Independent Research Analysis - Luther

I stumbled across a different crime drama entirely at around 10 O'clock after the watershed, Season 1, Episode 2. Luther is directed by Brian Kirk and Written by Neil Cross, it first aired on the 11th of May 2010 but was replayed on TV in 2010/2012. This specific episode got around 5.93 million views, Which is outstanding for a second episode of a new crime drama. Replays illustrate the crime drama as a whole as being "worth it", if the series was terrible they wouldn't put it on replay after a year, but if it was good of course they air it so that the audience can relive the excitement they had a year ago or new views could begin watching.

Luther has to stay ahead of a killer who is trained in using sniper weapons and has been murdering police officers. Luther struggles to discover the shooter's true motivation, which is tied to his war veteran father. This episode was rated 8.6/10 with over 7022 votes which is astonishing amount of votes, especially to "NCIS". These episodes of Luther run for about 1 hour which is a very long time but due to the intense,action and creepy scenes the audience are engaged and couldn't care less about how long it is as they are so interested in watching the rest of Luther.

My thoughts of this episode overall was very high, I enjoyed the whole as it was very jaw dropping as the audience didn't know what to expect next, the episode was very sped up whilst it was in intense moments which gave the episode that extra effect which had the audience really concentrate, which of course then led to the audience engaging with the episode.I really enjoyed the victims roll in this episode as he had a very interesting and unique background story which we then began to feel sorry for him, even though he killed 5+ police men. Last Words "Brilliant, I will be watching Luther again in the future."

Independent Research Analysis - NCIS - Naval Criminal Investigative Service

Whilst i was browsing the Television guide, I came across NCIS Season 1 Episode 4 or simply known as "The Immortals" episode. This program is usually aired on Broadcast "CBS" in American and is only on after the watershed. This episode broadcasted in 14 October, 2003 but I watched it as a replay in 2012, this demonstrates how the show is watched any day and any time due to its interesting and fascinating content.
The NCIS team investigates world of online gaming after a reconstruction of a video game stunt gone bad, kills a sailor. This episode was rated 7.4/10 from 166 people on IMBD (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0658030/). The episode ran for 42 minutes which is a good time to keep an episode as if the episode is too long the audience feel that it's dragging and same vies versa but instead of dragging it's annoying as they are really getting into the episode and then 20 minutes in it finished which aggravates the viewers.

My thoughts of this episode as a whole was interesting and very in-depth and gives an incite to the gaming world and what it could do to you both bad and worst. The victim in this episode was very out of past compared to the rest of the army which meant the team had to identity the online video game then tie it with the fictional character to reality.
