Sarah hopes that cleaning out a dead woman’s bank account will solve all her problems. Instead, her problems multiply – and so dös she. Experience a whole new side of BBC AMERICA with the channel’s next original scripted series, “Orphan Black,” the exciting and ambitious new addition to the Supernatural Saturday programming block. “Orphan Black” features rising star Tatiana Maslany (“Cas & Dylan,” “Picture Day”) in the lead role of Sarah, an outsider and orphan whose life changes dramatically after witnessing the suicide of a woman who looks just like her. Sarah assumes her identity, her boyfriend and her bank account. But instead of solving her problems, the street smart chameleon is thrust headlong into a kaleidoscopic mystery. She makes the dizzying discovery that she and the dead woman are clones… but are they the only ones? Sarah quickly finds herself caught in the middle of a deadly conspiracy and must race to find answers about who she is and how many others there are just like her. Orphan Black premieres Saturday, March 30, 9:00pm ET/PT, as part of BBC AMERICA’s Supernatural Saturday.

I started watching but dropped it after half way through first season. Pilot was interesting but it just didn't stick with me!

I had that exact same feeling just from reading through the synopsis. I mean, it seems interesting enough, but like I said before, I'm not really looking for a time killer as I lack time as is

I feel like this is going to be one of those shows where the exact same thing happens every single episode (e.g. House, even though that was an awesome show)

actually is not so Repetitive (same thing happens every single episode ) , it has a plot , but it makes the watcher feel confused since they have just 1-2 characters beside Tatiana Maslany who plays 4-5 roles as clones (it's like a low budget smartly done) at first it makes you feel astonished by the smart ideea , the conspiracy, the clones fight for survival, but after first season the plot starts to repeat itself and they just adding 1 more role as clone for Tatiana Maslany - what was at first amazing it starts to be overused , since in last season they started to add also male clones :))

the tv show had potential but it turned to be a spare time killing show

30 wins & 35 nominations

is to much for me

to me it looks like they have shot their bolt. although the male clones idea is not bad it's not very creative either. for this 3rd season now they need to come up with something else to keep the level but so far it doesn't look like it

probably it was that type of show with 1 season script that turned to be demanded by viewers to renew , the renew was done but when it was in the writter mind was the question ( oh,fuck,now what ?!? )

**yoco** · 04.05.15, 10:42

I feel like that's like almost every new show after the pilot episodes!
