Orphan Black

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

A dude I know suggested this show, so I gave S01E01 a watch over lunch.

I am only on episode in, but it seems that a girl accidentally found a clone of herself, and stepped into her life, and wackiness is ensuing.

The show is free with Amazon Prime (and not netflix). I don't know what network airs this show... I had assumed just another TNT show or something, but then all of a sudden BAM boobs and butt. So I don't know. Could be BBC. Peeps be all english accenty.

Anyway, I will be catching episode 2 just to see where this goes.

Pretty sure that was BBC. Lesa tried it but couldn't get into it.

Here's a screenshot from the show. I'll just link it to keep the thread worksafe.

Finished season 1.... it was ok. Not the best show ever, but never felt like a grind. The actress was good playing all those different characters, and some of them even had to pretend to be a different one from time to time. She was good.

Season 2 just ended. I am very impressed by the actress playing 5 people with distinct personalities... and it is especially fun when she plays one of the personalities trying to pass as one of the other personalities. Apparently she has just one her second consecutive "critic's Choice" award for best actress, whatever that means.

But I am on the fence as to whether or not I will continue on with the show. Just like with Burn Notice, she is fighting against a big entity and every season she finally gets to the bottom of it only to find out there was some deeper, more hidden entity running things in the season finale. This will just go on and on until they cancel the show.... I feel like I might as well just wait until the last season and skip all the useless seasons where they just spin their wheels.

I guess I am more of a "destination" kind of guy rather than the "getting there is half the fun."
