Gem and Jo Talk TV (Spring 2016)

While we are quite the little busy bees recently, we love to kick back, eat crap and watch some telly. Who doesn't? It's nice to relax every now and then. In fact, we feel like most people don't do it enough. We're always rushing around and looking at our phones. But let's face it, that's life these days. Who are we to try and change it. So lets sit back, eat chocolate and popcorn and watch telly while also tweeting about the tv show and what we're eating.

Here's some of the tv shows we'll be watching in the coming weeks!

We are seriously addicted to this show! The drama, the bitchiness, the crazy outfits! Ugh! We love it! Our friend Megan introduced us to this crazy world and we could not thank her more. If you haven't watch this one and love the likes of the Kardashians and ANTM, you need to get on that. It's good we promise. 

Hawaii Five-0

We'll admit it, the reason we started watching this was for the gorgeous island it's filmed on but then we saw Steve McGarrett's face and we were hooked. In fairness his whole body is to thank for our continued viewing. It's a crime show, but with a few odd twists and turns. Definitely worth the watch.

This one is not for the faint hearted! It's another crime show (we like these alot) but it's set in Sweden. Now, if you're not into subtitles and the odd foreign language thrown in, then you probably won't enjoy this one. But we love that we're learning a little Swedish when we watch this. Educational! An extra to this show? The theme song is brilliant! Definitely watch this one, but it's one of those that needs to be watched from the very start. You definitely won't be able to pick this up along the way. 

Lucky Man

A bit cheesy, but sure who doesn't love a little cheese. It's created by Stan Lee and this is the one for all you Marvel lovers out there! The story revolves around a cop in London who comes across a magic bracelet, sounds a bit crazy, we know but don't let that turn you away. This one has all of the mystery of a crime drama with a little superhero flair thrown in. Also James Nesbitt's accent is just lovely.

There ya have it, the tv shows we'll be indulging in while we wait longingly for the summer!

Until next time,

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

Photo: CBS

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)
