MY WORLD

TV SHOWS

Hi! Welcome to another post about My world. This time I decided to talk about TV shows, so I’m going to talk about 3 of my favourite TV shows.

The first one is PRETTY LITTLE LIARS. The show is about a group of five friends, who are having a sleepover and, in the middle of the night one of them, Alison, a cruel and manipulative girl, disappears. The show actually starts a year after Alison’s disappearance, when they found her dead body. During this year the rest of the group has been separated, but after this the girls get together again to investigate who is the one blackmailing them with things that only Alison knew and who signs every message with –A.

I really like this show because it has a lot of mystery, and I love the way –A blackmails them, in very original ways, especially in the first seasons.

The next show is CASTLE. The main character of the show is Richard Castle, a famous mystery and detective books writer. One day, there is a murder very similar to one of the murders that he wrote on a book, so a police detective, Kate Beckett, searches him to investigate the crime. He helps her to find the killer, and from that point he decides that he wants to help the police to solve every crime. As he is friends with the mayor of the city, he gets the opportunity to go with Beckett everywhere to solve different murders.

What I like about this show is that you can find almost everything in it. There is mystery, because they have to discover who the killer is in different crimes; there is action, because they have to arrest the criminals; there are humour parts, mainly because of Castle’s personality and because of two of the police detectives, Ryan and Espósito; and there is also romance, because of the relationship between Castle and Beckett, which gets more personal in every episode.

The last show is ORPHAN BLACK. The show starts when Sarah, an orphan, sees how a woman exactly like her kills herself jumping under a train. She steals her identity to get the money that she needs, but after this she finds herself involved in lots of problems, such as discovering that there are more women like her, which are all clones. After discovering this, with the help of some of the clones, she tries to investigate where they come from and, at the same time, they try to escape and discover who is trying to eliminate the clones.

For me, the best thing of this show is, certainly, the main actress Tatiana Maslany. As the show is about clones, she has to play a lot of characters which are very different. For example, she has to play the main character, Sarah Manning which is a British woman kind of careless; Alison Hendrix, the typical housewife with two kids; Helena, a Ukrainian crazy woman, etc. And she plays them perfectly, changing the accents to British, to American or to Ukrainian, changing the way of talking or moving, etc. And also, there are some scenes in which the only characters that appear are clones, so she has to record the same scene twice: first playing one of the characters and then playing the other.
