You guys should check out Orphan Black. Genuine sci fi show that started recently on BBC America.

 

edit - given what I know about the show now, I'd suggest just watching it blindly without reading up on it. Even the most basic plot description that you'd read anywhere has spoilers in it.

If you say so. I was looking for a new show anyway. :)

Is it good? Can you compare it with any other show?

I think it's a decent show. The actual premise is not original at all (I still don't think I should spoil it) but the thing I like is that it's still handled deftly. If you've played Deus Ex Human Revolution, you'll find some familiar concepts from the game are present in the show (human augmentation, directed evolution, religion etc.). The show isn't just about entertainment or drama... it actually does deal with science fiction concepts like you find in actual sci fi novels.

 

It's from BBC America so you know the production quality to expect. Maybe I'm overselling it but it's just a 10 episode season (7 episodes have aired so far) and it has been renewed for season 2, so I think it's worth checking out.

 

Here's the synopsis if you want to read it anyway -

Sarah (Tatiana Maslany), a British orphan now living in America, witnesses the suicide of a woman named Beth, who looks exactly like her. Assuming Beth's identity brings Sarah a new apartment, a nice boyfriend, and trouble that includes a deadly conspiracy.

It's not horrible at all..Yes, few episodes were bit meh, but after that it slowly picks up.

+1 to that .....especially the flashbacks of his time on the island are really nice

Yeah that was a nice end to the 1st season....expected it to be a little more exciting but nevertheless it was awesome!

 

On the other hand ...y am I still watching supernatural ...that season finale :suicide:

 

Anyhow can't wait for Monday for another episode of GoT :D

 

Also I wanna watch the mentalist....does it get boring after a few seasons?? Just wanted some opinions of whoever has seen it :)

.......and Zombieland TV show died.

 

'Zombieland' pilot dead at Amazon, fans 'hated it out of existence'

 

 

I'll never understand the vehement hate the pilot received from die-hard Zombieland fans. You guys successfully hated it out of existence.

Anyway, we did our best, and we're very proud of our team.

Same here mate....till season 6 this was my favourite tv series

 

After season 7 it's gone really downhill man....it's not same old Sam and dean ....they keep on bitching about the past and all they do is fight with each other .....and the occasional sense of humour that was there b/w Sam and dean...that's also gone :(

 

Ohh ok ...won't watch mentalist then ....I thought I'll watch it cos it plot seems like a serious version of Psych :P

Castle season finale was good...saw the ending coming a mile away.

 

Arrow on the other hand, was straight up boss. The rooftop fight scene was really well done. Awaiting Season 2
