New Tv Shows: As if I needed another addiction!

2 new shows, 2 new addictions!

I’ve been to the movies earlier this year to see Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr (my future husband lol). And I really enjoyed it. I am very happy there will be a second movie in 2011…but I found a better Sherlock! (yes it’s possible)  The BBC did it again, they created a show I just love to pieces. Sherlock is a new series set in 2010. Here’s the pitch:

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson's adventures in 21st Century London.  A thrilling, funny, fast-paced contemporary remake of the Arthur Conan Doyle classic

I had my doubts (I always have with adaptations), but I can tell you, it’s brilliant. Sherlock reminds me a bit of Dr House and Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory…for those who don’t know the references, let’s say he is some kind of sociopath. He is absolutely hilarious and crazy. I love the actors playing Sherlock and Dr Holmes.

One of the best things in this series, is that often we can see what Sherlock is thinking or read his texts on the screen. It’s an inside into his head that makes it even more interesting. This season is made of 3 episodes of 90minutes each. And I am very happy to say there will be another season *squeeeeee*

The other show I’m loving is Downton Abbey by iTV.

And here is a feature about the House, where you can see the some of the actors from this amazing cast:

This series is fantastic. Fans of period dramas, will recognize many actors from our favorite TV series. I am utterly addicted to this show. I’m so happy there will be a second season next year. 2 thumbs-up to iTV

I recommend you take a look at this post, it’s full of info about the show: HERE (and here to see all the posts about the show) . BTW this blog, Enchanted Serenity of Period Films   is heaven for period drama lovers.

What do you think? Anything tempting you?  Any idea when we’ll get a new BBC adaptation and what it’ll be about? Since Emma last year, I’ve suffered from serious withdrawal. I need my fix.
