My Top Ten Favorite TV Shows


Note: The picture links the the show's page on imdb.com







Sons of Anarchy - I love this show and despite the ending of the previous season which broke my heart, I can't wait for the final season, starting this autumn. #TeamJax

Vikings - A bit too violent and bloody, but still quite good historical series. I don't know that much about the Vikings and I enjoy getting these glimpses into their lives and beliefs. Season 3 is to start next year.

Justified - the story of small-town US marshal Raylan Givens fighting crime





Hell on Wheels - historical drama about the construction of the American railroad. Season 4 is coming this August

Homeland - fast-paced and emotionally intense terrorist/espionage drama. Claire Danes makes a memorable role. Season 4 coming in October

Suits - cute legal drama. After a short break Season 4 just continued in June





White Collar - crime thriller involving dealing with antiques and with Matt Bomer paying one very irresistible conman. There is Season 6 scheduled for this year but no more info.

Downton Abbey - historical drama set in the English countryside for the period around WWI. Season 5 starts in September.

Friends - best comedy series ever :) Ran for 10 seasons and produced so many laughs and memorable quotes. 



ER - my favourite medical series. It ran for 15 seasons and it had some pretty moving episodes that had me crying more than once.

Delirium Trilogy to be Made into TV Series

12:55

Here is the start to the latest section in the Blog - Books into Movies. As I am currently reading Requiem by Lauren Oliver I find it only fitting to share the news of the TV series adaptation of the Delirium Trilogy. The initial idea was for Fox company (which the rights to the books in 2011) to adapt the books into a film series  for the big screen but later the concept was changed to TV series. In January 2013 it was officially announced that the series were given a green light. The show will scripted and produced by Karyn Usher (Prison Break). 

As a big fan of the book series on the one hand and a big of TV series in general, I am very happy about this news. I am really excited about the upcoming show and hope that it will do justice to the complex characters in the novels and the beautiful writing style of Lauren Oliver. Creating a true to the books version both of the Deliria-infected and free Wilds and the Deliria-free and regulated Portland will be quite a challenge. 

You can read Lauren Oliver's really happy reaction to this news on her website.

And finally, meets the actors cast for main characters in the pilot episode:

Emma Roberts as Lena Haloway. It is not exactly how I pictured Lena, still I hope that she will represent faithfully Lena's nature.










Daren Kagasoff - Alex Sheathes. Good choice for the boy with hair the colour of autumn.

Jeanine Mason - Hana Tate













Gregg Sulkin - Julian Fineman. Fits perfectly to my own image of Julian.
