each episode has new twists and turns, keeping you hooked every week. With the show being a crime drama show, a little warning there are one or two violent/gory scenes, especially one scene in-particular this season involving one of my favourite characters.

6. grey's anatomy and scandal (tgit shows)
Next is two shows that if you have never seen before i highly recommend you binge-watch them both, Grey's Anatomy is about to start it's fourteenth season at the end of next month yet it is a show that has yet to get boring or same-y each week, it is a show that will make you feel all the feels each week. Scandal which is going to be starting it's seventh and final season in a couple of months, but definitely one not to miss out on especially if you are a fan of shows such as house of cards and designated survivor (similar genre). I was five seasons late to the Scandal party and it ended up being a show i binge watched hard, which i am not ashamed to admit.  

7. bachelor in paradise and the bachelor au

Finally a type of reality tv that is my total guilty pleasure, in the form of The Bachelor and not just the regular Bachelor, i am talking The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, The Bachelor AU, NZ all of them i just can't get enough and i am not even ashamed to admit it. I love everything about it, from the drama between the either guys or girls in the mansion, the cute guy/s and the kind of comedy element it has to it. I love to play a guessing game with who is going to get a rose or not, you can usually guess easily but sometimes it takes you by surprise.
