Heh, OP is a great show and it's really a crime that Tatiana Maslany wasn't nominated at the Emmys. When I was watching it, I was of course aware that it was always the same actress, but if I hadn't known it, it would have taken me a long time to figure that out, she is just that good. I mean, even Alison and Sarah, who don't differ that much in clothing/hair style/make-up etc. feel like completely different persons.
Yes yes. What gets me is that whenever I am watching one I completely forget she's the same actress playing all the other ones. And then to play one of them pretending to be another one of them...O_O. All so nuanced.
I also love that I can't pick which of them would be most like the actual actress (as in her natural accent..)
It's a travesty that she's nominated for an Emmy. She should have cleaned up.
And then to play one of them pretending to be another one of them Oh man, I almost forgot about that! It's mind-blowing. The producers of the show must have felt like they hit the jackpot when Tatiana auditioned for the part.
Oh, btw, thank you for posting that video about the artist drawing Jared's portrait on Tumblr. I was mesmerised (and very, very envious) while watching it (which happened 3 times in a row). I would make a demon deal to have that kind of artistic skill.
I actually saw it here on LJ (and then saw it again on Tumblr). and then I thought...Oooh, I wanna gif that! I went looking for the artist and noticed that she has her own gifs of her work (she draws a whole heap of celebrities!) so I figure I better not do it.
I had a lot of trouble staying engaged with the plot (maybe because I was spoiled from the get-go?), but it was worth the watch for Tatiana Maslany alone. Wow.
I did enjoy the unravelling, so I was glad I wasn't spoiled from the beginning. I then got completely tied up in the performances. Tatiana is truly amazing.
I'm only halfway through the season, and I keep having to watch stuff off the dvr (so there's room for more stuff. why do I do this to myself?) rather than watching OP. Which is what I really would rather be watching.
Of course, this way, the crack lasts a bit longer. When does S2 start?
Just watched the 8th episode last night! Balancing between wanting to make it last and wanting to know what happens next, omg.
Tatiana Maslany is just shockingly good. Her accents, her body language, all of it. I totally forget that they're not separate actors.
The plot borders on ridiculous cheese sometimes, but everything is so fast-paced and exciting, and the character work is so good, there's no time to worry about it. The only one I really don't like is the guy who plays Paul - he seems so flat and dull in comparison.

Oh I was exactly the same! Watched up to S7 and then tried to wait and let it last. Then watched ep 8, then 9 and then just had watch 10! 3 in a row...dammit.

Yeah - it does seem a bit ridiculous at times (especially what she seems to get away with) but then it's pacey enough to let that stuff wash over you.
And yeah, Paul is rather dull. I keep thinking there's more to him (or more of him?) so I'll be interested to see if they do something more interesting next season. Though I think he's primarily there as a love interest to Sarah maybe.

Such a fun show, though. Love it!
