this is a public service announcement.

Great story in todays NY Post about this amazing show features Tatiana Maslany playing 6 distinct women, each with a different accennt

UN-SYBIL: Tatiana Maslany is all these characters — each with a different accent.

1) Brit punk rock mess Sarah, who was orphaned as a baby and is now a single mother who lost custody of her own child before assuming the identity of:

2) Beth, a damaged American cop who threw herself in front of an oncoming train in episode one. Troubled Beth had nothing in common with the identical:

3) Alison, a conservative, uptight control freak, suburban soccer mom with two adopted kids, a reliance on prescription drugs and a boring husband, who is totally the opposite of identical:

4) Dred-headed Cosima, a PhD student who happens to be studying experimental evolutionary biology (could come in very handy considering). If Cosima weren’t a clone, chances are incredibly good that she would never have run into identical:

5) Russian assassin/fundamentalist Helena, of the crazy blond curly mane, who thinks she’s the real deal and everyone else is a clone. Therefore, it’s up to her to kill off the rest, which is how she came to murder:

6) Poor Katja, the sickly German who was a nervous wreck before running into the freight train that is Helena.

If God and the Emmys are fair, at least six Maslanys will be picking up statuettes this September.

I have been enjoying the show, but I wonder how many people have avoided it, despite it's Doctor Who lead in, simply because it has one of the worst names for a TV show in recent memory?

seriously! Ive been watching since the beginning and i still dont know what Orphan Black means.

My favorite part is when one clone has to immitate the other....
like when Sarah is Beth, or Alison is Sarah, its really fun to watch her act how one girl acts like the other... the same but not really
