The triple trouble lesbians and what could have been.

expectations: intimidating dark vestal who took a vow of silence

Tatiana’s performance is incredible

Each of Tatiana’s characters are so distinguishable from each other, you can easily tell them apart, even when they pretend to be each other

As in “Tatiana is playing clone A pretending to be clone B, but I can tell it’s actually A just playing a role” (oh this is a show about clones btw)

She’s that good

This doesn’t mean you should sleep on the rest of the cast tho bc they’re also incredible

Everyone’s acting is just so good 😚👌

You literally never know who to trust outside of our main characters and I love it

You really do feel suspicious and paranoid alongside the main characters

You’d think the acting is all that’s good about this show the way I’m talking about it, but it’s not

The mystery of the main plot is actually really intriguing and suspenseful

It’s got government/military conspiracy! Experimentation! Manipulation! Action/fight sequences!

I literally couldn’t stop binging it the first time I watched it bc I had to know what happens next

It also dives into the concept of nature vs nurture, as well as complex family dynamics, which is especially interesting in relation to Tatiana’s characters

The show can also get really chaotic

Did I mention that the show is funny? Bc it’s funny

It’s not a comedy, so don’t expect to die laughing or anything, but it has its humorous moments/characters that contrast the more serious tone of the rest of the narrative pretty well

Oh, and there’s canon queer characters and relationships. Did I forget to mention that?

And if you end up loving the show, your OB journey doesn’t have to end there bc there’s a sequel audio series called Orphan Black: The Next Chapter that Tatiana narrates (and some of the other actors from the show join her in season 2)

be in love // with me
