Shows You Probably Haven't Seen .... But they're really good!

Most of these you can find on amazon or on ebay !

1. Hex....british mini-series (each season is like 8 episodes) only the first season is out on DVD for region one....It's so good. It's about witches/demons/angels..... No one famous is in it but each episode is suspensful and season two completely changes the game and still remains fun!

2. UltraViolet....another British mini-series (6 episodes in all) It stars Jack Davenport and Stephen Moyer(TruBlood) it's about vampires. This lore involves infection and viruses! Starts a little slow as the HERO (Davenport) tries to figure out what is happening.

3. Wolf Lake...From CBS like 6 years ago. It never really had a chance cause of the way the kept moving it around. You can get it (bootleg) on Ebay. It has a lot of famous people in it...Tim Mattheson, Lou Diamond Phillips, Paul Wesley, Sharon Lawrence, Gram Greene, Mia Kurshner. It's about a society of werewolves and the outsider (Phillips) trying to figure it all out!

4. Jekyll .... Okay, another British mini-series (you can buy on Amazon) starring James Nesbitt as a modern day Dr. Jekyll.... Nesbitt is awesome...so good as Jekyll and so so so good as HYDE!

5. Can't decide on my last favorite...I'll update later...any suggestions?

  1. What about "Cracker"? That's one of my all time favorites. Not the United States version, the real one with Robbie Coltrane. The first season is the best.

  3. The United States of Tara. It's so good and I think it didn't do well simply because the premise sounds absurd, but it's good writing and great acting.
