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!

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!

I Have To Admit I Came Late To Party That Is Orphan Black, But After Catching Up On All Three Seasons, I Have To Say This One Of The Greatest Shows On TV Ever, Fan Of Science Fiction Or Not You Will Enjoy This Show, Also The Acting Done By Tatiana Is Excellent, Not Only Playing Sarah, She Manages To Play A Dozen Clones , All While Giving Them All Each Different Characteristics , Definitely Pick This One Up!

Fantastic acting by Tatiana Maslany. Got turned on to Orphan Black by staff recommendation from local public library. While there are a few plot holes once started too addictive to stop. Season 1 arguably better than season two but both equally compelling. Do see them both and any upcoming seasons too. The DVD version's picture was very good and the Blu-ray offers no signifigant improvement as the only (minor) negative. If you're very sensitive to (non-gratuitous) graphic gore you might not want to see this.
