Gem and Jo's Summer TV Picks

Everybody loves a little television so today we decided to show you guys our favourite TV shows that we're watching at the moment! Take a look:

Gem's Picks

1. Chasing Life (ABC Family)

This is Gem's favourite new show! Even though the main character, April Carver, has terminal cancer, the show manages to be quite uplifting and focuses on how April can't focus on her illness because of work, family and life in general! There is amazing chemistry between the cast and it seems to be a real hit among the online community. A definite must-watch!
Favourite Character: Beth (April's best friend, also seriously sassy)
Airs: Tuesdays @ 9 pm









2. Finding Carter. (MTV)

This is a brand new show, with only 2 episodes aired so far, however from what we've seen it is gonna be a big hit among teen audiences! It focuses on a young girl who finds out her 'mother' had kidnapped her when she was three, she is then thrown back to her family and expected to be happy, not the case! The main character, Carter, is feisty, mischievous and determined to hurt her biological mother for ruining her life! Having only seen a couple of episodes Gem can't really tell how good this show is but she'll be watching the next episode for sure.
Favourite Character: Carter
Airs:  Tuesdays @ 10pm



3. Rookie Blue (Global TV/ABC)

Gem has watched this show since it started and absolutely loves it! The cast are amazing, the story lines are amazing and this show in general is amazing! It always keeps you on your feet and keeps you guessing! The main character Andy, is forever getting herself in trouble and this latest season (5) is keeping that pattern! The past few episodes have been centered around her attempt to train a rookie officer and the consequences of her actions.
Favourite Character: Gail Peck
Airs: Wednesday @ 10pm




4. Covert Affairs (USA Networks)

Again Gem has watched this one since it began 5 seasons ago! It's all about a spy and her attempts to keep her life in order all while secretly serving her country. Season 4 was all sorts of exciting and season 5 seems to be set up for the same! With even more secrecy and a life threatening health issue, Annie is fighting international crime in some seriously awesome shoes!
Favourite Character: Annie Walker
Airs: Tuesdays @ 10 pm








5. Teen Wolf (MTV)

This is another hit tv show from MTV! Scott McCall and his supernatural buddies are setting out yet again to fight the other worldly creatures that always want to destroy Beacon Hills. At this stage practically everyone in the town knows the guys are wolves, however a new student and a hunter less (RIP Allison, *sob*) this season seems to make this season just as dramatic as the last with some scary, mouthless man/thing thrown in for good measure! This is not for the easily scared though, it can get quite gory!
Favourite Character: Malia (She literally has no clue!)
Airs: Mondays @ 10 pm







Jo's Picks

1. Criminal Minds

This Show has been one of Jo's favourites for years now. Already finished their 9th season and still going strong, this program follows the BAU team in the FBI and their many cases.Each member of the team brings their own personality to the show and makes the audience not only interested in the cases but in the development of the team itself.  This program is
not for the faint of heart however as each episode, although compelling does contain violence in one manner or another.
Favourite Character: Penelope Garcia
                                                                                       Airs: Wednesday @ 9pm

2. Once Upon A Time

Jo has really been loving this show recently. Going into it's fourth season this show tells of fairy tale characters that have been transported into the real world. If you were someone who loved fairy tales as child (like Jo), then you will love this as it gives them a bit of a twist. The show doesn't even leave any fairy tale untouched and has even just cast Georgina Haig to portray Frozen's Elsa in the upcoming season.
Favourite Character: Killian Jones AKA Hook (He just has a swagger about him).
Airs: Sundays @ 8pm







3.  New Girl

This Show has without a doubt been one of Jo's favourites ever since it's first episode. Now getting ready for it's fourth season, this show follows the lives of Jess and her four male roommates. None of the Characters seem to have anything really figured out and that's what makes the show so brilliant. If you need a good laugh this is where you are going to find it. The script is hilarious and each character brings something different to the show.
Favourite Character: Schmit (He has the best one liners)
