Déjà vu

Don't we all wish we could change the past?

Every teen wishes they had a special power or at least a Big Secret. Alex has both! The outgoing teen is able to go back into the past and change it at will. It's a unique power she suddenly acquired in a canyoning accident with her pals Greg, Emilie and Clara. And that's being monitored by the slightly mysterious - or just plain screwy? - computer-medical-psychological specialist Dan. Her power lets her change lots of things in life - like going back in time to prevent an accident, to win the lottery or, since Alex really is an otherwise totally normal teen, to keep repeating that one perfect kiss... She gradually realizes, however, that it's not always a good idea to change things, and even the best intentions can lead to undesirable results or at least to unexpected consequences for Alex and her friends. With its dynamic cast, credible storylines and gorgeous scenery - the French Alps and Singapore - this series is a must that you will want to see over and over again - just like a déjà vu!

Republic of Doyle

Trouble is his business and business is good.

Careerwise, it's definitely "like father, like son" in the Doyle clan: both dad Malachy and son Jake once were cops, and now they're a pair of private investigators. Their cases run the gamut from cheating spouses to runaway teens, bank robberies to fatal arson, manslaughter and homicide.

A father-and-son team could spell conflict, but Jake's actually lucky to be around his dad so much, since this level- headed, working-class hero makes sure his brood – especially son Jake – doesn't get out of hand. It's an uphill battle, though, since Jake seems to attract trouble. It usually starts with that extra beer or whisky, leads to heavy flirting with the wrong woman and ends in a brawl with the woman's husband/lover/pimp. Jake's a rogue, no doubt about it, but a lovable one who can make any woman weak in the knees with his heartbreaking sad-puppy look.

Jake's emotional life is like a ping-pong ball bouncing between his ex-wife Nikki, a volatile ER doctor who's as likely to plant a passionate kiss on Jake's lips as to kick him in the balls, and Constable Leslie Bennett, ambitious, sharp, on the rise, and determined to keep Jake out of her business and her life – which she's not too successful at. Also part of the Doyle clan are quick-witted, fast-talking Rose, Malachy's tough-as-nails girlfriend; Malachy's granddaughter Tinny, an impetuous and barely controllable teen; and Des, a charming young misfit who fits right into the Doyle clan.

Set in the Canadian port city of St. John's, Newfoundland, and its spectacularly rugged surroundings, "Republic of Doyle" is a drama series with a cool vibe. Its low-violence but action-packed investigations are complemented by the love affairs, betrayals, reconciliations and family fights among the Doyles themselves. It's a compelling, modern homage to the Magnum and Columbo school of investigation!

Romanzo Criminale

The dark side of the Eternal City

Rome in the late 70s. Capital of a country torn by ruthless left-wing terrorism and rampant corruption. Political murders, spectacular bombings, high-profile kidnappings. Gut-wrenching times in a city that fosters crime and brutality, yet whose underworld is a patchwork of petty gangs and small-time crooks. One man dreams of rising to the top of the pack. With enough money, men and weapons, he will become Rome's King of Crime. "The Lebanese" is what he calls himself, and his ambition is boundless. With his pal Dandi, he and his fierce little gang rob shops and warehouses. When he meets the cool, sharp-minded gang leader "Ice," the hot-headed Lebanese senses that Ice is exactly the man he needs to help him make his dream come true. The two gangs join forces. Their reign of terror can begin! Rome's warlords bow down to the newcomers. All except "Terrible," whom the Lebanese hates with every fiber of his being. But in this line of work, you have to do business with your enemies. And as the Lebanese corners the market for drugs, he makes lots of enemies. He also makes valuable connections among corrupt cops and politicians, and in the Secret Service, which seeks to enlist the gang to destabilize the government and provoke a right-wing coup. But there's one organ of the State that is actively fighting the Lebanese and his gang: the young, idealistic police inspector Nicola Scialoja. He's been after the gang ever since the kidnapping of a wealthy nobleman that ended in a bloody fiasco. To learn more about the gang, he cozies up to call girl Patrizia, a ravishing beauty who's the mistress of the Lebanese's right-hand man Dandi. But the cop falls for her and soon begins to wonder whether he's fighting the gang for the sake of justice - or for his own sake... When Ice falls in love with an innocent girl, he starts to long for a respectable life. But as the brains to the Lebanese's brawn, he's indispensable. While the Lebanese and his gang continue to stir up Rome's underworld, they begin to fall prey to fatal attractions such as women, drugs, drink, gambling, fancy cars, night clubs... And they become more and more entangled with powers that will always be greater than themselves: the Mafia and the State. As paranoia takes hold of the Lebanese, and disagreements can't be resolved without bullets or knives, the fall from grace of Rome's leading gang is only a matter of time. An epic ballad of shattered friendships, boundless criminal energy and unfulfillable dreams of power hurtles towards its harrowing coda...
