Orphan Black (TV Series) Instinct (2013) User Reviews

Continues the strong lead of the pilot, while deepening the world.

[TouchTheGarlicProduction · 7/10 · 18 June 2015]

This was a strong follow-up to the pilot, if not quite as eventful. Early on in the episode there is a reveal from her police partner that deepens the drama in a very interesting way. The episode generally does a good job of deepening the intrigue and expanding the world. I'm very interested to see what happens between Sarah and Paul. The ending makes me wonder how complicated this is going to get. I can see that this is probably going to end up being a vessel for Tatiana Maslany to deliver a very wide and varied performance; there is endless potential when playing multiple characters. I have a feeling that the next episode is going to hook me. At first I did not like the Felix character, but he is growing on me. I really liked the reveal from the police partner and the way the episode unfolded as a whole, but it still suffers from the all too-common 'second episode syndrome'.

A solid second episode

[DVD_Connoisseur · 8/10 · 25 November 2018]

In this second episode, the mystery of Sarah's likenesses continues.

Tatiana Maslany is excellent in not one but four roles! All the players in this episode are great, especially Jordan Gavaris as Sarah's foster brother and best friend, Felix.

The twists and turns mount and the rabbit hole grows ever deeper.

8 out of 10.

So many Sisters

[SJulien12 · 8/10 · 30 April 2021]

This second episode plunges us more into the story, as Sarah meets more and more clones, including among others, the important characters that are Alison and Cosima. Season 1 isn't my favorite, but I love the stressful and mysterious vibe surrounding Sarah's situation. Sarah becomes more and more comfortable in her role as a police officer, and Art finds a way so that she can't leave anytime soon. Two clones died, but it was Sarah's funeral that dragged on to Felix's displeasure. Despite the questionable behavior of the protagonist, we feel that she really wants to see her daughter again. It is interesting to pay attention to the murder of Maggie Chen since it is an important event of the 4th season. In short, the basic idea of the story, that Sarah, a person who can adapt to anything, gets caught up in the game without understanding the rules, is perfect for a television series. Plus, one of the strengths of "Orphan Black" is that the story seems to have been written all at once since everything is so well connected.

[7.2] Hello!, I'm ...

A mild episode still developing, with good acting and some pinches of mystery. Hope it gets more interesting with more focused and serious plots. For now, the only interesting "persons" are the main character and the clones, which is not quite enough.

So Many Twins

[ZegMaarJus · 7/10 · 26 July 2021]

This episode begins with Sarah, Katja has just been shot to death in Sarah's car. Sarah burried Katja's body in the forest. Sarah has to collect Katja's briefcase before someone else does. Sarah has received the briefcase. Sarah found more information about her 'twins' in the briefcase. Sarah found Alison. Sarah meets Cosima. Solid episode of Orphan Black Season 1, many new characters this episode. I'm excited to see how this series will continue!
