Oh wow. Orphan Black. Wow. Just...wow.

If you haven't watched it put it on your "to watch" list - and put it at the top. Even if ONLY to see some of the best acting around. Of course there are many more reasons (intriguing story, tight scripting, amazing female character/s), but the performance(s) by the lead actress is just so stunning - you gotta see it (er...them) to believe it.

Only 10 eps in the first season (damnit because I wanted more!).

Ack! I need something else to watch now.

Just watched the 8th episode last night! Balancing between wanting to make it last and wanting to know what happens next, omg.

Tatiana Maslany is just shockingly good. Her accents, her body language, all of it. I totally forget that they're not separate actors.

The plot borders on ridiculous cheese sometimes, but everything is so fast-paced and exciting, and the character work is so good, there's no time to worry about it. The only one I really don't like is the guy who plays Paul - he seems so flat and dull in comparison.

Such a fun show, though. Love it!

Oh I was exactly the same! Watched up to S7 and then tried to wait and let it last. Then watched ep 8, then 9 and then just had watch 10! 3 in a row...dammit.

Yeah - it does seem a bit ridiculous at times (especially what she seems to get away with) but then it's pacey enough to let that stuff wash over you.

And yeah, Paul is rather dull. I keep thinking there's more to him (or more of him?) so I'll be interested to see if they do something more interesting next season. Though I think he's primarily there as a love interest to Sarah maybe.
