Season three of Hell on wheels has started. I quite like this and I think that under the dome is better than what the pilot was. Although I can see it becoming boring before the end.

Right at the end of season two of Continium as well. After looking a bit dodgy after first couple of episodes of season one , I really got into this Canadian scfi series.

I'm really into the Bridge. I think it's sense of place and the atmosphere it generates is fantastic. The serial killer story is almost filler when you it's put into the wider context of the characters and setting. I've also been doing Steven Linder impressions all week.

Have you seen the Danish/Swedish original? A million miles better than anything thats tried to copy it.

Hell of Wheels is pretty boss but ain't seen the start of season three yet. Proper enjoyed the first season of Continuum but not got close to starting the second one yet, sadly. The lead is boss in that as well!

If you enjoyed the first series of continuum mate then I strongly suggest watching the second series as it takes it up a notch.

Rectify is about a fella who has been released from Prison after having his murder sentence pardoned due to DNA evidence and he goes back to his home town where most still believe he is guilty. The person he allegedly murdered was his girlfriend.

I actually downloaded the first episode after watching the trailer. The brunette convinced me to give it a go. She plays Scottie in Suits, and I fancy her pants and what's inside them. I streamed it to my bedroom, but fell asleep 2/3s the way through. Looked a'right though.

Knew I'd seen her before but couldnt remember exactly where.

Im not sure if the lead role is played by a Brit,but i could be thinking of somebody else and be massively incorrect.

What are they about lads?

 

Orphan Black is a Canadian production, so I had a good look at it when it aired over here. It's a contemporary sci-fi/mystery sort of thing. A woman witnesses the death of a woman physically identical to her, and tries to assume her identity to clean her out before her death is discovered. She starts meeting other copies of herself with separate lives, and it goes off into this whole human cloning/genetic experiment angle. Worth a watch if you're into that sort of thing, I thought it was put together really well on the whole. A second series has been commissioned to air next year.

 

An actress named Tatiana Maslany has the lead, and in the first season she played ten different versions of herself, which was an interesting hook. Challenging, but she carried it well.
