NCIS: Los Angeles (Drama)
NCIS: Los Angeles is a drama about the high-stakes world of a division of NCIS that is charged with apprehending dangerous and elusive criminals who pose a threat to the nation’s security. By assuming false identities and utilising the most advanced technology, this tight-knit unit of highly trained agents goes deep undercover, putting their lives on the line in the field to bring down their targets and relying on each other to do what is necessary to protect national interests.

The Good Wife
The Good Wife is a drama starring Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winner Julianna Margulies as a wife and mother who boldly assumes full responsibility for her family and re-enters the workforce after her husband’s sex and political corruption scandal lands him in jail. Pushing aside the betrayal and public humiliation caused by her husband Peter, Alicia Florrick starts over by pursuing her original career as a defense attorney as she strives to provide a stable home for her children.

Hawaii Five-0
Hawaii Five-0 is a contemporary take on the classic series about a new elite task force whose mission is to wipe out the crime that washes up on the Islands’ sundrenched beaches. Steve McGarrett, a decorated Naval officer, is persuaded by Hawaii’s Governor to head up a new team: his rules, her backing, no red tape and full blanket authority to hunt down the biggest “game” in town. The brash unit may spar and jest among themselves but they are determined to eliminate the seedy elements from the 50th state.
