Right Black At Ya
What It Is: If you’ve never heard of this fabulous BBC America series, prepare to enter a time warp where you want to do nothing but watch it. Released in the Spring of 2013, this Canadian-filmed series stars Tatiana Maslaney (a Saskatchewan native) as an orphaned grifter named Sarah Manning that has a chance encounter with someone that looks just like her (and indeed, is played by her) that completely turns her life upside down as she unveils a clone conspiracy. Over ten action-packed episodes, Maslaney plays six different characters to dazzling effect; mastering mannerisms, accents and personality quirks to an astounding level. Be sure to catch up before the hype gets to a boiling point this spring with the arrival of the second season.
Who It’s For: Anyone that loves a good sci-fi thriller show (think: Lost, Dr. Who, Firefly, etc. – but slightly more grounded in reality). Anyone that wants to stay on top of the hype (Tatiana Maslaney scored the Critics Choice Award last season and is due for more accolades). Anyone that loves to binge watch TV programs (just try and pace yourself – there’s only 10 here!)
What It Costs: $39.99 for a two-disc Blu-Ray set and $26.99 on DVD.
Where It’s At: HMV

I’ve never heard of this show but it sounds interesting so I’m going to check it out.
I don’t particularly like sci-fi, but love Tatiana Maslany in Orphan Black! She is an amazingly versatile performer, and a proud ( and humble ) Canadian. She was nominated for a Golden a Globe for Orphan Black. Can’t wait for new episodes in the spring!
I’ve never heard of or seen this show but you have definitely piqued my interest . I’m going to check this out for sure.
No I haven’t heard of this show. Looks a bit complicated to me and I don’t know if I would want to follow 6 characters. Sounds like it’s well written.
I hadn’t watched the original airings, but watched one episode on one of Space’s catch-up marathons. And now I’m hooked :0
No, I hadn’t heard of this show. I’m not sure I’d be interested in it – I’m not a huge fan of thrillers.
I have not heard of this show before. I am interested in giving this show a shot because it is so neat with the actress acting as 6 different characters!
I watched a couple of episodes this summer and the show is really good. I would love to watch the rest of the season.
Nope, never heard of it before & don’t think it’s my kind of show. Thanks for the info though.
