Why You Should Watch Orphan Black
Orphan Black is a masterclass in the sci-fi thriller genre that offers a compelling, high-stakes science fiction plot that will have viewers on the edge of their seats from beginning to end. The mind-bending narrative of the show is incredibly addictive and fast-paced, features frequent twists, and isn’t afraid to raise moral and ethical questions. We’d also be remiss not to mention Maslany, whose Emmy-winning performance in multiple roles is a standout of the show and her career. Throughout the series, Maslany portrays several different clones, bringing a unique personality and nuances to each, including some in the same scene.
