Wife and I got behind while I was overseas, but just started catching up. Started season 3 ther other day. Maslany still amazes me.

I'll admit - they almost lost me in season 2 with "Tony". God, that was cringy and awful. I'm glad he wasn't a permanent fixture.

Holy hell this is one amazing thread bump!

And yeah, I liked it. Great actress, and it shows what horrendous material she was given in She-Hulk to have her ben that unappealing.

Solid.

I like how the series tried to go in many different directions, but in one particular one, they decided it was too much, and simply bailed.


You’ll know it when you see it.

* I just saw the date of the original post. Holy hell indeed

I'm curious to see what the new spin off is going to look like. I'm glad to hear they are going in some different directions instead of doing the same thing over again with a new cast.

quote:

What Is the Plot of Orphan Black: Echoes?

The series is reportedly set during 2052, a major time jump after the events of the original show Orphan Black. Krysten Ritter's Lucy will be at the center of a new conundrum related to the scientific endeavor of cloning. This future setting of the series hints that the development of cloning has advanced to new heights that could prove to be helpful or harmful. That is where Keeley Hawes' scientist character comes into the story to explore and contemplate this new scientific venture. The original show's co-creator John Fawcett recently revealed in a Radio Times interview:

quote:

The spin-off is a very different show. If you go with the expectation that you're going to see Orphan Black, you're going to probably be disappointed. It's got its own feel, it's got its own identity. What makes it Orphan Black, there's a bit of a slow burn to it. I think it'll be exciting for fans to discover.


His comments seem to suggest that the spin-off might potentially stray from having multiple clones played by the same actress as Tatiana Maslany did. It remains unconfirmed as to what length Ritter may portray clones or if the show will do something else entirely different. Yet, Echoes will most likely have the same essence of mystery that will surround Lucy and unfold through each episode while examining a new frontier of cloning experimentation. The official synopsis reads as follows:

quote:

Set in the near future, Orphan Black: Echoes takes a deep dive into the exploration of the scientific manipulation of human existence. It follows a group of women as they weave their way into each other’s lives and embark on a thrilling journey, unravelling the mystery of their identity and uncovering a wrenching story of love and betrayal. Ritter plays Lucy, a woman with an unimaginable origin story, trying to find her place in the world.

I still stand by my Alison/Helena sandwich comment.

It used to be on Amazon Prime, I don’t know if it’s still there or not. The article I posted on the spinoff says it’s on AMC+ which is where the spinoff is going.
