Orphan Black, S01E02- Instinct (Patreon)

Good morning, Patrons! Welcome to the next episode of Orphan Black, which was just as fucking awesome as the first one, and I can't wait to watch the next one. Sometimes I get really into a show and wish that I hadn't agreed to cover it because I want to fly through it and binge, but then are the times when a show is so good that I'm thrilled to be covering it, so that I can talk about it forever. This show falls into the latter category.

So much is packed into both of these episodes so far, and it really puzzles me how these writers manage to make me care so much about so many characters that we basically know nothing about. I wish that I knew the secret, both so that I could incorporate it into my own work and so that I can pinpoint why I don't care about characters that I feel like I should on other shows. 

Also, this actress is insanely talented. I mean, I believe her when she plays everyone, to the degree that it's disorienting and I have to remember that they're all the same person. It's like the woman who played both Arabella and the Moss Oak on Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell; you see an identical face, but the similarities end there. 

Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you tomorrow with The Walking Dead!
