I don’t watch TV so naturally I am series junkie and I have been checking out new (that’s relative) shows to watch and these two have been quite interesting so far.
SALEM
Cast: Ashley Madekwe (Revenge), Janet Montgomery, Shane West (Nikita), Seth Gabel, Iddo Goldberg
Plot: The show centers around the town of Salem, a puritan state that has recently been taken over by witches who are operating on the down low. The local reverend and church then go on a witch hunt, exposing and hanging suspected witches.
There’s also lots of drama and politics that goes on but i won’t spoil it for you. It’s an interesting, period-ish piece that will get you gasping, scared and intrigued. A little heavy in some parts but delightfully so.
Be sure to check it out, if that’s your kind of thing. It’s in its first season and 10 episodes in.
MISTRESSES
Cast: Alyssa Milano (Charmed), Rochelle Aytes (White Chicks), Yunjin Kim, Jess Macallan, Jason George (Eve)
Plot: The series is based on a British version of the same name. It centers around four women (two of whom are sisters), with complex careers and even complex relationships. The series explores their bond, relationship drama, work and career complications and the strength of a sisterhood.
(Random lady on the right is like: “Yeah I’m part of the clique, yeah skinny beeshes” LOL)
It’s a thrilling drama with lots of suspense, romance and all those aww and aah moments. Definitely chick-flicky but interesting. I’m a fan of Alyssa Milano so I loved that she was part of this project. Mistresses premiered last year and it’s now 5 episodes into it’s second season. If you haven’t watched it please do, lucky for you, you wont have to wait on the second season because the end of the first season was such a major cliff hanger.
