The Flash is an upcoming superhero fiction/action television series developed by writers and executive producers Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, and Geoff Johns. The series will be aired October 7 on the CW. The show is a spin off to Arrow, which will share the same universe. It is centered on the popular DC Comic character Barry Allen/ The Flash, who witnessed his mother murder and his father being wrongly accused. Upon a mission to uncover the truth about the murder of his mother, Allen gets struck by lighting and enters a coma. After waking up, he discovers that he has the ability to move at superhuman speed. With his new ability, he is determined to protect his city and bring justice upon the murder of his mother. Reasons to be excited about The Flash, is that DC Entertainment has had a good track record when it comes to their television series like Arrow and Smallville, and this will be the first time that we get to see a live action adaption of
The Flash. The show has not come yet, but I can tell that it will be better than that Green Lantern film.

Hanna does have one dark secret, however—her estranged daughter, Candace (Tika Sumpter), a manipulative opportunist who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. In a bizarre coincidence, Candace is shocked to find out that her newfound friend Amanda's father is Jim Cryer, the very man who has been paying her for sex and who also employs Candace's mother as his family's maid.

Summer Heights High is an HBO series by Australian writer and actor, Chris Lilley. It's a mockumentary style comedy that revolves around a public school and it definitely delivers laughs.

Kardani, Jasmine (TTh) The Fosters 100
The Fosters is a hit show on ABC Family. It is a compelling, one-hour drama about a multi-ethnic family mix of foster and biological kids being raised by two moms. Stef Foster, a dedicated police officer, and her partner Lena Adams, a school vice principal, have built a close-knit, loving family with Stef's biological son from a previous marriage, Brandon, and their adopted twins, Mariana and Jesus. Their lives are disrupted in unexpected ways when Lena meets Callie, a hardened teen with an abusive past who has spent her life in and out of foster homes. Lena and Stef welcome Callie and her brother, Jude, into their home thinking it's just for a few weeks, until a more permanent placement can be found. But life has something else in store for the Fosters.
The idea for The Fosters was originally conceived by openly gay creators Bradley Bredeweg and Peter Paige who wanted to write a drama that reflected the "modern American family". Peter Paige and Bradley Bredeweg, also serve as executive producers alongside Jennifer Lopez whose production company, Nuyorican Productions, is responsible for putting The Fosters on air.
This show is something to watch because the plot portrays the normal every day issues and events teenagers & families go through, but with a "modern" twist. You can watch the first season of The Fosters on Netflix and then tune in for the second season on the ABC Family channel, Monday nights at 7 pm.

Garcia, Dean (MW) Flashpoint 100
Flashpoint is based on a SRU team (Strategic Response Unit) located in Toronto. High risk is their business and these men and women do it all: rescue hostages, bust gangs, defuse bombs. Talk down suicidal teens. Protect the Pope. They handle state-of-the-art weapons - sniper rifles, flash-bang grenades, tasers. They climb the sides of buildings. See through walls. But they're different from other SWAT teams. Because their arsenal also includes a gift for words. A knowledge of human intuition. An instinct for when it's time to negotiate - and when the 'solution' calls for something more.

Aveja, Efrain (MW) Hello Ladies 100 (58 plan to watch it)
Stephen Merchant, co-executive producer of The Office, brings his newest show to HBO playing an Englishmen trying to find love in Los Angeles. What could go wrong? Well as you watch the show you discover that everything could possibly go wrong for Merchant's character, Stuart Pritchard. Pritchard will do anything and I mean anything to land dates with beautiful women. Pritchard is a geeky, awkward web designer that just can't catch a break, but it's at his own doing. He constantly puts himself in humiliating situations and you would think he learned his lesson to not chase models. Obviously, he doesn't and continues to embarrass himself. If you've ever seen any of Merchant's shows such as The Office, An Idiot Abroad, The Ricky Gervais Show, or Life's Too Short then you'll definitely want to check out Hello Ladies because it's the same sort of concept where you have the protagonist put himself in awkward situations and the only thing you can do is sit and laugh. HBO did not renew the series for a second season, but they did want to air a special to wrap up the series. You can currently watch every episode from the first season on HBO Go.

Neese, Abigail (MW) Firefly 100
Firefly is a science-fiction series about a band of eclectic friends—or, as I like to call them, "renegade space cowboys"—living on a "Firefly-class spaceship" in the year 2517. The series was produced by Joss Whedon and Tim Minear, and is centered around nine individuals who are trekking across space, seeking adventure, and trying to live independently and in peace from a corrupt and callous Alliance government. Joss Whedon described, Firefly as "nine people looking into the blackness of space and seeing nine different things." With its futuristic, western and dystopian vibe, Firefly delivers its viewers with an exciting journey that combines all the elements of a great show (comedy, violence, action, romance, etc…) and is sure to leave the audience demanding more.

McCain, Avery (TTH) Married at First Sight 100
Married at First Sight is a new television reality show on channel fyi,. The concept of this reality show consists of a group of experts thats match up three couples who they believe are perfect for each other. These "soul mates" are matched up based on their careers, values and morals, and intimacy levels. However, there is a catch: these people do not know each other and do not even know what their names are by the time they say "I Do". In this show, they are literally and legally married at first sight; they challenging themselves to go into a commitment blind.
The spouses are strangers and must live together, facing all conflicts that any other married couple would have to go through. The three couples must complete five weeks of being married to each other before they can decide if they want to stay married or get a legal divorce. It's interesting to watch these people slowly fall in love grow a hatred for their spouse.

Roberson, Q'Anteria (TH) Survivors 100
The show I have chosen is titled Survivors. Survivors is a British science fiction television series. The series was produced by BBC and aired on their networks. The show tells of a group of people that have survived a type of flu that is unknown. The flu has
wiped out most of the human population and the resources we need daily. The group of people attempt to survive on their own, with little to no food or water and absolutely no help from authorities. The show premiered in November of 2008 and ended in February
2010. I came across the show on Netflix and quickly watched and finished its 2 seasons. The plot of the show and the struggles that the characters endure remind me very much of The Walking Dead, which is one of my favorite shows, and I believe that is why
I enjoyed it so much. The show starts Julie Graham, Max Beesley, Zoe Tapper, Paterson Joseph and Phillip Rhys.

Reyes, Ayla (TTh) Dead Like Me 100
Dead Like Me was a original showtime series that aired in 2003 to 2004 created by Bryan Fuller.
The gist of the series is about a college drop out (Georgia Lass) that is unhappy in life and unfortunately dies from a toilet seat hitting her head that fell from the MIR space station. She is then asked to join a group of grim reapers who mixes in among the living and takes their souls just before they die. The group of reapers died with with lessons to still be learned and the series go on to show them still running into the same problems and learning from them, just from a different perspective.
Even though the show sounds pretty morbid, it's is a hilarious dark comedy that will guarantee a good laugh and possibly even teach the viewers something they can use in reality.

Lesa, Alyssa (TTH) Gotham 100 (91 will watch)
This fall Fox is airing a new series GOTHAM, it's the name of a fictional city created by DC Entertainment. This new series is about the origin of Batman and his multiple villains. It starts from the very beginning, the infamous murder scene, a young Bruce Wayne and a cop who just wants to help decrease crime. James Gordon is new to town and doesn't have a clue about the corruption or crime in Gotham. After the murder of the Wayne, he promises to catch the person responsible. Throughout the series, we can see how the relationship blossoms between the Wayne and Gordon and we see how corrupt Gotham really is. There will also be appearances in each episode from preeminent villains and unveil who they were before. This is just a random fun fact, the actor playing James Gordon was born and raised in Austin, TX. I don't know about you guys, but I'm proud of being where I'm from. If you can't tell by now I'm from Texas, so besides my love for DC Universe, I
really want to watch it because Ben McKenzie is representing Texas.
You can check out the trailer for the series using this link.

Reyes, Juan Xavier (MW) Penny Dreadful 100
Penny Dreadful is a British-American TV series which is Showtime programming on cable.
To kind of summarize the show it is about a Man Named Sir Malcolm who's daughter(Mina) is abducted by nocturnal living beings (Vampires) and are planning something close to something of an apocalypse/ end of the world type plot. Malcolm then starts to put together a team of talented/gifted yet horrifying people who can help save his daughter, and also stop what these creatures are essentially plotting. This show is exactly what the name suggest: dreadful, horrifying, and a thriller. It also includes characters from very well known respected works of literature like Victor Frankenstein and his creature, Dorian Grey, Vanhelsing, and even creatures from Dracula.

This is a tv show currently airing on SBS, Seoul Broadcasting System. The first episode aired July 23, 2014, in Korea, but the English subbed version was uploaded to Viki.com a day later. This is how all the other episodes are being uploaded as well.
Viki has several subbing teams that subs various shows in many different languages.
The show is centered around a female psychiatrist, Haesoo, and an successful male author, Jaeyeol. Jaeyeol has a traumatic experience involving his brother at the beginning of the show and has deep rooted mental and emotional issues. The two meet at a tv show
where Jaeyeol is attracted to Haesoo attitude's towards him and decides to move into the apartment where she is living. As the show has progressed, it is shown that Haesoo is attending therapy for an aversion to romance caused by her mother.
Some secondary characters include Kwangwoo, one of Haesoo's roommates that suffers from Tourette's, and Kangwoo, a high school student from an abusive home that looks up to Jaeyeol and aspires to be a writer like him.
One thing that stands out with this show is the way it handles mental health. For example, there a definitions given for each mental disorder as they are presented through each character.
There are is also one large plot twist so far that left many people shocked.
As an American it is also interesting to see a little bit of the culture through the show as well.
All of these things contribute to the appeal of the show and make it very interesting to watch.

Owen, Hannah (MW) South of Nowhere 100
This show premiered on The N, the channel which is now TeenNick. This channel is geared towards a young adult audience. Thriving in drama and scandal, the channel originally created South of Nowhere. It follows the Carlin family. Consisting of a married mother and father, and they're three teenagers, Spencer, Glen and Clay. Each member of the family encounters a social struggle throughout the series. Ranging from drug abuse, racism, adultery, and discovering sexuality. The show captivated young audiences. The main focus on the show lies on the daughter, Spencer, and her relationship with her friend, Ashley, which soon becomes more intimate than we first expected. Though from paper, it may sound like another cheesy teen drama but it hits home. This show has the ability to take audiences through a range of emotions. Laughing through relatable teenage mischief or crying from deathly encounters. I promise you would binge watch all the seasons in one day.
The show ran for three seasons and you can find full episodes on LOGOTV. http://www.logotv.com/shows/south_of_nowhere/series.jhtml OR

Gray, Jordan (MW) The Leftovers 100 (28 will watch)
The HBO program called "The Leftovers" is a new program in its first season, and certainly worth the experience. I say experience because it's unlike any other show I've seen and has already sent me on quite the emotional roller coaster!
The premise is that humankind experiences a controversial tragedy; two percent of the entire world's population vanishes, with no warning or explanation. The show follows the police chief of Mapleton, NY and various other characters in the town, documenting how they cope, react, and address the "departures". It's a wildly unique piece of social commentary that raises a series of questions, human interactions, and socioeconomic upheaval. Chalked full of fascinating character development and cliff-hanging plot twists, the Leftovers is certainly worth a watch!
Here is a trailer for the first season:
