Which is why it’s so heartbreaking that The Hour was cancelled. by Helen Langdon When you think of werewolves, what comes to mind? Taylor Lautner et al in Twilight? The American teenagers on Teen Wolf? Lon Chaney in black-and-white film The Wolf Man? How about the teenagers from the north-east of England in CBBC’s Wolfblood?

Let me set the scene for you: Orphan Black is the story of Sarah Manning, an orphan, a con artist and a thief to boot, who one evening sees a woman commit suicide by train. Sarah is the only witness and the only one to see that Beth has her face. It makes her pause, just barely before she steals Beth’s identity and as the show progresses, her life. Beth is a cop, she’s successful and she has everything Sarah doesn’t. by Verushka Byrow Forget Johnny Depp, Sleepy Hollow brings Ichabod Crane and the Four Horsemen firmly into our modern world in this tightly written, fast-paced show.
