2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

mikeburdick There are a handful of great suspense series, like "Narcos," great sci-fi series, like "Black Mirror," and great comedy series, like "Arrested Development," but how many blend them all into one? No spoilers here, because there are a lot of surprises, but suffice it to say, "Orphan Black" has a very unique premise and Tatiana Maslany pulls off a tour-de-force performance that only gets more amazing with each episode. Also, it's fast-paced compared to most shows these days, not one of those you've got to "stick with" to appreciate. It sucks you in from the first scene. So give it a go. It's up there with my favourites.

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.

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!

hendrikdeneyer I started watching this a few days ago as I found the pilot unusual and compelling: a woman witnesses somebody looking exactly like her committing suicide. What could be going on?The woman is Sarah, a questionable character just back in town to see the daughter she abandoned one year previously (and also to sell some dope). Sarah is an orphan who grew up with foster parent Mrs. S and "brother" Felix - the poster boy for stereotyped homosexuality.Suicide girl was Beth, a cop who lived in a fancy apartment, with a fancy boyfriend and lots of money in the bank. Low-life Sarah decides to steal Beth identity and cash to build a new life with her daughter, but soon discovers that Beth's life was more complicated than it looked - perhaps the suicide should have been a hint?Turns out Sarah and Beth are part of a cloning experiment by the Dyad corporation and many other clones are still around in the world, but somebody started killing them off. Allegedly, Dyad has each clone monitored, but here the plot starts derailing.If the clones are monitored, surely lots of monitors are doing an appalling job, starting from Sarah, who's very much a loose cannon. Also the German clone seemed un-monitored, not to mention housewife clone Allison, whose monitor did not notice anything going on and killer clone Helena, free to come and go as she pleases.Helena is a merciless killer but Sarah (and the show producers) want us to believe she can be "redeemed". Helena gets punched, shot and stabbed to death countless times, only to resurrect better than Terminator, and even finding time to maintain her badly dyed hairdo - which is perhaps the biggest mystery of the show, because dying and resurrecting must be very time and energy consuming.By season 2, all the clones are pretty much in the open, the evil corporation identified and also the mysterious association of Christian integralists that's killing clones. Having no more secrets to unravel the show starts cloning itself, with episode after episode of Sarah trying to protect her daughter, going on the run, Helena interfering, getting killed, resurrecting and then starting again. The other clones/main characters get background stories to fill time. Surprisingly, they dragged this for another 3 and a half seasons that I am not going to watch.
