Oh thank you, thank you! ♥ So excited to meet another JP3 fan! I recently revisited JP3 and was completely blown away by the OTPness of Alan/Billy. I did love them when I first saw it decade ago but I didn't know 'fandom' back then, so... I'm pretty inspired at the moment and plan to make more JP3 graphics. :D Glad you liked Primeval ones too!

As to TE - maldeluxx has already kindly answered on my behalf so I'm adding my bit to it. Although the part 'a police officer, DCI Dave Creegan, whose injuries after a shooting leave him with strange abilities to sense criminals' only applies to the original UK series (1997-1999), not to this US remake. It's very short lived series broadcast on USA in 2004, only consists 13 episodes (like Chaos ;_;) so no wonder you never heard of it. ;)

US series synopsis: Detective David Creegan, who after surviving a near-fatal gunshot wound to the head, takes a 12-month psychological leave of absence. He returns to work for the FBI's new Organized and Serial Crime Unit (OSC), a rapid-response, elite crime squad based in San Francisco. His brush with death renders him fearless in his relentless pursuit of justice as he and his partner Susan Branca specialize in solving shocking, high profile crimes. Starring Jeffrey Donovan (Burn Notice), Vera Farmiga (Academy Award nominee for Up in the Air (2009)), Zach Grenier, Brian Markinson, Kevin Durand. Also Bradley Cooper (the Sexiest Man Alive 2011 lol), Peter Wingfield in recurring roles.

Basically it's another crime solving procedural drama, and complete opposite to Chaos. It's dark, depressing, crawling-under-your-skin kind of show; it focuses more on 'why killers did it' and 'who they are' than 'how they did it', tells us what drives them to commit crimes, how agents approach the truth, how those crimes and their job affect their own lives, and Creegan (Donovan)'s struggle to come back to life and himself. But it's VERY good; great writing/visual/acting, fascinating characters and great bunch of actors and guest stars (Sebastian Roché, Callum Keith Rennie, etc). Especially Creegan, it's difficult to define him but he's quite an exceptional character - crazy, funny and unpredictable, the one you don't see often on screen kind. He and Susan Branca (Farmiga) partner up and they share very interesting chemistry/partnership; Branca's not your usual female character on screen either. Vera Farmiga did marvelous job for that.

But what I'm fiercely crazy about this series is Creegan and Mark Rivers (Cooper) dynamic. I started to watch it for Bradley Cooper in the first place and was completely grabbed before he entered the series in EP5, but after that I fell head over heels for Creegan/Rivers - and it's totally unexpected!

You can try watching eps 01-09 here on YouTube if you're interested. And *if* you got more than curious after that, drop me a comment and we could talk about it. ;)

Okay I'll stop here! (for now? *g*) Sorry for the essay, I could go on and on like this for hours talking about TE (or Chaos or any other my current fandoms...) Hope you're not regretting that you asked! lol
