TV Series: Orphan Black

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


TV Series: Reign

Reign is a great "Historical" series. It's about Mary - Queen of Scots - and the story starts when she arrives in France with 15 years of age, betrothed to Prince Francis.

It's a 42 minutes Fantasy/Drama that will envolve you with their dressing and sceneries. I love these type of series for the artistic value: the clothes, sceneries and how they use their hair ... What it was like in that time. That, for me, is the best part but this series is also very well written and produced.

I haven't seen all of the first season yet but I hope to reach the end this month =) It's very addicting but at the moment I don't have a lot of time =(

The little history that I know from France and King Francis makes this series even more interesting to watch. From what I remember they will get married and Francis dies very young.

I do not know how much it will be alike to the history books but I'm loving it till now =D

I recommend to all lovers of art and costumes.
