In a world where human cloning is rife, “Orphan Black” explores the moral and ethical implications of cloning in this dramatic Sci-Fi thriller
Following a spectacular first season of “Orphan Black”, Sarah Manning and her sister clones (played by Tatiana Masalany) embark on a journey where they must discover who they are and who created them.
Season 1 followed their journey, alongside Sarah’s brother Felix Dawkins (played by Jordan Gavaris), in discovering where they came from, whilst fighting against the fanatical religious group, the Proletheans, who make it their mission to wipe out the clones.
“Orphan Black” Season 1 set the stage for an exciting showdown between science and religion. In the next season, expect the battle to commence and the killing to begin anew. Fans of action will be pleased.
Nature under Constraint
In Season 2, every episode title comes from the words of Sir Francis Bacon. After the events of Season 1, Sarah fights to discover the truth to Cosima’s biology and her strange respiratory illness.
Cosima must begin to understand herself, while her sister in Sarah looks for asylum after the capture of her foster mother Mrs S (played by Maria Doyle Kennedy) and Sarah’s Daughter Kira (played by the young Skyler Wexler).
Governed by Sound Reason
The attacks continue on Sarah and her clone sisters. Sarah continues to seek out the secrets of her birth, while her clone sisters struggle to cope with the real world and to adapt to life again.
If you think Tatiana Masalany is beautiful, as many men do, you will love that we get to see more of (multiple versions of) her.
The mysterious biotechnology firm the Dyad Institute also returns and the characters must learn to adapt to life alongside them again.
“Orphan Black” is not only a story of creation. It’s a story of adaptation, and where human clones would fit in the real world.
With enemies on all sides, the fight continues just to survive, and Sarah’s family is caught in the centre of it all. Who will survive, and what twists will come? Stay peeled to Season 2 of “Orphan Black” to find out.
“Orphan Black” Season 2 premieres on Jul 2 on Lifetime, StarHub TV Ch 514.
