I love this movie so much

Absolutely the worst movie.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

So came across this and after reading some of the reviews thought i would give it a go The initial first hook of the first episode is a struggling wide girl single mother sees a woman commit suicide and steal her bag .after rifling through her bag she discovers she looks like the victim and decided to take on her identity to escape from her abusive boyfriends whom she has been in hiding from,She has a step brother whom she is close too and confides in him. the story builds from there and you soon discover the victim was a detective who had money in the bank and a nice house but was suspended from the police for a shooting,Thats the first episode and it builds form there. The one thing that is really not good is the loud background music constantly playing whilst the actors talk,and it s a struggle to hear what they are saying.i do not understand how the producers don't notice this before they released this.if anything puts me off continuing watching it will be that.after on e episode promising but the background noise will need to get better or i wont be watching it long.

Certainly don't agree with the rest of the pack or sheep perhaps or the 20/30 somethings or teenagers that must have written on here - surely to God?Yes.. its syfi but incredibly naive, primitive, trying to be American in some awful way with dreadful ham acting (just about got the right lines out) though very BBC. Just come off some fantastic Scandinavian drama so have been spoilt silly. BBC can do it - North and South for example.This was recommended to us as yes I like syfi a lot but certainly not this syfi. You have to be kidding. Couldn't be worse if it tried and yet it has run for a staggering five seasons since 2013!. The intro - the totally flippant, facetious way she took on that persons life - summed it up really. Absolutely not one iota for humanity. So not even humorous unless you are sick. Red Dwarf was humorous. There are endless examples of humorous Syfi.Just goes to show people have dumbed down their viewing habits. Yet its so BBC now. Every drama appears to be for the 20 and thirty somethings. No family at all. This model is alien, doesn't exist for the BBC - yet very politically correct now. It has every type of maladjusted human being on the planet. Yet also falls between every different type of stool in the tv market. Wow no wonder I avoid the BBC. These days the BBC couldn't copy a good foreign example of any excellent television drama no matter how hard it tried. Just one example was Wallander. Just watched this drama twice over. Stargate SG1 was also immaculate syfi.Just shows the sad state of tv, film drama in the UK these days. Good luck with it!

I've watched all 5 seasons. Season 1 says "this is great, keep watching it". Season 2 says "Just wait, it will be better". Season 3 says "Ha, you thought this will be good?" Season 4 says "We don't know what we are doing with this show" Season 5 says "Ok guys, just finish this crap, ok?"Too much nonsence scenes, too much questions, too much stupid outlines. I was expecting serious SCI-FI reading those comments ,and the most SCI-FI thing i've seen on this show, was only a stupid tail that had some guy. Wow.

The first season of Orphan Black was captivating. It wasn't perfect, but it was at least interesting and engaging. Still, it had its flaws. Accents, for one thing. They were way off and distracting. Then there were glaring illogical sequences that were simply not believable, like Art not realizing Sarah wasn't Beth, among others.Then there were the way-over-the-top characters, like Fee. (It's sad to see such stereotypical misrepresentations of homosexuals in the 21st century. Of course there are flamers, but they represent only a small percentage of male homosexuals. And ironically, when Fee and Donnie go to the clinic as a homosexual couple Fee admonishes Donnie for acting too flamboyant. He goes so far as to tell Donnie that 10% of males are homosexual and Donnie doesn't see that because they blend in so seamlessly. What does that say about Fee's character then?) In fact, almost ALL of the characters were over the top. So as much as I liked Helena, she was always over the top. So was Allison in her yuppiness. So was Sarah, etc. So was Cosima. So was Rachel. About the only character who was real was Beth Childs, and she was gone after season 1.And therein lies the rub. This show is so dumbed down with its one dimensional characters and gaping plot holes that the original concept (eugenics is bad) gets lost in the sauce. It got to the point that I did a 180 on my appreciation of Tatiana's acting skills. By the end I hated all of her characterizations. Yes, it took skill on her part to do all the different roles, but not a single role possessed one iota of subtlety, and an actress that can't portray subtlety is not a very good actress.Further dumbing down the show is the weak writing and directing. Bringing back some character from the dead (i.e. Helena) is bad enough. But to keep doing it over and over, right up to the "back from the dead" Susan Duncan, is inexcusable. And compounding the issue is the editing. Things just jump from one scene to the next with no coherence whatsoever. It's not art or cool or cutting edge; it's just lazy writing and directing.But the biggest issue is this: When you pack a show with one loathsome character after another, the show itself becomes loathsome. And make no mistake about it; this show is filled with some of the most loathsome characters in TV history. But there just isn't enough goodness in the lead characters/protagonists to offset that. As a result the show implodes and caves in due to the imbalance. And it's not that I don't like or appreciate dark protagonists; I do. But this show rips off its audience time and time again by opting for shock value over quality story telling, and that's the last straw.By the final season I just wanted the show to be over. I watched every episode but really regretted it. This show could have been a 10. In the end, I grudgingly gave it a 5.
