Orphan Black Season 1 There is no denying that the BBC knows how to create excellent television. They have a long track record of fan favorites and their newest is Orphan Black. This action thriller stars newcomer Tatiana Maslany as an orphan, an outsider who can’t seem to catch a break. Then, one day, she witnesses the suicide of a woman who looks exactly like her and her life instantly changes forever.

Sarah (Maslany) hopes that cleaning out the dead woman’s bank account will solve all her problems. Instead, her problems multiply – and so does she. Experience a whole new side of BBC AMERICA with the channel’s original scripted series, Orphan Black, the exciting and ambitious new addition to their Supernatural Saturday programming block. Sarah assumes the dead woman’s identity, her boyfriend and her bank account.

But instead of solving her problems, the street smart chameleon is thrust headlong into a kaleidoscopic mystery. She makes the dizzying discovery that she and the dead woman are clones… but are they the only ones? Sarah quickly finds herself caught in the middle of a deadly conspiracy and must race to find answers about who she is and how many others there are just like her.

The acting is top notch, (even earning Maslany a Golden Globe nomination) and the story is suspenseful and action packed. Once you start with episode one, you will TEAR through the entire first season. Good news is you won’t have to wait long for more Orphan Black. Season 2 is scheduled to begin in April 2014. You can buy season one of Orphan Black HERE.

Hmmm…let’s see, what is awesome about this one…..how about EVERYTHING! Narrated by one of film’s greatest “villains”, Christopher Lee, this one features the spotlight on the importance of the guys from the other side of the tracks, the bad guys.

Preorder Stephen King’s next book, Mr. Mercedes Next year Scribner will be releasing Stephen King’s next book, the 500 page, Mr.Mercedes. Now even though you won’t be able to literally put it under your tree, you can rest easy by placing your preorder for it now along with an exclusive slipcase from the fine folks at Cemetery Dance.

Now…about the book…

In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, hundreds of desperate unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair. Without warning, a lone driver plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing up, and charging again. Eight people are killed; fifteen are wounded. The killer escapes.

In another part of town, months later, a retired cop named Bill Hodges is still haunted by the unsolved crime. When he gets a crazed letter from someone who self-identifies as the “perk” and threatens an even more diabolical attack, Hodges wakes up from his depressed and vacant retirement, hell-bent on preventing another tragedy.

Brady Hartfield lives with his alcoholic mother in the house where he was born. He loved the feel of death under the wheels of the Mercedes, and he wants that rush again.

Only Bill Hodges, with a couple of highly unlikely allies, can apprehend the killer before he strikes again. And they have no time to lose, because Brady’s next mission, if it succeeds, will kill or maim thousands.

Mr. Mercedes is a war between good and evil, from the master of suspense whose insight into the mind of this obsessed, insane killer is chilling and unforgettable.
