Title: Orphan Black
Post by: thalaw2 on April 25, 2013, 01:06:27 PM
I stumbled on this series while bored.  Very good dark humor with a sifi twist.  The English and there humor is good stuff...even when they base it in the US.  Perhaps sarcasm truly is the lowest form of wit. 

I don't know what network this series is on, but it is for adults nad not the kids.

Thanks, CQ.  I came across this series under American TV SiFi drama here in China.  I've only watched the first episode, but that was because I enjoyed it so much that I didn't want to rush through the 4 or 5 episodes that are available.   I'm going to watch more today while marking papers in the office.   :D

I caught a sneak preview of the first episode at The Atlanta Film Festival this year and have been hooked on the show since.  They just aired episode 5 on BBCA tonight.

This show was so good! The main actress was phenomenal and I loved the pacing of the whole season. A surprise favorite, certainly.. can't wait to check out season 2 next year.

I would love to see some behind the scenes on how Tatiana pulls off so many characters.  It really is awesome.  I watch each episode trying to find cracks and I can't...I'm really pulled into the story.  I really hope the keep Mr. M m m m Max Headroom in the cast.  He really ages well.

I'd love to see some more behind the scenes stuff as well. 

Tatiana just won 'Best Actress in a Drama" at the Critics Choice Television Awards.  There will likely be an Emmy nomination in her future.

As for Matt Frewer, aka Mr. M m m m Max Headroom, he'd almost have to be back for a few episodes next season.  There's still more questions to be answered about his character.

Just got into this show, and loved it.  It's not set in the US though - that's Toronto, baby!  Not only is it filmed there, it's actually set there, for once.
