nzgirl Picks: Hottest TV Shows Right Now

Gossip Girls TV 2, Friday nights
Welcome to the fast paced and two faced world of Manhattan’s Upper East Side, through the eyes of some very swanky prep school teens with too much time, money and technology at their finger tips. And you know what that means – scandal! Which is why they rely on the all-knowing, however anonymous Gossip Girl to find out who’s doing what, when and where (and with who!).

We love the quirky, delightful and hilarious Jacquie Brown, so we were always going to fall head over heels for her new satirical comedy in which she plays an insecure, status obsessed version of herself. As a light relief reporter on a hard hitting current affairs show, each week Jaquie tries different ways to raise her public profile and stay one step ahead of new reporter and rival, Serita Singh (the gorgeous Madeline Sami).

If you’re after a drama with a difference – this is it. Focussing on the lives of four women and one man who are brought together by their common bond – they all have enlisted spouses. It’s a heartfelt peek into a world that most of us can’t even imagine. There’s love, heartache and dramas aplenty.

Funny man (and fabulous special gravy maker) Dai Henwood gets involved and tears up our telly screens every Monday! This hilarious show sees him rolling through the outback with his side kick Stretch, visiting random towns and meeting even more random strangers. You won’t believe most of the crazy things he does (and says!) but it’s well worth it for an awesome half hour of non-stop laughs!

We’re now into season four of this ridiculously outrageous show! What’s not to love about the crazy, yet oh so adorable West family?! This year it’s all thrills and spills as Cheryl battlers the forces of Wolf to defend her kids and castle.

This is set to become your new reality show fix! Set in Malibu, California, the show focuses on the life of wannabe rapper Shwayze, who is going for his shot at fame. Malibu is generally known for its beautiful beaches and glam celebs, however that’s a life Shwayze doesn’t know too well. He lives in a trailer park, surrounded by multimillion-dollar mansions. Think a step up from 8 Mile and a few steps below the O.C!
