  1. This show is awesome, however it took me about 3 or 4 episodes to really get into it. I actually skipped the first two episodes and just started with episode three and it was brilliant. Around episode 7 with Allison getting more screen time was the time I knew this show was something special

    season 2 will be awesome – doesn’t air until April though

  2. This is a great series, I hope it does well for them. I’m very keen to see season 2, I hope they can fast(ish) track it so we don’t have to wait a year like series 1.

  3. About bloody time!
    David do you know if SBS will screen the 2nd season once they have shown season 1? Pretty sure the season 2 starts in April (?).

    From what I have read on American entertainment websites, Orphan Black didn’t have the best ratings while it was airing, but has found a lot of new fans in the time it has been off the air.
    Fingers crossed that Tatiana Maslany wins the Golden Globe, every character she plays has their own personality and while I was watching I really felt as thought there was different actresses playing them.
