Nearing the end of its fifth season, Orphan Black has taken fans (and members of the Clone Club) on a ride full of delights and warmth, shocks and scares, conspiracies and plenty of drama, drama, drama.

9 things we want to see in season two of Stranger Things

The show, created by John Fawcett and Graeme Manson, and starring Tatiana Maslany as *starts counting them* a lot of different clones, is drawing to a close and, with only four episodes left.

In no particular order, here are just some of the many phenomenal highlights from this impressive tale.

The very first scene

Some shows take an episode or two to find their feet.


Orphan Black started with a shock, a twist, a suicide and a robbery – all within the first few minutes.



It gripped the viewer and has rarely let up since.

Meeting Helena

Many fans of the show argue that Helena is the best of the clones and it’s easy to see why with her first appearance (and everything that followed).

She’s so completely terrifying, utterly unhinged and yet also really intriguing.

Don’t threaten the babies

Which leads me to my next Helena moment.

This one came much later in the show when Helena was now on the side of her sestras and helping out Alison and Donny.

Our favourite psychopath is all calm and control.

That is until someone threatens Alison and Donny’s children.

Time for a dance party

There was a beautiful (albeit brief) moment when the four main clones were together, safe and happy, along with the brilliant Felix.

So what else would they do but have a little dance in the lounge.

It’s a brilliant piece of filming that blends these four personas in sublime fashion.

The song is upbeat and funky and it’s just a really endearing, funny and sweet scene.

Burn

When Helena found out what was really happening at the ranch, she decided to eradicate the problem – by setting the whole place on fire, before making her escape.

When she returns to her sestras and is being looked after by Felix, he once again proves himself the king of the one-liners.

Her reaction is priceless.

Mrs S and Cosima

Mrs S is a total badass.

She has people ‘underground’ and contacts everywhere.

She can also sing, knows how to handle a gun and is a fierce protector of her family.

I mean, is there anything this woman can’t do?

One of the loveliest moments comes when she’s sitting with a very sick Cosima and consoles her in her grief.

Never has the word ‘chicken’ been so gut-wrenching.

Sarah as Alison, Alison as Sarah (and every other clone swap)

Every time one of the clones has to pretend to be one of the others, viewers are in for a treat.

A personal favourite happens when Alison gets drunk and passes out downstairs while playing host to all the neighbours upstairs.

Sarah shows up and is somehow roped into pretending to be her.

It’s one of the many times one of the clones pretends to be one of the other clones, but it’s still one of the funniest.



Anyone got a pencil?

Rachel doesn’t come off too well when Cosima finds a way to bust Sarah out of her imprisonment.

Project Castor

Just when we thought there were no more surprises in store, we realised that Sarah and co were not the only clones.

And we’d been following one of them for weeks without even realising it.

Enter Project Castor.

The suburbians have moves!

When Alison and Donny start dealing drugs, they enjoy their newfound wealth in one of the most entertaining ways possible.

Genius!

Baby ox

Another hilarious moment from Donny is when he is getting to know Helena.

He doesn’t quite know how to react when she compliments him…

Paul’s demise

Paul was a closed book for so many episodes.

So when we finally saw his true feelings come to light just before his demise it was really emotional and beautifully done.

What about Beth?

The show began with Beth’s death and her presence continued to be felt for a long time beyond that.

It was incredibly moving then to have a look back at what had led her to that point.

Shower revenge

Violent, scary and surprising, this insanely tense sequence was gripping and jaw dropping.

Intimate and terrifying between Sarah and Helena, this was a real turning point in the show and in what viewers thought of Helena.

Orphan Black is on Netflix UK and a new episode lands every Sunday… but not for long.
