Has anyone watched this? I guess the second season is getting ready to start April 19 on BBC America. They are showing the first season right now. Watched the first couple episodes and it's pretty good. Definitely want to see more. It gets really good reviews. I guess it's also available on Amazon Prime.

What's it about?

Well, I've only watched two episodes but I also just read an article about it in Entertainment Weekly so that's where I know most of the info from. It's about a girl, or young woman who finds out she is one of several clones that were developed as part of some kind of scientific experiment. She and some of the other clones are trying to figure out why there were made. I guess there are some people after them too, a religious group that thinks they are an abomination.

One actress plays all of the clones and she's pretty good so far. It's kind of mystery/sci-fi/suspense.

Sounds interesting. I bet my hubby would like it. He's a Sci fi fan.

It's a GREAT show! Very interesting premise (if you like sci-fi stuff) and lots of twists and turns. But the best part by far is the lead actress. She pulls off playing multiple characters so effortlessly, I always forget that they're all played by the same person. She was nominated for a Golden Globe this past year, and it was well deserved.

The show is exciting, funny, heartbreaking, and occasionally tense. Almost feels like a Whedon show in the way it blends genres. I binge watched it online and then ended up buying the DVDs. Can't wait for Season 2!

I'm glad you like it Andyroo. I agree that the actress is great. I've seen six episodes now and today I'll get to see episodes 7 and 8. BBC shows two each weekend. I guess theyr'e doing it that way to build up to the season 2 premiere on April 19. Anyway, I'm loving it.
