Medieval TV

My favorite TV shows CSI, CSI Miami, CSI NY, Law & Order SVU, Gossip Girl, NCIS LA, Law & Order LA, The Vampire Diaries, and Glee (did I miss anything) have either recently ended or about to end. This means that I need more shows to keep me awake at night (instead of checking out hemo rage reviews!). Hahaha.

I've found two actually, both very interesting to me. First is Camelot. I've been fascinated by Arthurian legends, and have probably read all the famous books (my fave is Mists of Avalon) about it. This latest TV show has a very different twist in it. Actually a lot of twists, rather far from the stories we are (or I am) used to.

Eva Green as Morgana. Joseph Fiennes as Merlin. Need I say more?

Then, on to HBO's Game of Thrones. 

Sean Bean as lead. The plot is not Tolkien-ish, though this is a totally different medieval world. This is based on George R. Martin's "A Song of Fire and Ice" series. I have not read these books nor have heard of them before. But the plot (at least for now) is very interesting. Production value is high. I love it actually. Really good actors too.

Do check out these two new shows and get hooked!
