Orphan Black

Network - BBC America
Genre - Science fiction/drama
My rating - 4 stars out of 5

The show centres around Sarah, a bit of a loser who is on the run from her drug dealer boyfriend and attempting to get her daughter back.  Sarah witnesses the suicide of a woman at a train station and so begins the tale....


I think there is a little confusion in the series (well up to episode 3 at least as that's as far as I am into it) about where the story is taking place.  At first you are lead to believe we're watching the story unfold in New York, but then there are several references during the episodes to the characters actually being in Toronto (where the series is apparently filmed).  If you can get past that, and a couple of dodgy accents (namely the English ones that sound, at times, more Australian) then the story is actually quite a good one (so far!).

I will definitely be watching episode 4.

There's something for most people in this show.  There is a bit of violence, blood, crime fighting, science, less romance but relationships are definitely explored.  Be prepared for a few naked bottoms (back view only so far lol).
