Before I got married, I need to read novel before I sleep. That's the only way for me to unwind and relax. However it's pretty bad on the eyesight..
And when I got married, it's bit difficult for me to read cause I don't have a bedside lamp. And me, being lazy.. didn't want to get up when I'm all cosy and comfortable on bed.. So i switch to watching HK & US tv drama!
But recently, you see me watching alot more US dramas! So here are some of my favorite!!!
Synopsis:
Dr. Henry Morgan (Ioan Gruffudd) is a New York City medical examiner who studies the dead for criminal cases, and to solve the mystery of his own immortality. Since his first death 200 years ago while working as a doctor in the African slave trade, Morgan disappears almost immediately each time he dies, and returns to life naked in a nearby body of water. Having also stopped aging, Morgan's long life has given him broad knowledge and remarkable observation skills which impress most people he encounters, including NYPD Detective Jo Martinez (Alana de la Garza). Flashbacks depict events from Morgan's life, during which he has fought in wars and been married, dissected, and hanged for heresy; when he has been exposed, Morgan has fled to somewhere else in the world. Only antiquarian Abe (Judd Hirsch), whom Morgan and former wife Abigail found as a newborn in a German concentration camp during World War II, knows that he is immortal. Morgan is stalked by a murderer, "Adam", who has learned his secret, and claims to have had the same "curse" for 2,000 years.

I only get to know about Constantine through the movie that Keanu Reeves stared in.
But this drama is alot more darker and intense. I hope like the other drama, Supernatural, Constantine can last till Season 10!
Synopsis:
From the popular DC comic book series "Hellblazer" comes John Constantine: a demon hunter and dabbling master of the occult who battles the demons and tricksters of Hell with a wicked wit and a dangerously deep understanding of the dark arts. Struggling with his past sins, his soul already damned to Hell for when he did the same to a child, John is pulled back into events of the demonic world after having given up on it. Now, he'll do whatever it takes to guard the innocent from the converging supernatural threats that constantly break through to our world, which occur more and more frequently, due to the "Rising Darkness". Balancing his actions upon the line of good and evil, Constantine uses his skills and a supernatural scry map to journey the nation to send these terrors back to their own world, all for the hope of redeeming his soul from eternal torment.

Synopsis:
After witnessing his mother's strange murder and his father's wrongful conviction for the crime, Barry Allen is taken in by Detective Joe West and his family. Allen becomes a brilliant but socially awkward crime scene investigator for the Central City Police Department. His obsession with his tragic past causes him to become an outcast among his peers; he investigates cold cases,paranormal occurrences, and bleeding-edge scientific advancements that may shed light on his mother's murder. No one believes his description of the crime—that a ball of lightning with the face of a man invaded their home that night—and Allen is fiercely driven to vindicate himself and to clear his father's name. Fourteen years after his mother's death, an advanced particle accelerator malfunctions during its public unveiling, bathing the city center with a previously unknown form of radiation during a severe thunderstorm created by the accelerator. Allen is struck by lightning from the storm and doused with chemicals in his lab. Awakening after a nine-month coma, he discovers he has the ability to move at superhuman speeds. Dr. Harrison Wells, the disgraced designer of the failed particle accelerator, describes Barry's special nature as "metahuman"; Allen soon discovers that he is not the only one who was changed by the radiation. Allen vows to use his gifts to protectCentral City from the escalating violence of metahuman criminals. He is aided by a few close friends and associates who guard his secrets.
I seldom like to watch historical drama.. cause it's too slow and lengthy.. Just not my type..
But Reign, something abit different.
Synopsis:
The highly fictionalized series follows the early exploits of Mary, Queen of Scots during her years living in France. The first season opens in 1557, with Mary living in French court and awaiting her marriage to Prince Francis, to whom she has been engaged since they were six. Mary has to contend with changing politics and power plays, as well as her burgeoning feelings for Francis and the romantic attentions from Francis' bastard half-brother, Bash. Francis' mother, Catherine de' Medici, secretly tries to prevent the marriage following Nostradamus's confidential prediction that the marriage will lead to Francis' death. The series also follows the affairs of Mary's Scottish handmaidens Kenna, Aylee, Lola and Greer, who are searching for husbands of their own at court.
Opening narration for Season 1 (episodes 2-11):
| “ | Since Mary, Queen of Scotland, was a child the English have wanted her country and her crown. She is sent to France to wed its next king, to save herself and her people - a bond that should protect her, but there are forces that conspire, forces of darkness, forces of the heart. Long may she reign. | ” |
The second season opens after the death of King Henry II, and follows the rise of Francis and Mary as King and Queen of France and Scotland. Together they have to balance their marriage with their roles as monarchs, and deal with the rising religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants.
That all for my currently favorite tv serial.. feel that I've sorely neglected my TVB HK drama. But I think with CNY coming, it's a good time for me to slack at home and complete all my dramas!!
Xoxoxo,
