WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Based on Stan Lee's answer to the question 'which superpower would you like to have', this show follows Harry Clayton, a copper with London's Murder Investigation Squad and a gambling addict who is given a lucky bracelet by a mysterious woman. The bracelet brings him incredible luck, but at a cost, requiring him to balance one against the other. There are also a number of dangerous people willing to kill to get their hands on it, and given that the only way it comes off is when he dies, he finds himself in serious troubles. The show has a fabulous supporting cast - Harry's partner, Suri, his brother Rich, his boss Alistair and the mysterious Eve to name just a few. The relationships are multi layered, and the scope for fanfic (gen, het and slash) are many and varied. It's a fascinating concept - the supernatural fantasy of the bracelet set in the real world.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): To watch it is easy - it's Sky 1's most successful original drama series to date. You can find it on Sky 1 catch-up, on TV streaming service NOW TV in the UK and Ireland, and on iTunes. The DVD is also widely available. On the internet it has a Twitter account and very little else, including any fiction except for mine.
