Okay folks, I can't keep quiet on this any longer...Orphan Black Season 2 starts on April 19th!!! If you don't know what I'm talking about well... let me PLEASE enlighten you because it is the mostawesomeshowonTVandI'msoexcited! Orphan Black is a mystery series about a group of clones who do not know each other exist prior to them meeting. Oh shoot, no. That's doesn't explain it adequately. It starts off with this one girl who is kind of a punk, a little down on her luck, seeing her doppelganger at a train station. (aka her IDENTICAL TWIN). And just as she sees her, the other woman leaps from the train platform and commits suicide. Awesome right?? no.. wait, that doesn't explain it right either... gah. So.. this girl assumes the other woman's identity and the only thing she has in common with her is that they are identical. Next day, she learns that the other woman is a cop, oh, and she lives with her boyfriend (who is pretty hot). From that point forward, the girl is plunged into a mystery like no other, and along the way, she learns that there are other dopplegangers out there too - all clones. And all these clones lead significantly different lives. The most awesome part about the show is that they are all played by the same actress: Tatiana Maslany. Ms. Tatiana is freakin' aMAZing. She seamlessly plays all these different characters, you forget that they are all done by the same actress. And, I have no idea how they film this, but the characters talk and interact with each other. It blows my mind. (oh, Parent Trap, you started it all...). There is conspiracy, mystery, intrigue and brilliant acting and it keeps me consistantly on my toes. The first season ended months and months ago, and Mr. Mingle and I have been salivating for this show to come back on.
Do yourself a favor and check out this link to figure out where to see all of Season 1 prior to Season 2 starting and set your recorders! Trust me on this one... you will get hooked fast.
Where to Find Orphan Black Season 1
And, if you already know what I'm talking about and are killing time until Season 2 starts, please check out "The Americans" on FX. It is another awesome drama about a Soviet spy family living under cover in the USA in the '80s. They are bad bad people but its hard not to root them on. The wife is played by my doppelganger (from the crazy Felicity hair days) Keri Russell, and the husband is Matthew Rhys.
And then, when you are done watching both of those, and need a laugh to lighten the mood.. Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Community, and Parks and Recreation are wonderful funny gems.
Now - GO WATCH ORPHAN BLACK!
