Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Excellent sci-fi TV series about human cloning
Orphan Black: Season One is a science fiction television series about human cloning that was originally televised on BBC America. It stars Tatiana Maslany as a young woman who discovers that she is one of several clones. The clones were created by a scientific movement to control the evolution of the species. The movement uses monitors to keep the clones under surveillance. There is a religious group that is assassinating the clones because they believe they are abominations. The clones, all acted by Tatiana Maslany, become aware of each other's existence as the series progresses. The acting is excellent!

Part of TV's new Golden Age
Orphan Black is a very well-done TV program. It is definitely for adults only.
The main actress plays several roles and interacts with her other characters seamlessly. She is a clone and for reasons she is trying to determine somebody is killing off her clones. The storyline carries through to subsequent seasons.
There are a lot of good shows on TV today (2010's). With so much competition from alternate entertainment outlets TV needs to be good to get and keep viewers. Orphan Black certainly gets it right.
The Blu-ray picture and sound are both great.
The BBC has struck GOLD. The series should get the EMMY for Best Television Series and Tatiana Maslany for BEST ACTRESS...PERIOD!
It's like a good book. If you watch the first episode, you HAVE to see what happens next and after the second episode I was HOOKED! Ohhh... I could go on and on, and probably end up sounding like a babbling idiot...suffice to say, if you have not seen the series IMHO this DVD will NOT disappoint.
I took a chance on buying the regular DVD version and was not disappointed with that either. Very good quality recording. Enjoy!
