When I tell people about "Orphan Black" I always say that it's a perfect TV Show. From the very first episode to the last episode I loved it. The acting is spectacular and Tatiana Maslany rightfully deserved her Emmy Award.
Everyone is topnotch in this series, but Tatiana is downright awesome. The minute a new version appears it is entirely possible to doubt it is the same actor. It's like a magic trick.
As you said, the acting in this is top notch. I do think another aspect to why the show works as well as it does: how it’s shot. Historically, if you were going to use tricks to twin an actor, you basically nailed the camera to the floor, shot a scene with twin #1, then the actor would change outfits/hair/makeup as required and then you’d reshoot the scene with twin #2. You could always kind of tell it that sort of shot tho. Also you could play tricks with body doubles if you could get away with only having the face if one twin in the shot. In this, look at the scene @1:42; there are three of her in shot, at different points of focus, the faces of all three are visible, /and/ the camera is moving. Not only moving, but moving in a way that is consistent with how the “regular” (not dealing with multiple clones) shots are done, so it doesn’t feel unusual in any way. It’s just another shot, and so it makes the clones feel that more real. Good stuff.
I've seen many movies/shows over the years with actors playing multiple characters, but NOBODY nearly as convincing as Tatiana Maslany. We actually "buy" that we're watching different characters. She deserved every award she received.
What blows my mind is that all 4 characters are Tatiana! Like what? How? I constantly forget throughout the series and then re-realise it and freak out again, lol. I love this show and all the acting is phenomenal but especially Tatiana. I love that you're loving this show and I get to re-experience it with you! ~FM :)
A comic was released called Orphan Black: Helsinki which tells the story of what had happened to clones in Europe that had become self-aware. It's only mentioned in the show on a few brief occasions so it's not spoilery. Can add some context for anyone who wants to check it out.
Yeah, Sarah's tough in her own way but she's not "cop tough" like Beth and Maslany's performance makes that _extremely_ clear without a load of clunky exposition. Other than that, bit more of a feel for what the other (we can now say :) _clones_ are like, a new arrival plus the plot thickens.
You took the words right out of my mouth; when they keep dragging the confusion too long they loose me; it did happen when watching some other shows, I just quit.

Now that you know what they are I can finally say it.... Clone club!

yay! I knew you would love this show! I think firefly and sherlock might be the only shows I've rewatched more than this🥰
The Russian clone is my favorite.
One clone was born in England but raised in Ukraine. I cannot think of a "Russian clone".
@@michaelnolan6951 Born in Wales, IIRC
@@maverickstanding5733 I assume you are correct, everybody else usually is!
Ande, how often do you forget she is playing all the clones?
So you met 6 only 270+ more to go then . . . And you think its complicated?

Hi Andy!
Not intentional, but my comment was called spoilery. Deleted!
All due respect, but this feels like a bit of a spoiler. Would you mind deleting it?
@@noahrobin1941 Done!
Thanks!
