I
have just finished watching 4-parts series of Sherlock. Never did I imagined I
would be interested in this series considering I have never been a fan of
detective, crime, investigative stories.
Upon further pondering, I just made the realisation that I was actually wrong.
I have always been one to watch crime and investigative stories!
I started watching English series seriously only later, starting with Ghost Whisperer. Earlier I did watch a bit of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed but I wasn't the following type. Meaning I would watch at random and will not follow through with the stories and development.
After Ghost Whisperer, there was Supernatural, Harper's Island, Fringe, the lighter Austin and Ally followed by Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Good Witch and just recently Sherlock.
Supernatural. Harper's Island. Fringe. Aren't the stories from these series about crime and investigation? How could I be so blind!
Since we are on this topic, let's revisit what I remember about each series.
GHOST WHISPERER
The series that made my eyes wet after every episode. Followed Season 1 faithfully and lost interest when it went over to Season 2. Phrases that I picked up, "Unfinished Business" and "Into The Light".
Loved the Winchesters' brother and Castiel. Followed the series faithfully all until Season 6 or 7, I really can't remember. Some parts can be scary as we are dealing with hunting demons and monsters.
Dean and Sam remain one of my favourite brothers. I may also have a soft spot for Castiel. And who can ignore the trademark Dean's car which I think is very pretty.
HARPER'S ISLAND
The promotion of this series was very different from the usual and because I needed to know who's the killer, I watched the entire series and even came up with a post specifically for this series: http://diwaniladki.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-thing-in-town-harpers-island.html?m=0

FRINGE
If I recall correctly, a friend/colleague introduced me to this series after learning I like Supernatural. Was apprehensive to start watching it (well what's new?) I got stuck to this series and the absurdity and craziness of it all. Peter and Olivia, one of my favourite on-screen couple.

AUSTIN AND ALLY
This is actually a sitcom from Disney Channel. Watched a few random episodes and I wanted to know more and started digging for old episodes and ended up watching all their new ones too. Very funny, sweet sitcom.Watched all the main characters practically grow up as they move on from one season to another.
CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA
I remember watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch cartoon when I was much younger. I have always loved the cartoon especially Salem so I was expecting something similar when they made it to live action. I might have missed out the words "Chilling Adventures" as this version is a much darker version. Somehow the magical world of Sabrina dragged me to continue watching her and following her adventures to slowly become a witch.
GOOD WITCH
After Sabrina which I watched on Netflix, some suggestions came up and Good Witch was one of it. Still mesmerized with all things magical and potions, I thought hey here's another witch-related drama. But this witch is a different kind of witch. Even after completing all 4 seasons, we are still not informed explicitly if Cassie is really a witch! The show is a feel good drama where all things eventually fall into places later on. Also, there's plenty of good quotes which is often said by Cassie Nightingale herself. Even her name sounds magical!
UMBRELLA ACADEMY
After Good Witch, Netflix suggested this drama series. Still not completely over all things superpowers and magical, I gave it a try. Interesting series. Someone with superpowers does not automatically become a better person. Here we see people with superpowers yet they are very human and tend to make mistakes like everyone else.
SHERLOCK
Now, Sherlock. A friend recommended this series and I honestly took some time before I started on this series. The duration for each episode had already made me not want to watch it. After dragging around, I finally started on Sherlock and now after 4 seasons, I can proudly say that I am Sherlock-ed! I have yet to completely get over the series and is currently still having withdrawal syndrome. I even started to have a liking for Benedict, the actor who's playing Sherlock. See what you made me do Sherlock https://twitter.com/diwaniladki/status/1131932394699624449
