Potentials...

Hi girls,


I hope your study break is going well for you.

Below is a list of shows that I think Cambridge MIGHT consider for the examination.  At the very least, they're good practice.

Remember, just because they may be used does not make them 'wholesome' shows.  All are to be viewed with discretion and discernment, and most definitely with the approval of your parents.


  • House of Cards
  • Mad Men
  • Mercy Street
  • The Get-Down
  • 11.22.63
  • Halt and Catch Fire
  • Narcos
  • Grey's Anatomy

(It also occurred to me that Orange is the New Black may be a candidate, yet I couldn't find a clear 3 minutes - let alone 5! - where they didn't drop the f-bomb.)

I suggest familiarising yourselves with a range of shows that cover all the genres in our course book.  So far Cambridge seems to have focused on period dramas, but this may also indicate they're about to not do that anymore.
