Imagine you were out one day and you saw someone who looked exactly like you. Now imagine that person stepping out in front of a moving train, killing themselves. Orphan Black started that way and things get crazier from there.

Now that people have stopped focusing on the complete waste of time (and the lack of plot) that was the most recent season of Doctor Who, I am hoping that the best show on BBC America will now get visibility.

BBC America has been working to create some original programming to entice viewers, rather than rely on reruns of Kitchen Nightmares and Top Gear. This year brought about Orphan Black, which primarily follows the story of Sarah Manning, a troubled woman who steals the purse of her look-a-like, Beth, when Beth gets up close and personal with a train.

Sarah takes on Beth's identity and immediately becomes embroiled in a crazy life as she discovers that she is one of many clones, each with watchers, who are being murdered.

Sarah, and her clones, are played by Tatiana Maslany. We get to meet several of the clones, including Allison (a suburb living soccer mom), Cosima (a nerdy biology student) and Helena (a psychopathic murderer). Tatiana Maslany brings each character to life in completely different ways. She does such an amazing job that you have to remind yourself that it is the same actor playing each character.

How good is the show? Well, it has been picked up for a second season, and it has been sold to the BBC so that it can be shown in the UK. Not bad.

The season finale is next week. That means you have an opportunity to catch up on what you have missed by watching the Orphan Black marathon BBC America will be playing on June 1st starting at 12pm EST.
