Mijn series

Een lijstje van alle series die ik gekeken heb of nog volg.

Bates Motel

Mijn absolute nummer 1, without a doubt. Ik vind het geweldig hoe Norman geleidelijk aan gekker wordt, en hoe het steeds een beetje meer op Psycho begint te lijken.
And we all know how that ends. Tamtamtaaam.

After the death of her husband, Norma Bates buys a motel in the picturesque coastal town of White Pine Bay, giving herself and teenage son Norman a chance to begin anew. Shy Norman is reluctant at first, but with the help of his mother -- with whom he shares an intensely close relationship -- the boy begins to open up to others and make new friends. Some locals, however, aren't as friendly and welcoming to the Bates, who discover that because White Pine Bay isn't as peaceful as it appears, they are forced to do whatever it takes to survive. The drama series, from executive producers Carlton Cuse ("Lost") and Kerry Ehrin ("Friday Night Lights") and inspired by the seminal 1960 horror film "Psycho," explores the formative years of Norman Bates and how his complicated bond with his mother forged a serial killer.
Dexter

Deze serie ontdekte ik echt veel te laat - de final was al bijna aangebroken. Daarnaast was het ook de eerste serie die ik leuk vond en die me aanmoedigde om er meer te gaan kijken. (super dankbaar)
Hoewel het einde voor mij echt een enorme tegenvaller was heb ik ontzettend van Dexter genoten!

Dexter Morgan is a Miami-based blood splatter expert who doesn't just solve murders; he commits them too. In fact, he's a serial killer -- but he only murders the guilty, so he feels justified with his lifestyle choices. His policewoman sister and his cop co-workers have no idea Dexter lives a double life; however, adoptive father Harry knows his secret, and does, in fact, help Dexter hone his "skills." It's a unique brand of justice for which charming Dexter feels a psychological hunger.
Sherlock

Het enige slechte wat ik over deze serie weet te zeggen is dat hij maar 3 afleveringen per seizoen publiceert. Voor de rest is het echt prachtig. Ik hou van Sherlocks socially awkward, smartass, arrogant, gay-ish, drugaddicted, dramatic diva attitude, en hoe hij beweert sociopaat te zijn maar praktisch BFF is met John. -ze zijn straight. ahum- En zelfs hun aartsrivaal, Moriarity, is fa-bu-lous.

In this contemporary version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's detective stories, Dr. John Watson is a war vet just home from Afghanistan. He meets the brilliant but eccentric Holmes when the latter, who serves as a consultant to Scotland Yard, advertises for a flatmate. Almost as soon as Watson moves into the Baker Street flat, they are embroiled in mysteries, and Sherlock's nemesis, Moriarty, appears to have a hand in the crimes.
Salem

In eerste instantie had ik er geen super hoge verwachtingen van, maar het bleek toch een waardige serie te zijn. Elke aflevering is spannend en de characters zijn stuk voor stuk leuk. Er zitten echt (bijna) geen personages tussen die ik niet uit kan staan. :"D Ook zijn ze niet vies van afscheid nemen van personages.

As the wife of an ailing but very wealthy town selectman, Mary Sibley holds the distinction of being the most powerful sorceress in Salem, Mass. Ruthless yet vulnerable and with many secrets to hide, Mary leans on her ageless accomplice, Tituba, to help advance her agenda. When Mary's long-ago love interest -- Salem native John Alden -- returns from war duty to find the town paralyzed by fear of a witch hunt, her plans take an unexpected turn. Against a backdrop of townspeople pledging to rid Salem of evil by any means necessary, Mary and John are thrust into a world where horror, hysteria and the supernatural reign. Mary must fend off adversaries, old and new, who are vying for her throne. What really fueled the infamous witch trials in 17th-century Massachusetts? "Salem" -- WGN America's first original drama -- dares to uncover the dark, unearthly truth.
American Horror Story

Dit is het eerste en direct mijn favoriete seizoen. Elk seizoen heeft een andere storyline met andere characters, maar met min of meer dezelfde cast. Ik moet het nieuwste seizoen nog kijken maar ik ben er nu al enthousiast over, want Gaga. Yaaass.

"American Horror Story" was created by the co-creators of "Glee," but the shows have little in common besides that. The show revolves around the Harmons, a family of three, who move from Boston to Los Angeles in order to reconcile past anguish. What the Harmons don't know is that the house they've moved into is haunted. But it's not haunted by Casperesque friendly ghosts -- it's haunted by demonic creatures. The creatures have a history of not only spooking the house's residents but also devouring them. After living in this house, family patriarch and psychiatrist, Ben, may need a shrink of his own.
Under The Dome

Deze show heeft bij mij sowieso een streepje voor, aangezien hij gebaseerd is op het magische werk van Stephen King - in mijn ogen één van de beste schrijvers alive. Hoewel hij bekend staat om zijn gevoel voor horror kun je toch aan alles merken dat UTD van hem is. De stijl en regie komen erg overeen met die in zijn andere verfilmingen.

Based on the best-selling Stephen King novel of the same name, "Under the Dome" follows the residents of Chester's Mill, Maine, as they find their small town suddenly cut off from the rest of the world by a transparent dome. While some people start to panic, a small group of citizens -- led by Army veteran Dale Barbara -- tries to maintain some semblance of peace and order, while also attempting to learn the truth about the mysterious barrier, the purpose behind it -- and, most importantly, how to escape it.
Hannibal

This show is cancelled. T_T
However, Hannibal Lecter is baas. Psychiater, werkt samen met de FBI en schotelt ze ondertussen vijf sterrenmaaltijden voor met de missende organen van de slachtoffers die ze onderzoeken. En hij nailed het. Zelfs wetende dat hij mensenvlees serveert zou ik graag eens bij hem aanschuiven. Zijn kookkunsten doen mijn maag elke keer weer in schaamte rommelen.

Gifted criminal profiler Will Graham has a unique way of thinking that allows him to empathize with anyone, including psychopaths. But while helping the FBI pursue a particularly complicated serial killer, he decides he could use some help and enlists the brilliant psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter. The two form a partnership and it seems that there is no villain they can't catch together, but Lecter harbors a dark secret. His own brilliant mind has gone to the dark side and he has more in common with the criminals they hunt than Will could possibly imagine.
Resurrection

Dit is de enige serie die ik grotendeels op tv gevolgd heb. Erg interessant en leuk bedacht, hoewel ik moet zeggen dat ik het op gegeven moment wat trager vond worden. Ik heb hem daarom ook even gepauzeerd.

Jacob, an 8-year-old American, wakes up in a rural Chinese province, with no idea how he got there. When Jacob recalls that he is from Arcadia, Mo., an immigration agent takes him home to an elderly couple -- who lost their son Jacob when he drowned more than 30 years ago. Despite their changed appearance, Jacob recognizes his mother and father. As those closest to the family try to unravel the mystery, the boy claiming to be the former Jacob reveals secrets about his death that no one else could know -- secrets that the sheriff's daughter decides to investigate.
Lost

Major tegenvaller met z'n 14 tot 25 afleveringen per seizoen is all I have to say.

The survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 were 1,000 miles off course when they crashed on a lush, mysterious island. Each person possesses a shocking secret, but they've got nothing on the island itself, which harbors a monstrous security system, a series of underground bunkers and a group of violent survivalists hidden in the shadows.
Bones

Leuke serie, alleen jammer dat elke zender een ander seizoen uitzendt. Hoewel elke aflevering een verhaal op zich is zijn er toch persoonlijke ontwikkelingen onder de characters, zoals relaties en doden, die hierdoor geen verrassing meer zijn.

Dr. Temperance Brennan, a forensic anthropologist who works at the Jeffersonian Institution and also writes books, has an impressive ability to read clues from victims' bones. Consequently, law enforcement calls her to assist with investigations when remains are so badly decomposed, burned or destroyed that standard identification methods are useless. Brennan is teamed with Special Agent Seeley Booth, a former Army sniper, who mistrusts science and scientists when it comes to solving crimes but who has developed respect for Brennan, both professionally and personally.
True Detective

Zelf moet ik seizoen twee ook nog kijken, maar seizoen één was geslaagd. Het is geen serie waar ik me de hele dag op verheug omdat het zo spannend is, maar meer een serie die vermakelijk is als ik me verveel. Daarnaast raad ik het sterk af als je probeert te stoppen met roken. (Matthew speelt een huge kettingroker)

The first season, starring Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Michelle Monaghan, Michael Potts, and Tory Kittles, takes place in Louisiana and follows a pair of Louisiana State Police homicide detectives, and their pursuit of a serial killer over a 17-year period. The second season, starring Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Taylor Kitsch, Kelly Reilly, and Vince Vaughn,[1][2] is set in California, and focuses on three detectives from three cooperating police departments and a criminal-turned-businessman as they investigate a series of crimes they believed are linked to the murder of a corrupt politician.
