A new season begins with much more excitement and drama that follows Sara, a young orphan girl, who spends her life in fosters, till she has been raised by Mrs. S, where she faces a hard life, but when she witnesses the murder of a young girl who looks like her, she steals her identity and decides to live her life. Sarah knows who abducts Kira
I'll always value how Orphan Black's ability to shift and combine genres - sometimes in the same scene - kept me hooked through the first season while supercharging the second.
Maslany is so good here that one wishes she wasn't so often forced to deal with exposition in her dialogue instead of the truly remarkable characters she's crafted from each clone but it's impossible to deny the pure entertainment factor of Orphan Black.
There is not a better performance-magic trick?-on television right now than watching Maslany break herself into a multitude that's learning it might be one.
Sorry to say, the sometimes arbitrary storytelling, the lackadaisical direction, the reliance on coincidence and miraculous plot turns all undermine the drama. Maslany deserves better.
