Early returns from season two suggest that Orphan Black will be more compelling than ever, as it becomes more confident in its ability, buoyed by the acclaim, and its laudable understanding that a good story is just that--it doesn't matter that it be a straight, familiar drama. Read full review

Orphan Black is better than almost any show on TV at feeling like it’s constantly building toward something, no matter how perilous and rickety its structure becomes. Read full review

Orphan Black has much on its mind, and maybe too much going on. But it knows to play to its amazing strengths--most of which are named Maslany. Read full review

It’s an inordinately intelligent sci-fi series in which the flaws only enhance its overall underdog appeal. Read full review

Maslany’s performance is, however, a bit like truffle fries arriving in a Happy Meal: It is much more sophisticated than everything else around it. Read full review

The show can be messy and confusing--a headlong rush to who-knows- where-or-why at times. But those clones keep it grounded. Read full review

The show is fun to watch, but only because Maslany delivers such diverse and precisely defined characters worth watching. Read full review

Great start to what looks to be a great second season. The episode right where we left off from last years finale and the clone adrenaline doesn't end until the credits roll.

The further it goes, the more twisted it is... I love it. The characters are getting more developed and more intersesting. I can say it is one of my favorite TV show.

Hard to fault for entertainment value. Loads of poor continuity and general silliness, but this doesn't really detract - more humour in season 2. A gazillion times better than Fargo.

Keeping up the excitement and definitely adding some fun. There is so much to like about this show but some things have me worried that they won’t stick the landing,

I've only seen about three episodes of season two so far, but I'm afraid to say that it's not as interesting or as fun as the first season was. I'm getting a little tired of the doctor leaky clone patent people and the religious zealots.

I'm getting a little tired of the doctor leaky clone patent people and the religious zealots. Let's get this series back to the quirky fun differences between the clones. We also need a hell of a lot more of Felix. I'm not sure if they have a new show runner, but what's great about this series has always been the fact that you have sci-fi and a very light hearted nature that makes it palatable to the non-sci-fi viewer. I hope they bear that in mind as they get into the meat of this second season.… Expand
