Orphan Black


I was recommended this TV series by two of my Netflix friends- they said I'd love it... And I did. The concept is great. It's something a little bit different to the dramas I've been watching, there were a few plot holes and really corny moments but at the end of season 2 I can safely say both Adam & I watched it and both enjoyed it!

The story follows Sarah a cool punk chick with a drug dealing boyfriend. She isn't enjoying her life and is sitting at a train station contemplating her options when all of a sudden appears a girl that looks exactly like her and the lookalike steps straight in front of the on coming train. In a split second decision Sarah picks up the dead girls bag and decides to take on her identity. She becomes Beth Childs a cop who has discovered she is a clone & has been in contact with 9 others that are also clones. As the series unfolds it's reveled that the illegal experiment is being conducted by a group of scientists.

The most fascinating part of the series for me is that the same actress plays all the "clone" parts she does such a good job and I find myself fascinated that she's the same person.

Look it's not the most amazing series or anything but it's worth a watch. I give it a 7 out of 10. I'm at the end of series 2!

Game of Thrones


The most downloaded show in Australia... I am against illegal downloading especially of movies but as for tv shows, I am a little more lenient. I justify it because they get paid by the network up front for the entire series so nobody misses out. Anyway all the talk of game of thrones had me interested so my husband & I started watching the series together at the start of the year. Slowly & surely we too became addicted and this week watched the final episode bringing us up to date with the rest of the world and meaning we will now have to wait a whole year to see the next instalment (unless curiosity gets the better of me and I start reading the books). Thinking back over the series thus far I wanted to provide my top 5 jaw dropping, heart clenching moments:

1. The Death of Ned Stark

The thing about Ned Stark's death was that it was the first main character to die and you just didn't expect it. Not to mention the pain of watching his daughters watch him be killed.

2. The Red Wedding

The red wedding was another of those OMGee moments, it made me feel sick to my stomach but also feel lost & empty.

3. The Death of the King

I think this was a moment of rejoicing for most people, I don't know anyone that liked Joffrey.

 4. The Mother of Dragons

Not much not to love about the mother of dragons - she is by far my favourite character.

5. The Crushing of the Skull


It was just yucky
