Link Round-Up: Orphan Black

"Helena" by Mellifera38

There are few prominent roles for women in the television today, and Tatiana Maslany was lucky enough to play nine of them on Orphan Black, which has just recently concluded with its 50th episode. While the series was never a ratings darling what with airing on the BBC, it did have boast a devout following (the #CloneClub) for its sophisticated portrayals of feminism and femininity.

The show garnered praise and buzz for (previously unknown) lead actress Tatiana Maslany. EW proclaimed early in the show's run that "There's no better special effect on television right now than Tatiana Maslany playing a variety of clones." In fact many critics are currently of the opinion that Tatiana Maslany is the Best Actress on TV.
