Orphan Black has many things going for it, original premise, a series of fine directors, a steady bunch of writers who haven't veered off their original course. The filming on location gives it a special visual sense. But, most of all it has Tatiana Mazlany. A 28 year old actress who has talent enough for 11 people. She is simply stunningly brilliant. The role calls for her to assume several identities, some all on screen at once. It must be a terribly strenuous undertaking. Honestly, she is so chameleon like, I actually forget it is the same actress. the make-up department is awesome at subtle differences in her characters, but it really all comes down to her talent. A small supporting cast does fine work. and after, let's see, the 14 episodes I have seen, the writers are doing a great job of keeping me interested. So far there are two seasons of 10 shows each. I believe I read where a 3rd season has been put in the works. I was really just blown away in just the pilot episode.

Tatiana Maslany leads a fantastic cast of characters that plummet down the rabbit hole in this fantastic edge-of-your-seat story that unravels quickly as she tries to figure out just why she sees so many other women who look exactly like her. The intensity of the first season doesn't let up as the second season of Orphan Black kicks off with a bang — literally. Fantastic twists and turns keep the story moving and keep you guessing. Who can you trust? Who lives and who dies? There's only one way to find out, and it's worth every moment — just be sure to watch season one first or you'll miss the set-up for the fireworks of season two!

Orphan Black is easily the best TV show on air that isn't called Sons of Anarchy or The Walking Dead. It's best described as a Sci-Fi/Drama about a woman who discovers she's a part of an identical cloning experiment. It features some amazing performances, none more impressive than star Tatiana Maslany who portrays no less than (5) different characters on the show. I took a shot on this show when Best Buy had the Season One DVD on sale & I've been hooked ever since. Give it a try & you will too! The Season Two blu-ray set features tons of behind the scenes, making of, & exclusive content. 5 stars!

This is the best science fiction TV show since re-imagined Battlestar Galactica. While it's very different it's addictive--once you've seen it (please start at the beginning of season 1 so you know what's going on-- it moves fast) you have to see more. Tatiana Maslany is truly an impressive actress. While there are a few plot holes this is the best TV series I've seen in a long time, maybe ever. I have season 1 on regular DVD and the blu-ray version(of season 2) is definitely an improvement though either way it's definitely worth watching.

The writing and acting in this show is top notch! Explaining the clone show seems a little farfetched, but once you begin to watch it, you become obsessed. Tatiana Maslany is a force to be reckoned with! She plays all the clones so effortlessly, you forget you're watching the same person play 9 different characters. The supporting cast is just as incredible. This show will grab your attention and constantly surprised. I've recommended it to many friends who have also become addicted and obsessed. Orphan Black is the best show on TV right now!
