1. Supernatural
CW Wednesdays at 9pm
Characters:
Angels, demons, broken and damaged humans, mythical monsters
Very family based, many conflicts between family bonds
Narrative:
Two brothers fight various beings in order to save the world and
eachother. This is done with the aid of a fallen angel, their friend and
extended family member.
They explore the concept of the apocalypse, many deaths and
grievances with in their family, loss of loved ones and betrayal.
Even mental health to a smaller extent and occasionally romantic
relationships.
This episode focuses on the angel, Castiel, and the idea of his
supposed betrayal as he tells his story, focusing on his relationship
with his friends/family, the conflict he has and creates with them and
his relationship with one of the brothers, Dean, who tries to stay
faithful as Castiel attempts to resolve it.

2. Mise en scene
Set often in a car in many shots, an important object which is dark
lines, old fashioned and quite loud and masculine. Important to
Dean.
Dress in various layers, khaki, tan and brown colours. Again,
masculine. Not very pristine or posh, much rougher.
A lot set at night, in old and dusty homes.
In areas where experiments or torture occur the room is bright white,
unaturally so.
Extras as supernatural beings that are less important.
Bad guy dresses in black.
Flashbacks- duller than the actual show, grainy, black and white.
He tells his story outside in nature, as an angel something important
to him.
Much happens in abandoned houses with low lighting.
Sound:
Dramatic, dark music in the background. Bass heavy.
The characters listen to a lot of classic rock. Title sequence is glass
shattering. The angel's voice is low, gravely as when he speaks in true
form it can break glass.

3. Icons
Weapons, knives, guns, torture equpment
Old fashioned, classic muscle car
Dark abandoned houses
Industry:
CW, shown on Sky Living in the UK. Many cast videos and the cast
often go to conventions and hold them. DVDs are available and
many online alternatives, twitter accounts.
Audience:
The cast are mostly male, very few female characters stick around or
are even involved, it is a very masculine programme but finds many
women watch it with the glamour cast (unrealistically attractive)
It is a show that has a large fandom of mainly teenage girls which
reside on tumblr and other such blogging website which leads to
fanfictions and art.

4. Elementary
Sky Living Tuesdays at 9
Characters:
Many are law enforcers, it focuses on crime. One is a unoffical law
enforcer, drug addict and other a sober companion.
All very good at what they do.
Narrative:
When Sherlock Holmes' father sends him a sober companion to stop
him from relapsing into drugs.
Watson, who used to be a surgen but messed up, then
accompanies him on perculiar cases where he deduces and solves
the crime with his quirks and intelligence but can not leave her in
case he relapses.

5. Mise en scene
A lot set in an apartment which Holmes and Watson share.
It is usually messy, unclean as he elects to not care about personal
hygine and so leaves it scruffy.
He dresses lazily, simple T-Shirts and jeans which are unprofessional.
Watson instead, she dresses well. Feminine but not sexualised.
The lighting is generally natural, a lot of time also spent in the homes
of victims or family.
Sound:
Gentle, sorrowful music in the background. Regular dialogue but
contrast between the english accent of Sherlock and American
accents that surround him.
Much is spent talking about cases or banter between Holmes and
Watson. Often Watson speaks softly, attempts to comfort.
The title sequence is classy, classical music, almost the sort of music
that would accompany a mouse or something running away, setting
off a chain reaction.

6. Icons
A lot is done on mobile phones, also coats are often worn which can
act as a way to identify characters.
Cabs are also something often seen.
Industry:
CBS, but shown on Sky Living in the UK.
It is shown most often in the evenings at 9, prime time.
It is available to watch online on channel things such as Iplayers but
not as multiplatform.
Audience:
I believe it is probably for older, adults. It does not hold as much to
fandoms as some other shows that may be considered similar such
as BBC Sherlock.
I belive it may be mostly male but the involvement of a main
character beign a woman may make it appeal to women more too.
Many were put off of the show due to the female enterpriation of
Watson and similarities to BBC Sherlock so may see it negitively.
