The BBC America series
Orphan Black
(2013-2017) won acclaim for its compelling writing, resonant themes and innovative special effects. And for the bravura acting of Tatiana Maslany, who plays an ever-growing number of clones drawn into an increasingly dangerous world of cutting-edge science, corporate espionage, military secrets and religious fanaticism.
Heir to pioneering shows centered on strong female characters, such as
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
,
Dollhouse
Lost
