This show is hilariously good at throwing a bunch of characters together and watching the craziness fly.

"I also had a pleasant day. I went working and shopping."
I don't mean to sound insensitive or anything....But why is british television so obsessed with suicide? I've been watching quiet a bit of their shows including orphan black and for some reason alot of them tend to have that theme interspersed somewhere during the season. Maybe it's just me tho.
This is a Canadian show. But anyway, I hadn't noticed that.
wha? My bad then. She had an accent and assumed the show was british...I'm barely 5 mintutes in. On the theme, it might be because i've watched alot of skins and some other shows of the sort.
Yeah, plus it's on BBC America and it'll be airing in the UK. It's confusing.
But yeah, it was created by Canadians, shot in Canada, most of the actors (including the main girl) are Canadian etc. The BBC just bought airing rights for BBC America, I think, and then they liked it and it's doing well so now they're going to air it in the UK as well.

New episode tonight:
I think my favorite part about this show, beside Alison in yoga pants, has been how it has managed to stay out of the common pitfalls of doppleganger shows. Thanks to a great wardrobe and make-up department, the clones actually look different than each other. I could swear Alison is a good 10 pounds lighter than Sarah or Cosima. When they do impersonate each other, they don't take the easy way out (physically perfect match, but then gets caught by messing something up); instead, it feels like someone trying to impersonate. When people around notice the differences, they actually look into it (Art thinks she may have been dirty, Paul investigates the scar, etc.).
I just hope they manage to keep it going. Shadowy organizations can be tough to pull off. I'm guessing all 10 episodes were filmed before the renewal announcement, so that any screwy twists at the end were meant to be there rather than tacked on.

Yeah, it's a high wire act week after week, so it'll be interesting to see how much they wrap up at the end of S1 and what's left open for S2. At the very least, the writers seem cognizant of the pitfalls (if I'm remembering recent interviews correctly). Only three more episodes this season.

Didn't Gillian Anderson win for the X-Files back in the day? I don't think John Noble was ever nominated for Fringe.
Yeah. Duchovny was nominated too.
So I guess unless your sci-fi show is a giant TV phenomenon, you ain't getting an acting nomination. Poor Tatiana.
No? If Noble couldn't, she sure as hell isn't. I was trying to remember which shows' actors were nominated besides Lost.

Is Tatiana Maslany doing any talk shows? I'd love to see her on the Conan, they could compete for awesome British accents. And German. Oh and I'd like her to try a good Swedish too.

Eh, it's very popular for a BBC America show. Its ratings are so good it got renewed quickly, and BBC proper is bringing it to the UK.I'm still waiting for the episode to go up
People really need to watch this. It's a shame that it's probably not getting the recognition it deserves.

I was away from the Tv set for a moment. What happened at the very end?

Helena let Kira go. She saw Sarah across the street, walked into the street, and got hit by a car.
Don't read the spoiler!
Just watch it for yourself.
That's what we said. I've started recommending the show and it's nice to see others enjoying it as well. This show isn't afraid to kick things up a notch. That's something I really liked about, The Americans.
BBCA does a great job on their tumblrs.

they also have a doctor who, ripper street, copper and others.

Whoa. That's pretty surprising because for such a wild ride of a program, you may not expect something ordinary like that being a turning point.
It's like if the Rebel Alliance were to beat the Empire because Darth Vader lost his wallet.
Excuse me, I've had a bit to drink
Continuum is pretty good too.
What an episode. Show just keeps getting better and better.
Glad it got renewed already for season 2.
I've been hearing good things about this show. I gotta give this a try.
