TV: Orphan Black

I try to stick to MMO discussion here but I wanted to mention this particularly fine TV show.

Orphan Black is a dark funny contemporary sci fi show about human cloning. Because of the weirdness of the TV industry I've found a lot of people haven't heard of it as it's not particularly well promoted, especially in the USA.

It's a first class TV series, on a par with Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones.

Season 1 and 2 are currently available on UK Netflix.

Season 3 is available for about a month on the BBC iplayer.

If you have access it's definitely one to catch if you like TV drama shows.

Here's a trailer:

  1. Why the hell Tatiana Maslany hasn't won every major acting award there is, is beyond me. Brilliant. And absolutely worth a watch.

    1. Meh, she's ok not great. Just because she plays a bunch of different characters (the crazy russian chick being the best of the lot) doesn't make her brilliant.

  2. Its a good show, but putting in on par with breaking bad and GoT is a bit of a stretch

    3. I can't remember - it wasn't us.

      Some of my colleagues knew the guys who ran that game. They were really shaken and stopped doing the PBM.

  5. It's an ok show, especially considering the garbage that on other channels in the same time slot around here. On par with Breaking Bad sure but Game of Thrones, not even close!
