Rec. #340: Orphan Black, season 1


What: Tatiana Maslany Tatiana Maslany Tatiana Maslany Tatiana Maslany Tatiana Maslany Tatiana Maslany Tatiana Maslany Tatiana Maslany Tatiana Maslany Tatiana Maslany Tatiana Maslany Tatiana Maslany Tatiana Maslany Tatiana Maslany Tatiana Maslany.

OK, now that that's out of the way: If you somehow haven't already been plot-spoiled about this show, I'm not going to be the one to do it.

All you need to know is that Orphan Black is fast, it's rough, and it tumbles out in ways you don't expect. Also, Felix gets all the best lines*.

Some of Felix's best lines:
"Do not snap towels at me, Bobby. I had a very traumatic childhood."

"Is every man in your life a complete wanker, except me?"

"Divorces do really strange things to normals, Sarah. They lose their fake happiness, they forget the way to the mall, and then they come downtown to find themselves."

"I need to change clothes. Fetch me something gay."


How to get it: Season 1 of Orphan Black is available to stream for free with Amazon Prime. Also, at this moment at least, you can stream the first episode of season 2 on BBCAmerica.com.

Connections to previous Wreckage: See a bonus Felix quote in QfFC #10. Also, Orphan Black was part of List #37: Some of the Best TV I Watched in 2013.



*Actually, it could be argued that Alison gets the best lines. Almost all of her quotes contain spoilers, though, so shhhhhhh . . .
