For the second installment of T.V. shows you should watch I'm going for a little known gem and in my opinion a show that should have been more widely watched. Harper's Island.

- No. of Seasons: 1
- Creator: Ari Schlossberg
- Original Network: CBS (U.S.) BBC 3 (U.K.)
Harper's Island was a stand alone mini series of 13 episodes, aired in 2009. It was a horror/mystery thriller. The show takes place on Harper's Island, where resident John Wakefield went on a killing spree and murdered a number of people before supposedly being killed by the island sheriff, Charlie Mills. One of the victims was the sheriff's wife. After her death, Sheriff Mills sent their daughter, Abby, to live with family in LA and there she stayed. After 7 years, Abby is finally returns to the island for her best friend Henry's wedding. The killing starts again and everyone is a suspect. The guests manage to unlock secrets of the island and of Wakefield as the series progresses.
I seem to be the only person I know who has seen this show and I wish more people would give it a try, for anyone who likes a good horror or mystery, or just for something different. Look it up.
