Orphan Black

Post by Funkmasterr »

I watched the first season of this on Amazon, and loved it. I grabbed the first couple of episodes from season 2 online because has me hooked. I'm generally not much for British shows, but this show is awesome. The pacing, acting, and story are all very well done, I'd definitely say give it a shot if you have access to Prime video or whatever channel it airs on (BBC, I believe).

As a side note, I've watched quite a few shows on Prime now that aren't available on Netflix. I don't have cable, so for me Prime has proven to be worth the money even ignoring the free shipping. I get the student discount, but I think even at full price I'd feel the same way.

Yeah, I watched the entire first season episodes as they were released last year. It's a solid show. Not sure why I didn't mention it here. Probably because most here don't seem to go beyond Netflix when it comes to checking out recommended shows.

I downloaded the shows from the usual sources. I've grabbed the first three from the second season but haven't watched them yet.

The leading lady deserved the best actress Emmy for her performance last year but was robbed. There's a couple solid supporting actors in the show as well. Her gay "brother" does a good job.

So... I'm now sitting on 3 seasons of this and haven't watched an episode. How has it progressed since the first season? Better? Worse? Worth watching? Not worth watching?

Still loving it. I have seasons 1 and 2 on bluray, and the finale of season 3 was tonight on BBC America. I will say that the Castor (male) clones took away a little too much from the primary story though.

I haven't been able to get the first part of the third season on kickass.to, so I haven't seen the third season yet. I might eventually break down and pay for the first couple episodes. I liked the first two seasons quite a bit.
