Best show i've seen in a long time. Tatiana Maslany is so astounding at playing all the clones that you actually forget that they're all just one actor. Overall i'd give the acting, the script and the cast a solid 10/10. Can't get any better in Clone Club! As Cosima simply states "Welcome to the trip man"

This show is the best I've seen. It deals with everything, from science to relationships to family to individualism. Orphan Black writers are awesome and each episode leaves you wanting to find out more. It teaches you new things and makes you think all the time. Intense, dramatic, humorous, thrilling... This show is for everyone.

This show is great, Tatiana Maslany does so well in acting out so many different characters they genuinely all feel different. Not only this but the story is great, I was hooked within the first few episodes.
