Orphan Black Season One 2013


Orphan Black: Season One


     Sarah Manning has just returned after being away for 10 months.  Kira is her young daughter and she has been in the care of Mrs. S who was a foster mother to Sarah and Felix.  Sarah wants to reconnect with Felix, her foster brother and try to get Kira back.  At the train station, Sarah witness a young woman who looks a lot like her jump in front of the moving train.  She takes the woman’s purse that was left on the platform and decides to steal her identity for the time being.  She doesn’t know there will be a lot of complications due to this choice. 
     This series is very good and one actress plays more than one role.  There are a lot of mysteries with more information revealed as the series moves along in episodes.  Both Sarah and Felix are outside the typical norm and there are also questions about Mrs. S.  I don't want to give too much away about what the basic premise is of this series.  4 1/2* (I loved this series)
