Sure, it might risk alienating those around you, but it\u2019s still worth proselytizing this TV show if you can convince even one person to check out this modern-day masterpiece. For me, that show is <em>Orphan Black<\/em>, and I\u2019m here to spread the good news that you can now stream this Emmy-winning drama on Netflix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The plot of <em>Orphan Black<\/em> is that a group of young women discover that they are all clones created by a shadowy organization. They try to discover the truth but are threatened by numerous foes ranging from shady biotech execs to crazy religious fundamentalists. And what they discover about themselves and the powerful forces that brought them to life may fundamentally change the world if it ever comes to light.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Tatiana Maslany and Tatiana Maslany in <em>Orphan Black<\/em><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">All of the female clones in the show are played by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/tatiana-maslany\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Tatiana Maslany;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Tatiana Maslany<\/a>, best known to Marvel fans for playing the title character in <em>She-Hulk: Attorney at Law<\/em>.

In addition to Tatiana Maslany\u2019s Primetime Emmy, the show won both a Hugo and a Peabody award.

Critics generally praised the show for its powerful acting (especially that of Tatiana Maslany), tight scripting, and its epic story.
