Castle, Lost girl and WoEE

Description:
Castle
After a serial killer imitates the plots of his novels, successful mystery novelist Richard "Rick" Castle gets permission from the Mayor of New York City to tag along with an NYPD homicide investigation team for research purposes.

Lost girl
Lost Girl focuses on the gorgeous and charismatic Bo, a supernatural being called a succubus who feeds on the energy of humans, sometimes with fatal results. Refusing to embrace her supernatural clan system and its rigid hierarchy, Bo is a renegade who takes up the fight for the underdog while searching for the truth about her own mysterious origins.

Witches of East End
Centers on the adventures of a mother and her two adult daughters, both of whom unknowingly are their family's next generation of witches, who lead seemingly quiet, uneventful modern day lives in Long Island's secluded seaside town of North Hampton. When one of the daughters becomes engaged to a young, wealthy newcomer, a series of events forces her mother to admit to her daughters they are, in fact, powerful and immortal witches.

Review:
There is always a ton to watch on Mondays. But since I bought Final Fantasy XIV: a realm reborn yesterday I haven't watched much TV the past 2 days. Way to busy raveling myself in the story from the game. If you are a gamer like me, definitely test it out.

But we are not here to talk about games now are we? I just finished watching WoEE and I don't know why but that series always inspires me to write afterwards. My boyfriend had spurred me already couple times today to write further in my blog. But it's difficult to write if you don't have any inspiration. Him as a 3D modeler should understand that I guess =)
But WoEE was again really good. You feel with the characters and you hold your breath when something bad happens. and then the revelation today of whom the shapeshifter is. THAT was shocking. I already had a feeling that that family had something to do with it. But this?
Anyway, I really try my best to stay away from spoilers. Or repeating myself, so I'm going to move on to the next topic. One we haven't had yet so far.

Lost Girl! I started watching Lost Girl 2 years ago after seeing an add on another series I was watching. I got myself the series and I started watching. Lost Girl is one of the few series that had me from the very first episode. I liked the whole Succubus concept. It was new for a change, no vampires or werewolves... Well,... no werewolves, of course you have the fae species wolf, but the series is not about that. That is what I mean.
Bo, a girl running from everyone and everything she knows because she can kill with a kiss. I must say if I had that ability I'd probably wouldn't kiss anyone at all anymore, ever. What is a shame really ;-)
Season 4 started yesterday in America and I just watched it, I was disappointed. The first half hour I was constantly trying to remember if they showed something in the last episode of the previous episode that could explain what was happening right now. But I couldn't.
They started with a whole new storyline without a single leap to it. I find it a bit strange. It's hard to wrap my head around it. and I missed the sex vibe. So hopefully a better episode next week. Because so far it has always been good. Ok, last season had some lesser episodes too, so I really hope they won't slip even further down the slope.
If you like some real fantasy series that is for once not about zombies or vampires, then this is your series. I give this series still an 8.5/10 even though it had a bad season start.

And then last but not least, and then I'm off playing some more FFXIV, Castle. 
I am a huge fan of police and detective series. Not only on TV, but also in books. I have almost the complete series of the Belgian writer Aspe and I have a ton of first edition novels of Agatha Christie! So it's only natural that one day or another I was going to give in to watching Castle. The first years I didn't want too. In the beginning, when I still was capable of going to work I always said: "I have enough series that I follow, you can't follow everything". Turns out, you can ;-) So, like 5 months ago I got my hands on the first 5 seasons of Castle. That meant a couple weeks nothing else then Castle on TV. Even my boyfriend started following. We both got quite attached to the series. I like this concept better then The Mentalist. A crime writer that helps solving crimes and then uses it as inspiration for his next books. That is just genius. 
The casting for that series is perfect. Nathan Fillion (Castle) and Stana Katic (Beckett) have a wonderful dynamic going on and sometimes you can see the fireworks coming out your screen. The stories are always perfect. I have never had that there was a lesser episode.
I can only say good things about Castle really.
And therefor I give it a quotation of 9.5 /10 (It's still not Da Vinci's Demons level)

So if you are looking for a good police series. Don't even doubt. Watch Castle. And if you have already seen it, watch it again. and if you can't get enough of Nathan Fillion, watch Firefly (a series I will discuss in a later blog.

But now my arm is literately hurting from writing so I am off
'till my next blog!!
