TV Shows I Am Loving 2021
I am so often late to join the bandwagon with TV shows, generally because I don’t experiment with my viewing choices. Having discovered a couple of new favourites, and re-discovered some long running treasures, here’s my round-up of the shows I am loving right now.
Bridgerton
The costumes, the characters, the romance...this is a beautifully shot love story based on Julia Quinn’s books by the same name, set in an idealistic history (note the black upper class members of the ton). I won’t lie, I watch this show to see Regé-Jean Page. Everyone else is a minor consideration, except perhaps Tracy Beaker’s mum…
Gangs of London
Gritty, violent, raw. A very different show set in the dark underbelly of London following various crime families and syndicates operating in the capital. Some might say there’s a grain of truth to it? I found it an enjoyable watch in any case.
NCIS: Season 18
Season 18 of the show is currently airing but honestly, if you haven’t yet discovered NCIS, you absolutely must watch it from the beginning. The characters have developed over time and many have come and gone, yet 18 years after it first aired, it is still going strong. The show has an air of nostalgia for me, as it takes me back to when I was due to start secondary school in 2003 and the trailer for the very first season started airing.
Nancy Drew
One my literary heroines and a childhood favourite come to life. I spent far too much of my time in my school library when I was younger (it was the bookworm life for me!), and believe me when I say I read every single Nancy Drew mystery on offer. Wonderful to see her story televised.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
CAOS is now on its fourth season I believe, but as so many others who loved the dark side of the new Sabrina, I loved the previous seasons and they’re only getting better. Steeped in the occult and the supernatural, this is not for the fainthearted. The creepy factor is real with this one.
Aurora Teagarden Mysteries
Cozy mysteries at their best. Hallmark has a tendency to do certain types of shows very well and wonderfully cozy murder mysteries, set in beautiful little townships in middle America is one of them. I have mentioned the show several times on this blog but you will be pleased to hear new episodes are being filmed and I for one, will certainly be watching.
