(Space, 2014)
More of the same. Tatiana Maslany is quite remarkable playing all the lead roles. Jordan Gavaris offers able support. The plot remains intriguing in any given moment but never leads anywhere, instead treading water, circling its premise and calling out ‘Marco Polo!’
Orphan Black, Series 1
(Space, 2013)
