Review
I am just mesmerized watching the actress play so many roles with such differing mannerisms personalities and even vocallinguistic differences. I am in awe of her ability. She absolutely needs to get an award for this performance. The premise is unique and a welcome addition to the scifi genre. Truly it is one of the best scifi shows I have seen in a very long time. There is mystery romance danger and with the promise of more characters to be played by Tatyana Maslany Orphan Black just has to continue for as many seasons as possible. PLEASE. I love the rest of the cast also (especially her homosexual foster brother who provides some timely comic moments). The excitement just builds and builds as the season unfolds. Love it.
