    It’s always interesting--Maslany is particularly transcendent when she acts as one clone disguised as another clone, which occurs again in season 3, and the show even finds a way to introduce waterboarding into its already politically charged narrative. But Orphan Black lost its grip on the story sometime early in season 2, and introducing even more characters has not proven to be a way to reclaim it.

    There are enough converging storylines to keep those who have become invested in the program hooked right up until the end.... From the perspective of someone who never fully bought into the premise, however, the series remains a modest diversion, with curiosity about the current story tempered by the dizzying contortions.

    What was once a unique, feisty, ambitious series has become just another middling show whose creators seem to be in way over their heads.

Tatiana Maslany is her normal brilliant self but Ari Millen who plays the male clones is just terrible. Not since Finn Wittrock's abysmal performance in American Horror Story have we seen such dreadful over-acting.… Full Review »
