TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

ack-83209 I am out of proper words to really describe Orphan Black. John and Graeme are genius writers! They tied down every loose ends and made a gigantic twisted web of amazing ideas! Like some of you, I clicked on it, while browsing - and it was love at first sight. Addicted since. I like Sci-Fi, but some can be a bit cheesy. Orphan Black was stupendously AWESOME! Would watch all over again, but need to catch up on some sleep! Haha Please guys, do continue the story - even if a few years from now! Thanks.

karajit I had been wanting it to be watched but always I ended up watching other tv series so one day I donno how but I gave it a shot and what can i tell ya I friggin' loved it! After watching two episodes I kinda hooked by it. I couldn't stop watching It.I stopped studying for some days just to watch this masterpiece.This show tells us that two projects i.e. Leda and Custor are the clone making projects which produce girl clones and boy clones respectively.Plot starts with a girl named Sarah Manning saw someone is upset so she went there to console her but she saw her mirror image(Beth Childs) as if they are twins and commits suicide and she took that girls' identity and turned out that the woman who committed suicide was a cop and then turned the story outstandingly.She got to meet Helena,Cosima,Alison,Rachel her clone sisters and Sarah took mission to save her sisters for all the larchs!I must say the actress of Orphan Black Tatiana Maslani who acted as Sarah,Cosima,Helena,Alison,Rachel etc all by her own outstandingly deserves standing ovation! From then she has become my fav actress!! I got goosebumps and cried in joy when she got Emmy and trust me I never wanted anyone getting award before this much! After finishing it I kinda feel sad as I wanted more for all the characters especially Helena..Thank you "Sastras" for this amazing show and thank you BBC America!!

matteo-coppolaneri I loved the show, especially Maslany's acting, but I feel like the writers have lost a huge opportunity here on some ethical and philosophical debate on science, human trials, cloning, etc.These are all topics that of course get thrown in the show, but everything is clearly delineated by an ethical clarity of what's good and what's bad. There's no space for reflection, and even when some arguments leave space for that, the writers make sure to abolish it completely by presenting some psychopathic, mad scientists. For some reason EVERYONE on this organization is completely mad, an assassin, or a cold scientist who does not care for their patients and just wants to get his "science" done for whatever reason. There could have been a massive amount of interesting food for the mind in this show, is cloning right? is it wrong? what is the limit of pursuing scientific and technological advancement? But no, let's have a stereotypical villain organisation made exclusively by corrupt people and manipulating sociopaths who also use deliberate assassins to play out their intentions, so that the audience will clearly see what's good and what's bad.It's almost like they were scared to touch these points, like they used this as the background for a more common story plot. We've got Blade Runner leaving us for 30 years reflecting on what synthetic life is and if "retiring" a clone is something good or bad to do, and here's Orphan Black's writers that know it all already. Really bummed out by this.Anyway apart from this, S1 is great, S2 and S3 get a bit lost in their wandering, S4 is amazing and S5 starts good with this iconic figure of the bicentennial man only to turn it upside down in the space of a couple of hours. DAMN I'M SO FRUSTRATED AT WHAT THIS STORY COULD HAVE BEEN IF TOLD PROPERLY!

dierregi This series solved brilliantly what is probably the most difficult problem of contemporary show-business: finding a politically correct antagonist. The most acceptable options are: the Evil, all-white corporation and the evil Christian radical cult (it must be Christian, because all other religions are off-limits, no matter how crazy, cruel or archaic).Having both Evil corporation and Christian radicals as the enemy Orphan Black gets the gold medal as the most politically correct TV show (although this also proves the schizophrenic attitude of the target audience, probably the same crowd who lighted candles outside Apple shops when Steve Jobs passed…).Back to the show, the anti-heroine is a nasty piece of work called Sarah, a "streetwise" mother "hustler" (mother being the key word), who thinks she is allowed to do anything to "protect" her child - and let's forget she abandoned her child for a year.Sarah discovers she is a clone and also that nature definitely trumps nurture, since all the other clones are also bitches, although each in a different way: Helena is the crazy assassin, Allison the crazy housewife, Cosima the crazy scientist etc.… but all are mean and egotistical.Sarah lives on the run, because Evil, all-white corporation is trying to catch her. Sarah is the only fertile clone, but also a major pain in the a** and a threat to corporate security. Logically, an evil corporation would just get rid of her and study her dead body (and eventually her child), rather than keeping her alive. However, in the show, the preposterous need to keep Sarah alive creates an endless series of cliff-hangers, one more absurd than the other. The last one I watched involved crazy assassin Helena, resurrecting for the umpteenth time and miraculously finding her way to an exclusive condo where Sarah also happened to be and where evil corporate clone bitch Rachel lives (or something along those lines).I honestly don't know how they kept this going for five seasons.
