Televisual Treats: Supernatural

Supernatural is my favourite television show of all time (so far!). Season 8 will premiere on October 3rd and I couldn't be more excited! I first caught the show on the second episode of season one as it was airing for the first time in the UK back in 2006 and it made my first real relationship break-up remarkably easy ;) Who needed a rubbish boyfriend who played Playstation all the time when I could spend an hour watching two incredibly hot guys fighting spooky stuff each week?! Not me!

The show revolves around two brothers who spend their lives on the road hunting all the things your parents told you never existed. You know, ghosts, demons, vampires, werewolves, wendigos, witches, evil clowns, etc etc. That's right people, these creatures are real! They start out searching for their father who went missing on a hunt and seven seasons later they're still out saving the world. The stories have evolved from their 'monster of the week' beginnings into something incredible. I really don't want to spoil it for you, you have to find out for yourself ;)

What I love about this series is the mix of horror and comedy. The show is genuinely scary and grossly gory enough to satisfy most horror lovers. But yet it still manages to make me laugh until I cry. The quips and one-liners get me every time. And I have shed many sad tears over the characters too. I can't even tell you how much I love this show!

If you haven't yet seen it, please do watch it and let me know what you think! Watch it from the beginning though, every season is a cracker :)

Televisual Treats: Being Human (British Version)

I've always loved anything supernatural, I like the way it captures my imagination. But even I was uncertain about a show which involved a ghost, a werewolf and a vampire inhabiting the same house! What a ridiculous concept! Well, more fool me because I'm now hooked and counting down the days until my Series 3 DVD arrives :) 

Being Human follows the adventures of the housemates doing what they can to forge 'normal' human lives for themselves despite their respective 'afflictions'. Annie, the resident friendly ghost, is attempting to come to terms with her own death whilst living with George, the reluctant werewolf. Oh, and there's also Mitchell. He's a 'vegetarian' vampire trying to keep the rest of his kind secret from the humans, while he himself is doing everything he can to avoid succumbing to a frenzied blood lust. It all makes for a deliciously dark and often gory drama which doesn't take itself too seriously. I cannot recommend it enough! 

Has anyone seen the American version yet? I can't wait to check it out!
