The third season of Orphan Black concludes tonight. I loved the first season of Orphan Black. I was lukewarm about Season Two. I’m very dissatisfied with Season Three. The cast is terrific especially Tatiana Maslany who plays the roles of all the clones. These season the writing has declined with silly plots like Alison selling drugs and running for the School Board. Really? The killing off of a Major Character, while shocking, took one of the more intriguing plots off the board. I don’t know if I’ll watch Season Four. All I know is that the writing needs a major upgrade. And Tatiana Maslany deserves an Emmy Award.
That’s a shame. I was hoping for a comeback after the so so season two – too much Rachel, not enough Allison for one thing – but it doesn’t sound like it happened. (We don’t have BBC America any more so would get it on Netflix.) Too bad they didn’t go back to what they did best.
Jeff, ORPHAN BLACK needs to recruit some of the MARVEL writers. This series has a lot of potential but it seems to have lost its way.
Although I loved SEASON ONE, they lost me during SEASON 2. Good acting is not enough.
Patti, I’m not sure I’ll continue watching Season Four. You’re right: good acting isn’t enough.
A $cientologist joined the cast. Warning, Will Robinson!
Bob, a bunch of characters were killed off last night. The Scientologist might have been one of them!
No matter, I don’t get that channel.
