My favourite Dramas

TV Drama’s

My TV Drama’s;
· Dexter
· NCIS
· Eastenders

Dexter
Dexter is an American television drama series that airs on the premium channel Showtime. (UK ITV 1) Set in Miami,
the series centers on Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), a covert serial killer governed by a strict moral code who works for the Miami Metro Police
Department as a blood spatter analyst. This TV drama is typically aimed at older teenagers and most men from the age of 20 onwards.

NCIS
NCIS (promoted as Navy NCIS in season one), aka Navy NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service or NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service,
is a police procedural drama television series revolving around a fictional team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, which conducts
criminal investigations involving the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.

The concept and characters were initially introduced in a two-part episode of the CBS series JAG (JAG episodes 8.20 and 8.21). The show, a spin-off from JAG,
premiered on September 23, 2003 on CBS and, to date, has aired six full seasons, and has gone into syndicated reruns on USA Network, Sleuth, and Ion Television.
As of 2008, Donald Bellisario, who created JAG, as well as the well-known series Magnum, P.I. and Quantum Leap, is co-creator and executive producer of NCIS.
This TV drama would typically be aimed at teenagers and mostly men, perhaps men that are in their late thirties as they may be able to relate to the characters.
Also, people who have a great deal of interest in criminology and forensics.

Eastenders

EastEnders is a long-running, popular and award-winning television soap opera, first broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC One on 19 February 1985.
It currently ranks as one of the most watched shows in the United Kingdom. EastEnders storylines examine the domestic and professional lives of the people
who live and work in the fictional London Borough of Walford in the East End of London. The series primarily centres around the residents of Albert Square,
a Victorian square of terraced houses, and its neighbouring streets, namely Bridge Street, Turpin Road and George Street, and which encompasses a pub,
street market, night club, community centre, cafe and various small businesses, in addition to a park and allotments.
The series was originally screened as two half-hour episodes per week. Today, four episodes are broadcast each week on BBC One (each episode is repeated
on BBC Three at 22:00) and an omnibus edition screens on Sunday afternoons. It is one of the UK's highest-rated programmes, often appearing near or at the top
of the week's BARB ratings. Within eight months of its launch, it reached the number one spot in the ratings, and has remained, almost consistently, among the top-rated
TV programmes in Britain ever since. The average audience share for an episode is currently between 35% and 45%. Created by producer Julia Smith and script editor
Tony Holland, EastEnders has remained a significant programme in terms of the BBC's success and audience share, and also in the history of British television drama,
tackling many controversial and taboo issues previously unseen on mainstream television in the UK. The audience for this show is very varied as the characters range
from young children to OAPS. This means that the interest in the show is very great as the audience can relate to the characters and the story lines put across as the
have controversial issues.
