Its my second favorite show after highlander.
The acting is phenomenal, and the plot is so unique and strange, which is probably why it isn't that popular.
havent been able to catch up on season 5 tho, gonna save it for a day off when nobody's home.

I watched it when the first 2 seasons were available on Amazon Prime and caught season 3 ....elsewhere. I liked it a lot. The plot was engaging, the acting was phenomenal (Tatiana Maslany is a goddess) and it was well directed. I'm just sad I was so late to the party. Somehow I still haven't watched the last season. Tbh I'm not sure if I saw season 4 either (but I think I did).
People definitely talked about it though, especially when it first came out. From 2013-2015ish there was a lot of buzz around it; it would trend on Twitter when it was on and popped up on people's top 10 lists all the time. The only thing that changed is that there was a marked decrease in promo in the latter seasons which is normal for many shows, but something that aired on BBC America needed all the help it could get and the show suffered for it. Don't get me wrong, it's still slept on, but a lack of heavy promo didn't help.
I look at Orphan Black like I look at Dollhouse tbh. Both great shows that so many still don't know about or have forgotten.

It's too confusing and convoluted to talk about coherently so if you enjoy it, you kinda just gotta enjoy it by yourself.
By S3 it's just a mess of a story that's still entertaining.
By the final season I wasn't even sure what they wanted to achieve, I was just watching it for Tatiana's performance(s)

Beautifully acted, great writing
It does get confusing as hell, but, you can find something to like
There's been threads for the show each season since it came out.

HAS ANY COLI BREHS WATCHED THE BBC SHOW "ORPHAN BLACK"? WOOOOOOOOOOOO
By the time the show wrapped up its run, interest here was dying down. I thought they did a really job with the final season and Tatiana Maslany's role(s) are still some of the best acting performances I've seen on TV period.

Wtf u talkin bout? Ya Bish
I liked the first couple seasons but then it got too confusing. They were just constantly adding clones to the point I just didn't care anymore. My mom watched it all the way thru tho

It was just me and @TheNatureBoy in the season threads at some points.
I fuxed with it, though - it was filmed around the city, so I wanted to see it win

Haven't finished the last season, so I'm probably have to start back at season 3. The star of the show acted her ass off from episode 1. It's a shame she didn't get more recognition. Each character was truly different.

I stopped watching sometime in S2. Plot made zero sense, show was delving deep into mediocrity.

Cant believe I slept on this show
