BBC America has given viewers a New Year's gift. All five seasons of Orphan Black are available for bingeing On Demand.
A number of clones have been created for a mysterious purpose. OB is about how a group of these clones unravels the mystery.
OB is a gem. In turn, the story is funny. quirky, zany, suspenseful, twisty, tragic, dramatic and always highly entertaining. There are far too many memorable characters and memorable moments to recount here. The plot becomes a bit unmoored at certain points but that is merely a quibble.
The outstanding cast is led by Tatiana Maslany who gives an absolutely amazing, Emmy-winning performance. She plays more than a half-dozen clone "sestras" who are physically identical but have distinct personalities. Her performance alone makes OB worth the watch but the series is far more than that. Make a New Year's resolution to watch at least the first two episodes of season one. If you do, you might become just as hooked as MP did.
