    Mediocre but satisfying conclusion to this grandiose sci-fi. The sestras relationship anchor this otherwise confusing peripheral story's.

    If this was a story told in 2-3 seasons I would give it a 8-9 out of ten. Unfortunately this show falls into the same trap as Lost, X-files, walking dead and 24. The one where they have a great premise and promise lots of intrigue but really fall apart around the 3rd season. One where they waste a lot of time and create a constant flip flop devoid of character motivations. The differenceIf this was a story told in 2-3 seasons I would give it a 8-9 out of ten.

The difference here is that unlike those shows I mentioned, the acting and characters get better and better as the seasons go on in orphan black. That with the added humor is really the only reason I kept watching.… Expand

    The good news is that it can be better understood even by raw rookies. More to the point, it’s worth the effort, because Tatiana Maslany gives one of the finest performances on contemporary television.

    As the story draws toward its end, it reframes its original questions about the power and consequences of creation by adding new wrinkles to ponder that echo current conversations about feminism and a woman’s right to choice. ... The relationships between the various clones and the people around them are what grant Orphan Black a level of humanity other science fiction series lack.

    Orphan Black is as fun and funny as ever. ... While it’s been bittersweet knowing that this is the end of the road for Sarah & co., its strong, individual vision has been a refreshing presence in this crowded TV landscape.
