S T @SMgolf Apr 11, 2026 Season 1 and 2 were ok, after that downhill.

I thought 1 actress playing multiple rolls would be lack of excitement, however, the plot and twist kept me intrigued. You will find a character that you like, and it keeps you wanting more, mine was Paul and Helena (blonde murderous clone). It made it to 5 seasons and I never lost interest. Sci-fi, fantasy, and a bit of how complex human relationships can be. I recommend! See more mati k @RT83681607 Apr 29, 2025 So good! Tatiana's acting skill in this series can't be matched and every season sets a new mood.

See more jon c Feb 25, 2021 It's the 5th and final season of the successful BBC thriller. Last time BrightBorn was behind the gene therapy acting as a fertility clinic with the clones, Shioban's mother was killed, Cosima found out about Dephine's murder, Rachel Duncan and her mother reunited albeit not under the best circumstances, small nano devices were discovered in Sarah and Dr. Leeki rewriting the genetic code, Susan's co-founder Eevee betrayed her and decided to move forward perfecting the human genome and Delphine seemed to have survived being gunned down. The cliffhanger had Rachel get her seat of power back to enact her plan of activating more nano bugs into future generations of clones with Sarah and the others hoping to stop her. But Sarah was injured and Susan killed while Cosima was rescued and healed by Delphine and Westmore...the man who wrote the book on the whole science of genetic cloning from over 100 years ago! Sarah is held by Rachel in Dyad to study her daughters physiology, Rachel wants to restart the human cloning process, and hopefully by working with Westmore Cosima can develop a cure for herself and her sisters. But there's something else on the island; apparently it was the first genetic test ever performed by Susan and Westmore, and because they did it too early it created a deformed hungry being filled with tumors as well as brain damage. With all the people gathered on the island it also shows how people's hope and faith can be twisted to suit someone else's personal gain in the name of science, once the truth comes out the amount of belief is stripped away. Rachel even remembers her own past starting out at Dyad and realizing her original goal was manipulated by Leeki and Westmore than what she was promised, perhaps her own objective has been shifted. Shioban also makes the ultimate sacrifice to take down Neolution's power and to stop Ferdinand's influence once and for all. Life can be taken away but you can't take away someone's humanity, a relationship is doing things against ones own self interest, is there such thing as immortality?, gather enough followers and you have power, having a child or not is the biggest decision a woman can make, there's a difference between a freak of nature and evolution. The series finale attempts to pull out all the stops; Sarah and the others face off against Westmore, the other leaders of Neolution, Helena's babies are in danger of becoming part of the cloning objective, and Kira's genetic structure is to be utilized for generations to come. The 5th and final season of Orphan Black is quite the showstopper wrapping up this hugely intense version of ‘Logan's Run'. Tatiana Maslany has proven she can play several parts of herself at the same time and tackling heavy subjects with the process of cloning, science, nature vs nurture, going beyond modern science, and perverting nature to excel the biology of the human race. All the supporting characters impressed me too committing to their roles being caught in a twisted web of lies and conspiracies. Sarah and the others all might have started out as orphans tangled in a black, cold hearted world that treated them like experiments rather than people but they've made it through the worst stuff imaginable. Its also asked questions about the power and consequences of creation by adding new wrinkles to ponder that echo current conversations about feminism and a woman's right to choice. At the core it's the human elements that made all the players fascinating. I'm thankful BBC created an exciting, thrilling, and fascinating series with many faces brought to life by one incredible actress. Tatiana Maslany's best remembered role will always be many sisters with one face in a bigger adventure nobody could've been ready for. Well done BBC! See more Read all reviews
