It started off promising but went downhill about halfway through the series so cancellation was inevitable (IMO). :shifty:

Orphan Black is a standout show, best thing I've seen this year, it could easily be watched in one sitting like 24 and make sense too like that. OMG - the moment I realised that not only can the lead imitate others, but bad beth can imitate good beth too! Moments of tv that make you grin.

tell you what, they are stuffed though if Maslany leaves the show.
I agree, shes a very good actress! Hope there's a next season coming up!

Finished Season 2 of Hell on Wheels.

Someone at work mentioned this and I must admit I was initially sceptical. I'm pleased to say I am enjoying this more than I thought I would. A good mix of characters and stories keep this show intereting. Another AMC success following Breaking Bad.

I guess now I can see what The Blacklist is all about - I hear good things. But being without internet since Friday and only getting it back last night first things first, have to catch up on all my shows before starting a new one.

Oh rats! I didn't know Whitechapel had also been cancelled. :tears:

I guess it's had a decent enough run considering but I do love the actors involved.

I highly recommend it. The Blacklist is one of my favourite new shows this season. o/
