Orphan Black is a Sci-fy series about cloning, begins with two embryos being split into two before being split again... and again... and again. A simple concept, yet encompasses the theme of the clone drama. It already has two seasons and the third is on it's way.
In Resume: Season one started with our introduction to foul-mouthed, street-tough and punkish Sarah, After a long absence, she returns to reclaim and be reunited with her young daughter, Kira. She witnesses the suicide of police detective Beth, who looked exactly like her so she decides to steal Beth’s identity not knowing she was a cop or that they were clones.
More through the series Sarah discovers where they all came from and who was trying to kill them, finding some other "sister clones" in the process.
The second season is all about a religious cult hell-bent on destroying the clones introducing a number of new enigmatic characters in to the mix.
For the viewers that don't like sci-fy series this is so well done that you can overlook the paranormal elements in the characters and it is written well enough that you aren't just constantly thinking, "She's a clone"; your thinking, "Oh, that's Cosima, who is completely different from Alison," etc. The makers proved in early stages that the series has a lot of substance than you might expect.
The series is fantastic as I Love Sci-fy series so I'm immediately a fan until proved wrong. For me this is a 9.7/10 because it has a bunch of action, the actress is quite good and love their wardrobe =D
The Leftoveres is a kind of Drama, Mystery series. I never had seen a series with this type of story. It is based on a book of the same name by Tom Perrotta and written and executive produced by Damon Lindelof, the premise is that three years prior, an unexplained event happened: two percent of the world’s population just vanished in to thin air!!! No one really knows what happened but they are associating it to a Rapture.
It's a very strange mystery because they don't reveal a lot on the first season so this series has a lot of promise in my opinion but it can also go badly wrong.
It's a kind of series that makes you thing about "if you were in that position...", "what would you do?". Some of the episodes are a little slow but that is normal because there is lots of parts and different peoples story's to tell.
I already have seen all of the first season and I'm excited to see what comes next =) We (me and my boyfriend) saw the first season in one week and a half. That is fast for us ;D the second season is coming next year.
I would give it a 8/10 and my boyfriend says it's a 9/10 =D I would recommend to everyone!!!
Lost Girl is a 60 minute Fantasy/Crime series. This series is idealy made for the loveres of wolfman, vampires and supernatural powers.
It's a kind of darivation from Buffy or Angel but a bit more modern and with more supernatural powers.
This is a story about Bo - a succubus - who feeds off sexual energy to survive. She's alone and doesn't undersand why this is happening but rapidly finds her more people with different abbilities and discoveres this whole different world. She refeuses to embrace their clan system and its rigid hierarchy. Bo is a renegade who takes up the fight for the underdog while searching for the truth about her own mysterious origins.
It has a big amount of Action and Romance scenes which makes it intersting and usualy I like to see more than one or two episodes in one day. I'm always curiouse to see what comes next or how that "mini story" is going to end.
Canadian producer Prodigy Pictures told The Hollywood Reporterthat Lost Girl will wrap internationally after its upcoming season, and Syfy confirmed the fifth season will be the last one stateside.
I would recomend this to all fantasy/action loveres and it's also a girly sereis because of the amount of LOVE =D I give it a 7.7/10 because it keeps me intressed.
Edge of Tomorrow has all that I love in a movie: a bucket full of Action and a load of Sci-fi in the mix. Love time travelling related movies and theories.
Edge of Tomorrow plays out a familiar alien invasion apocalypse drama in a way that, through repetition, allows humanity to learn from its mistakes.
It's a 113 minute movie that was based on a well-regarded novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, the clever script by Christopher McQuarrie, Jez and John-Henry Butterworth not only plays with time and the way technology could be used to upgrade human capabilities, but takes a relatively playful attitude toward the familiar battle tropes.
I do not know if any of you guys saw the movie: Groundhog Day, I loved that movie. Edge of Tomorrow is like Groundhog Day but with Aliens and Pain =D
I give this movie a 10/10 but boyfriend would say it's a 8/10 so opinions my vary weather you like the combo (Action + Sci-fy) or not.
Elementary is a Sherlock series. It's not as good as the series: Sherlock but it's a good Crime series. It's already on a second season and a third is coming =)
It has a lot of neat tricks and tips for you to notice better what surrounds you and also you can "learn" how to read a scene (not really but almost =D).
It is very repetitive like any CSI but it also has a little romance in the mix.
Sherlock is sent to New York by his father after falling out of favour as a consultant for Scotland Yard and also needing a stint in rehab. This Sherlock story has a twist: Watson is Female =D
I'm loving the series but I do think it should have more action so that I would be stuck to the monitor. That's why I'm just giving it a 6.4/10.
For me a series that has a lot of action and makes me want to see 3 or more episodes at once makes the 7 mark, if it doesn't get me stuck to it... sorry but I cant give it more.
Maleficent is another version of The Sleeping Beauty, a more Dark Action version!
This Movie has a duration of 97 minutes and leaves you with all kind of emotions. Of course I had to cry about 5 times in the movie because all animation or animation type movies do that to me =D This one could not be different. It has a lot of Action, Romance/Love and Fantasy like all Disney movies.
Angelina Jolie is my favourite actresses so of course I would see this movie with loving eyes =) But putting that aside, it was a very well made film from the realistic way that Beauty fell and details of here face moving to the details of Maleficent's wings moving. Those type of effects are made by pros. The movie making was a great success and they took the Fantasy world to another level of reality that will be hard to be topped.
The worst part, for me, the fight with the trees that was "a copy" from Lord of the Rings... They could of been a little more original in that scene.
I loved it and do recommend to all ages. I gave it a 9.2/10.
The Last Ship is about a Navy ship that has managed to avoid the worldwide pandemic that killed about 80 percent of the world's population. The crew's task now is to find a cure, stay alive and shield their eyes from shrapnel when things blow up, because lots of things blow up =D
The series consists of about 60 minutes and also has a little Suspense and Drama in the mix but it's mostly and Action series with the well known MC Steamy from Grey's Anatomy =) That is one reason there to watch the series!!!
My boyfriend is loving this series, I have a slightly different opinion: it is a series that is based on it's Action without things blowing up and shooting some targets it would have short bones, but I think it's getting better because not everything is on a ship (later on the season) =) I have seen a bunch of space ship series where all the action and most of the series are on a space ship but I couldn't support more episodes of them on the U.S Navy Ship. I do think that is my Sci-Fi lovin' part.
It already has a second season thought out for 2015.
This is mostly directed to the guys out there, but I would recommend to all Action lovers. I would give it a 6.8/10.
Extant is a futuristic Sci-fi/Thriller about a astronaut which after being in space for about a year, comes home and now is trying to reconnect with her family. She experienced a set of events at space that ultimately change the course of human history.
It has a duration of 45 minutes but it involves you so much that it seems less. It's a very vague series and has a lot that it can work with.
My boyfriend said that it started good and now it's slowing down. My opinion is a bit different because I thing it started captivating us with the alien part and branched out to be a totally different thing. I'm very curious to see more and if it is going to grow in a good direction or not. Most of the series that have a lot of different ways to vary, chose the wrong path... in my opinion.
It's great to have this kind of series out in the Summer because most of the series are "paused" and we have space to see one more =D
I recommend this series to everyone... I already recommended it to some of my close friends =D And they are loving it. I would give it a 9/10.
I love me some robots, always!!!
Witches of East End is based on a best-selling book.
It is mostly a Fantasy series enthralled with romance that involve all the characters... and make them do crazy things for love =)
It's 60 minutes of craziness between Mother and the two Daughters that keep a bunch of secrets between each other, and of course that leads to a web of problematic situations.
This is a lady's series but I do invite guys to see it because of the actresses which are very attractive and good for the eyes =D Of course there are great guys in it too, but we're watching for the romance.
It's not the best witch series out there but I would put it in the top 5. I don't think I'm the only one thinking that because it's already on the second season.
I would give it a 7.7 out of 10 but I love all Fantasy and Syfy series ;)
Under the Dome is a Science Fiction type of series. It has a little bit of Drama/Thriller going on but mostly if you don't like Sci-fy series you wont like this one.
It has a group of very young actors which normally I stray away from because I like good acting (who doesn't) but they are very good.
It's about a invisible and force field that comes upon a village and what the people inside (and outside) do given there state and resources.
The first episodes are good, but not great and then it anchors you in with the cray plot: "everybody has a story" and a pass... It's really great to see how they deal with living in the bubble and what people are capable of doing. And it also has a sci-fy twist and I'm not talking about the Dome =)
I recommend to the Sci-fy lovers!!
