At the time of writing there’s been no official announcement that In the Flesh has been recommissioned for a third season, which seems like cruel and unusual punishment for an audience dealing with the end of a damn fine series and the apparent loss of one of its best characters. So surely it’s only a … >
One of the great things about Orphan Black is that we really have no idea just how many clones there are. The only limit, really, is how many clones Tatiana Maslany can convincingly play. And, judging from what we’ve already seen, she can convincingly play just about anybody. In this episode, we’re introduced to a … >
Now that’s how you do a surprising death. In this episode, Dr Leekie goes from being potentially Sarah’s greatest enemy, to threatened by Rachel after she learns the truth, and then to… murdered, accidentally, by Donnie. You don’t get much more unpredictable than that. Last week it seemed natural to theorise that Rachel’s reaction to … >

The seven-part series will see eight contestants begin an apocalyptic adventure trapped together in a shopping mall, surrounded by the walking dead.

Proof of concept. Those three words answer one of Orphan Black’s lingering questions. Why do the clones exist? Because, of course, somebody wanted to prove that they could. Sarah’s conversation with Ethan Duncan at the end of ‘To Hound Nature in Her Wanderings’ is a particularly revelatory one. Shot in dark and mysterious low lighting, … >
Time for one of two incongruous Hitchhiker’s Guide references!
