Top 10: Shows That Should Never Have Been Cancelled

There is nothing I hate more than becoming so emotionally invested in a show and the shows characters when suddenly, the show gets cancelled. Below is a list of my top 10 TV shows that, in my opinion, should NEVER have been cancelled. 

Eye Candy


Don't even get me started on how mad I was that this show ended. One season was not enough, especially with the ending it had. The show follows an internet hacker, Lindy, on her journey to find her sister who was abducted years ago. In the process, she gains herself a stalker/serial killer which leads her to work with the police on various cyber crime cases. Victoria Justice and Casey Jon Deidrick did an AMAZING job acting in this. Their on screen chemistry was flawless as well as a flawless performance from Ryan Cooper. I suspect that the only reason the show ended was the lack of rating that came from being a show on MTV. I don't think anyone expected the show to be as good as it was purely because of the network it was with. Out of everything on this list this was a clear #1 for me. It's never too late to make a comeback... MTV please! Bring back this show!

The Secret Circle

Despite the fact the the show appeared to be merely another supernatural show for teens, it was much more (even in its short airtime). The show followed a group of witches who found the final piece to complete their 'secret circle' when Cassie moves to town. The show proved to have intriguing story lines and loveable characters that I was able to form connections with. One season was definitely NOT enough. Even though it was only one season, I still recommend giving it a watch as it was a thrilling and exciting experience that I loved every minute of. Or maybe I loved it so much because of my love for Phoebe Tonkin... either way, it's a great show and should have had AT LEAST another season.

Stalker


Again, don't get me started on how mad I was about this show ending. The show is about a group of detectives that focus on cases involving stalking. Each and every case is equally as fascinating and disturbing as the last, not to mention one of the best ongoing story lines I have ever seen. I must admit, the show was a little scary but that just added to the appeal. I have no clue as to why this show was cancelled but I know a lot of people would be upset by it. There was so much potential for this show to continue for seasons on end but unfortunately it was cut unreasonably short after the first season. CBS, why did you do this to me?

Book Review: Girl Online On Tour

I was so excited for the novel 'Girl Online On Tour' by Zoe Sugg to come out and I definitely was not disappointed with the result. The first novel was personally inspiring to me and Zoe definitely had big shoes to fill on the second book. Girl Online (the first novel) is a story of a girl called Penny who suffers from anxiety. Penny meets a famous rockstar and goes on Magical Mystery Day adventures while exploring her growing relationship with Noah. Their relationship is very cute and makes me smile from ear to ear. The second novel follows Penny on her journey around Europe with her rockstar boyfriend including all the ups and downs of life on tour. There are new characters, new places and new adventures to be explored! One of the things I love about both books is the travel. They travel to New York (one of my favourite cities) in the first novel and other countries around Europe in the second. Seeing as I have never been to Europe this was particularly exciting for me to read!

If you haven't read the first book I would 100% recommend it! It is an easy read so if you are looking for something to wind down before bed than the Girl Online series will be perfect for you. I would also recommend both books if you are suffering with any form of anxiety. There is so much comfort in these books for people with similar problems to know that you are not the only one. I am so proud of Zoe and all of team internet releasing books. The great thing about Girl Online is it is always able to re-inspire me.  Before reading it I was in somewhat of a slump; completely focused on studying and not feeling the slightest bit creative. Now that my exams are FINALLY over I am able to get this blog post up and hopefully many more in the weeks to come!

Let me know if you have/will read 'Girl Online' and 'Girl Online On Tour' in the comments!
I am also thinking of reviewing more books on my blog. I have become slightly obsessed with reading and buying books over the past two years so I thought it would be lovely to share more wonderful books with you in the future.

Love, Nicole Marie
