A woman, Sarah Manning, spots her doppelganger on a station platform. The double then commits suicide by jumping in front of a train. Sensing an opportunity, Manning takes on the deceased woman's identity. However, she soon discovers that the doppelganger is not just a once-off and the more she investigates this strange occurrence, the more dangerous it gets….. Sarah Manning, a streetwise Brit by upbringing, has had a difficult life, living in foster care with a flamboyantly gay foster brother, artist Felix Dawkins, both under the care of their equally tough foster mother Siobhan Sadler, who eventually moved them all to Toronto. All single Sarah really wants is to provide a comfortable and stable life for her adolescent daughter, Kira. Sarah's life changes in an instant when she witnesses a woman who looks exactly like her commit suicide by stepping in front of a train. Witnessing that event is the first step to Sarah discovering that she was and is part of a cloning project, two of her other "sisters", suburban soccer mom Alison Hendrix and Ph.D. microbiology candidate Cosima Niehaus, along with her who collectively try to uncover the nature of the project, including who may be constantly watching them, and if there are other sisters out there about which they do not know. They will find that not all of their sisters would work toward the same goals as them, and that a parallel project has a completely different set of identicals. This show is decently entertaining with a fairly fresh concept. The acting is very good and Tatyana Maslany has the role(s) of a lifetime for an actor and does very well with them. The one thing I have noticed with most series lately is that there almost appears to be a quota for having homosexuals included. This show is the most over the top that I have seen so far with lesbianism and the over the top gay brother who seems to have a hard time with keeping his ass covered. The sex scenes become an overblown annoyance at times and for me interfere with the flow of the drama. If one can get past that, it's not too bad. I would give a higher rating if they didn't feel the need to over play the sex scenes. I initially was going to give this show a miss but due to the rave reviews I decided to reconsider. There appear to be a few flaws but overall it's a highly charged and intense series. The concept is fairly involved and flows quite well. There are enough plot twists to keep you interested but it also manages to not turn into an ill thought out convoluted mess.<br/><br/>Probably my biggest issue with Orphan Black is that it is a little unbelievable. I find it extremely hard to believe that the lead character manages to fool everyone into thinking she is someone she's not. Also I understand that they need to differentiate between the clones but the accents are a little ridiculous and off-putting. I do give major credit to actress Tatiana Maslany. She plays multiple characters and manages to keep them all separate even if they are a little over the top. <br/><br/>I want to rate the show higher but I just can't do it. I enjoy it but I really don't love it. Personally I think the IMDb rating has been overinflated and is really only an above average show. But that's just my opinion.
It is set and filmed in Toronto, Canada, this is why cars sport Ontario license plates, there is multi-coloured money, and a plane ticket that is displayed in the pilot episode clearly identifies Toronto's Pearson International Airport. Alison lives in Scarborough, the eastern district of Toronto, which Sarah refers to as "practically local". In the third episode, the night skyline shown around 13 minutes in is Toronto's, and the stolen motorcycle turns up in Parkdale, a neighborhood in southwestern Toronto. Furthermore, Sarah refers to a 'Bay Street', which is Toronto's financial district.<br/><br/>The police cars, station and mugs just say, "Police Department" and have almost the Toronto Police crest. The detectives use NYPD-style badges that say "Police Detective" (Beth's also says, "N.J."). The uniformed police have LAPD-style badges that say "Metropolitan Police". A close-up of Art's business card shows a phone number with area code 416, which is Toronto's area code.<br/><br/>In the first episode, Sarah arrives at the fictional "Huxley Station", where a loudspeaker announces that trains to New York will be departing from platform B, which would indicate the show is not set in New York.<br/><br/>Cosima Niehaus is in Toronto in the first episodes, but thereafter is seen communicating via Skype from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities (U of M), a public research university located in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, United States.<br/><br/>Mrs. S' driver license shows a Toronto address. Tatiana Maslany, who plays Sarah and the clones, is Canadian, as are the majority of the principal actors. While she and a few others are from western Canada, the majority of the cast is from Ontario and Quebec. Jordan Gavaris who plays Felix, for example, is from Ontario. Evelyne Brochu, who plays Delphine, is from Quebec. A very few cast members are from the United States and the British Isles. The actress who plays Mrs. S was born in Dublin, Ireland. Creators John Fawcett and Graeme Manson originally planned that all of the clones would be exactly identical in both their looks and personalities and therefore they would tell each other apart by colored code names. Hence the name Orphan Black was created.<br/><br/>Sarah is an orphan. See this conversation between Mrs. S and Sarah:<br/><br/>Mrs S: "There were rumors about the kids we were hiding - the ones that came in Carlton's pipeline - like you. Children in the black." a5c7b9f00b Atsuki nagaki tatakai ga ima hajima ru download moviesLand of Smiles malayalam full movie free downloadInnerspace movie hindi free downloadBackup full movie hd 720p free downloadEarth Worst sub downloadStar Trek: Enterprise full movie kickass torrenttamil movie dubbed in hindi free download Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound!The Last Ones full movie in hindi free download mp4The Lost World full movie in hindi free download hd 720phindi America: Why I Love Her free download
