    I absolutely loved Orphan Black. Have high hopes for this.

    Anyone watching this?
    4 episodes in and I'm just not feeling it too much
    Intriguing concepts but the story is sssoooooo boring
    the Know It All teenager girl being the smartest person in the room troupe is wearing thin
    Even the main protagonist is looking at her like. . . seriously?
    I fell asleep watching the 4th episode and I'm not sure I want to go back and watch it

    Wife and I have been watching but they need to speed it up with some actual reveals that provide some connective tissue between this and original series. We are fans of Ritter but unless it really picks up, I wouldn't be surprised if its a one and done.....

    It's beginning to feel like that it is just leveraging the Orphan Black name
    to tell a totally different story.
    There doesn't seem to be any connective tissue to the original Orphan Black

    none that I have seen yet.

    One More Thing: Why is it significant that they were "Printed out" rather than simply a clone?
    Printouts have memories versus clones?

    There are two main connections with the main doctor being
    Sarah's daughter Kira from the original and Felix popping up
    but nothing else outside of that. Agreed on that distinction on the second spoiler, it better mean something at some point.....

    Yeah, I'm really trying to enjoy it but just doing much for me and definitely not on the caliber of the original.....

    Definitely the hotter of the two clones who have done MCU TV Shows.

    I finally Caught up -Except the most recent one
    It's interesting but still not amazing or anything

    Too many convenient coincidences and smart people doing stupid things to help the Protagonist
    The Snarky Teenager being the smartest person in the room is a trope i can do without
    I am not a believer in Genetic wisdom . . .even when printed
