Orphan Black is one of my all-time favourite TV shows, a complete tale well-told in five seasons. Imagine my surprise and delight when Serial Box announced they had cooked up a sequel! The big win here is that Tatiana Maslany is back as narrator, ensuring an easy transition from screen to audio. Another win is that we find out what happened to our faves.
The Next Chapter picks up the story eight years later, with a plot spanning a covert CIA cloning program, governmental paranoia, genetically-targeted biological warfare, and the ethics of the security state vs the protection of individual liberties. It is thumping good fun, introducing an array of new characters and ratcheting tension through a familiar escalation of plot twists to deliver a high stakes conspiracy that puts all of the Ledas – and their CIA cousins – at risk.
A worthy sequel - roll on Season Two!
