This was going to be one of those posts where I show you the preview for the show but The CW makes it impossible to embed files so I’m just going to have to give you a link.  Sorry.  I really, really tried.

The Secret Circle description from The CW:  Cassie Blake was a happy, normal teenage girl – until her mother Amelia dies in what appears to be a tragic accidental fire. Orphaned and deeply saddened, Cassie moves in with her warm and loving grandmother Jane in the beautiful small town of Chance Harbor, Washington – the town her mother left so many years before – where the residents seem to know more about Cassie than she does about herself. As Cassie gets to know her high school classmates, including sweet-natured Diana and her handsome boyfriend Adam, brooding loner Nick, mean-girl Faye and her sidekick Melissa, strange and frightening things begin to happen. When her new friends explain that they are all descended from powerful witches, and they’ve been waiting for Cassie to join them and complete a new generation of the Secret Circle, Cassie refuses to believe them – until Adam shows her how to unlock her incredible magical powers. But it’s not until Cassie discovers a message from her mother in an old leather-bound book of spells hidden in her mother’s childhood bedroom, that she understands her true and dangerous destiny. What Cassie and the others don’t yet know is that darker powers are at play, powers that might be linked to the adults in the town, including Diana’s father and Faye’s mother – and that Cassie’s mother’s death might not have been an accident.

Of course I’m going to look into this show. It’s about witches. I will definitely be giving The Secret Circle a once over in the Fall. I have very low hopes for it though. I know I’m a big ‘ol fuddy duddy but I really don’t like the way The CW portrays teen life. So much sex and drinking and violence. I’m OK with those things for grown adults but it really rubs me wrong when it’s teenagers doing all that crap. I used to love The Vampire Diaries and then I just got frustrated with how apathetic the adults were with what was going on in the lives of their kids. Well, really niece and nephew. I mean really, sleep overs with boyfriends? Anyway, I digress. I will be checking this show out and I am hoping to like it. I absolutely loved Life Unexpected. If this is more like that I will be happy. (What I’m looking for is caring adults.)

Brittany Robertson who played Lux in Life Unexpected looks like the lead here and she was charming and wonderful in LU so I expect great things from her here.
