Orphan Black is a Canadian SCI-FI TV show, created by Graeme Manson & John Fawcett. Tatiana Maslany is the star of the star, she does it with flying colors I might add, so many different characters in one TV show, this must be a record. The show first aired on March 30, 2013 and the final episode aired on August 12, 2017. It ran for five season of each 10 episodes. In April 2022, a spin-off was announced called Orphan Black: Echoes. This new show is expected to first air in 2023 on AMC.
On Rotten Tomatoes the TV show has an average of 93% of positive critics reviews and the audience has almost the same opinion, 92%. It is a stellar cast, not only Tatiana Maslany, who won multiple prizes for her performances on the shows, but also actors like: Jordan Gavaris (Felix), Kevin Hanchard (Art), Maria Doyle Kennedy (Mrs. S), Ari Millen (Mark), Kristian Bruun (Donnie), Michael Mando (Vic)
I really got addicted to the show, however, I haven’t seen it since, so it also might be time for a rewatch, especially with the spin-off is coming up in 2023.
Premise (IMdB): A streetwise hustler is pulled into a compelling conspiracy after witnessing the suicide of a girl who looks just like her.
