Superlative story telling coupled with superb performances by previously unappreciated talent that tantalizes, surprises, delights and draws the audience into the living nightmare that Sarah and her clone sisters find themselves in. A sci-fi drama that you will leave you begging for more... easy on the eyes with a cerebral complexity that brilliantly mashes up generational genres and influences - a dash of X-Files, a splash of Lost and a modern punk-techno slice of Bourne Identity...Brilliant! So glad I discovered this...a gem of a series! My go-to guilty pleasure after a long day or week at the office...You won't be disappointed until you catch up to the series and are forced to wait for new episodes..can't wait to see where this story goes. Two thumbs up!!

The accuracy and dedication to the clones makes the series more realistic and fascinating. When I think about Orphan Black clones and how beautifully seperate they're personalities are , depicting the several females preferences, strong suits and flaws equally strong. Types vary from soccer mom, con-artist, suicidal cop, scientist, transfestite, air head, CEO, pyschotic motherly assassian. There's nothing better than watching the seasteras together learning about themselves digging for answers.

No hyperbole, one of the best shows you can watch. Perfect storytelling, great mix of comedy, drama and suspense. A smart show, Tatiana is honestly one of the most amazing actors I've ever seen in any medium. One of the most addictive shows ever. Must watch.
