All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

Orphan Black, Season 1 (2013)

Starring: Tatiana Maslany, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Kevin Hanchard, Dylan Bruce, Matt Frewer

Premise:
A woman see's her identical commit suicide by jumping in front of a plane. She assumes the dead woman's identity and finds out she is one of several clones trying to find out answers to who made them all.

My Take:
After hearing so much praise for the series I finally got around to watching the first season. It's great as the concept hooks the viewer from the beginning and each following episode answers questions while posing new ones. It's a great mystery that has begun to unravel. Major props goes out to the lead actress Tatiana Maslany who portrays several clones all with distinct personalities and backgrounds. I am hooked and on board for this mind bending series!

Rating: So Good
