lost in the series

Now the summer is over us and for most people that means not spending as much time in front of the screen as before. In my case it also means that BirthE chooses to turn off a little more often because of the heat... though it hasn't been to big a bother since the weather has been great and a bunch of my friends really want me to be social with them :)

When it comes to movies I generally don't see as many in the summer. Not just because i'm hardly home (yes I live my social life mostly doing the summer) but also because having to sit still for like 1½-3 hours and enjoy the movie just seems impossible... and you just know that the cord is nowhere near long enough for you to go outside and watch the movies. so my solution is SERIES... lots and lots of series. Each episode normally has the neat length of 30-45 minutes which gives you more than enough time to run around doing well stuff without forgetting half the plot in the meantime... oh yeah i have a short-term memory which falls a lot short of awesome.

Anyway series... what to recommend. Well most people are familiar with the lovely Ncis and Bones. Here in DK it is what rule the screen day in and day out... with good reason if you ask me. Anyway if you like these 2 series it is fair to say that you properly will enjoy the series I'm gonna mention below.

Life
I watched Life last summer. Still it is a favorite of mine. In Life we meet Charlie, a red haired dude who is returning top the job at the station after spending time in prison for a crime he did not commit. You follow Charlie in the chase after the person guilty of the crime he served time for all while working the force and showing a really weird relation with his recently gained freedom. It's a funny take on revenge.

The Mentalist
A series I recently finished the last aired episode of. Love this series for Patrick Jane's very special way to act. Jane is a "psychic" who helps the police in various cases against him being involved in catching Red John. He is attached to Agent Lisbon's team and has a way of driving them somewhat insane with his tricks and traps... here especially Lisbon. basically you follow Jane on his quest of revenge.

Veronica Mars
Now this is a more girly and especially youth targeted series. Veronica is in  high school and has a different type of after school activity. Veronica's father used to be the town sheriff but after a huge case involving the murder of Veronica's best friend he was forced to resign and is now working as a private detective instead. Veronica is helping her father with the job and even takes small assignments at school every now and then. I find this series very fresh and different from both the average crime fighting and youth series. there is the thrill of trying to figure out the mysteries and also all the social problems that Veronica is going through (yep girly) with friends or the lack of them, with love, her disappeared mom and of cause the case of Lily's murder.

Castle
Okay admitted I LOVE this series... like love love love love. I keep watching it over and over again. And yes I have been driving my friends and family completely insane talking about it. My fascination with this series starts with the choice of actors, who is doing a splendid job capturing the roles. Honestly the smoking Stana Katic as detective Beckett and the lovely Nathan Fillion as Castle is just awesome. And then we move on to the nice balance between fun and seriousness. It's just perfect and the writers has my deepest respect on this as I know it's a really hard thing to do. On to the show itself. It's about Richard Castle, a crime writer, who with the help of some powerful friends gets to follow detective Beckett around as inspiration for his next novel.

Has plans on posting a video about the series... just need the time and creativity on hold.. and then getting friendly with Youtube.

so this was my recommendations for a murderous summer... have fun :)
