two seasons and stayed current with season three of Orphan Black. It is an interesting production as I believe it to be a joint British, Canadian, and United States show. This is a fun show
that follows a group of clones that are just discovering each other's existence
and are trying to figure out exactly what they are and where they come from.
Tatiana Maslany is the actress that plays multiple roles, sometimes several
characters in a single scene, and she is great. Of course all of the clones are quite divergent. A British Punk, a Russian assassin, an American housewife caught up in scheme after scheme, a hair stylist, a businesswoman, a scientist. You get the picture. This is a well executed,
intriguing show with layer upon layer of conspiracy. I find myself enjoying the plot lines that
revolve around the twisted up day to day mundane lives of the clones more so
than the over arching conspiratorial plot. That is unusual for me. I will continue to watch Orphan Black but overall is doesn't quite live up to the underground cult status hype that it seems to receive.
Good stuff, but not great stuff.
