Orphan Black

[keswindhover]

Attention, Brits out there - Orphan Black starts on BBC3 on Friday. I strongly recommend it, though honesty compels me to say it doesn't really start to fly until Episode 4 onwards, maybe Episode 5. Perhaps the right approach is to amass episodes and have a marathon. Basic premise? There are clones, someone is killing them - who and why

I gave up after the second episode. Perhaps a marathon is the way to go.

You may continue not to care - it has its flaws. But I got hooked as soon as they got away from the dreary police investigation side of things.

I still need to watch Orphan Black! Must get on with it.

Ah yes, I have my colours confused. But still, watch it and you can join in anyway!

I'm only on episode 2, but I love iiiiiiiiiit!! I'm putting up with the dodgy accents for it and everything! I kind of miss having TV to look forward to, so I'm probably going to watch on the BBC schedule, but it will be hard not to just watch. Do wish BBCA could have just put Sarah and Fe the actors up in Watford or Dagenham or somewhere for six months just to iron out the last few twinges (although Fe is basically there), but it's so much fun (ignoring the spookiness). Sarah pretending to be Katja (Rock and Roll!) and the Soccer Mom and Suburban acne!

Sarah retains a hint of Melbourne throughout. Perhaps she was brought up hooked on Neighbours and Home and Away.

And if you love it after ep 2 you will be swooning by ep5. :D
