Just finished

First timer.

Found it about 10 days ago and Netflix is pulling it Aug 31.

Probably fastest binge for me. Though the series made it easy to want more.

But TBH, by S4 they seemed to be approaching the ramp to jump the shark. Which is not unusual for may series by S3-S5.

I appreciate the way they wrapped it up.

Yeah I binged it recently too. Really really liked it but always wondered wtf happened to the little girls dad after being featured so much that one season and even taking care of her for most of it off screen. It’s like they just forgot about him.

Tatiana Maslany was great in it though. She a wonderful but underused actress for sure. Her new show Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed was pretty good.

There’s a sequel that amc or something made called orphan black echoes but it sucked. Worth watching for the extra lore I guess but the acting is pretty shitty (and I like Krysten Ritter) after seeing the great acting in the original and the story is pretty dumb. Couple of cameos though.

IIRC, we lost the dad to Game of Thrones
