The vampires are ready to take on the world and eliminate the human race. Ultraviolet every Saturday at 10.30 P.M. on AXN charts the exploits of a secret paramilitary unit that must save the world from this vicious vampire conspiracy. Set in the late 21st century, a subculture of humans have been genetically modified by a vampire-like disease, giving them enhanced speed, incredible stamina and acute intelligence. As they are set apart from "normal" and "healthy" humans, the earth is pushed to the brink of worldwide civil war aimed at the destruction of the "diseased" population. In the middle of this crossed-fire is an infected beautiful woman Ultraviolet, who finds herself protecting a nine-year-old boy, marked for death by the government as he is believed to be a threat to humans. Produced with an undercurrent of dark humour, Ultraviolet stars Jack Davenport (The Pirates of the Caribbean) as Detective Michael Colefield, a cop who accidentally stumbles into the world of man-vampires when his partner disappears. Then starts the riveting sci-fi tale that blends reality and fiction with amazing effectiveness. Healing touch Inspired by the popular TV series Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice every Monday at 9 P.M. on Zee Caf`E9 revolves around the life of a brilliant surgeon Dr Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) renowned for her healing touch. The series also unravels the rollercoaster lives of high flying doctors. The recently-divorced Dr Addison, who has reached the top of her profession in Seattle, decides to relocate to Los Angeles to seek bigger challenges. There she meets medical school buddies Naomi Bennet (Audra McDonald), a fertility specialist and Dr Sam (Taye Diggs), who specializes in internal medicine. The two run a super successful medical unit called Oceanside Wellness. She decides to join them. The three make a formidable team and their practice begins thriving like never before. Their private lives, too, get inter-twined with those of their ‘cases’, which at times confront them with ethical questions. An absorbing series that shows the lives of these doctors and their personal hopes, dreams and disappointments. — NF
