The curtain closes on Doctor Who series nine with the show’s first three-parter since series three and while it’s not perfect, the extended finale is a fitting end to what has been one of NuWho’s most consistent seasons.

Doctor Who’s season of two-parters carries on with the return of the Zgyons, fan-favorite baddies from the classic series who have reared their suction-cupped heads a few times in NuWho.

Orphan Black has been on a roll in the back half of the third season, focusing back in on character—rather than plot—with tremendous results. Unfortunately that forward momentum stalls in this episode, as Sarah, Felix, and Mrs. S head to London to find the Castor original. While their trip across the pond allows for one of the episode’s best moments, Mrs. S rocking out with her former band, it also leads to the latest development in what has been a disappointingly plot-heavy season. It’s fun to watch Maria Doyle Kennedy perform one of her own songs (“Stuck”), but that’s not why it’s such an effective moment. The jam session gives much-needed nuance and background to the woefully underserved Mrs. S, humanizing her and letting the audience, and Sarah and Felix, see a bit of what she was like before Projects Leda and Castor took over her life.

Sarah makes a risky gamble to get Rachel to translate Duncan’s code while Castor proves itself more resilient and powerful than it appeared, in a episode with some compelling character development.

So far this season, Alison’s subplot has struggled, partitioned off from the rest of Clone Club and driven by one out of character move after another. Thankfully this changes with “Community of Dreadful Fear and Hate”, which folds Felix and Cosima into Alison’s story, making it instantly more relevant. It’s great to see Felix helping out with a more mundane problem than usual and in one of the episode’s best moments, we finally get to see Cosima try to pass as one of her sisters.

Your long winter of discontent is almost over, Clone Club. It’s time to stop binge-eating your feels away while watching Cophine videos on loop, let some sunlight in, and get ready for the third season of Orphan Black, which premieres on April 18. To help get you in the mood, BBC America has released a …

While many may still be reeling from Tatiana Maslany’s recent Emmy snub, fans of BBC America’s Orphan Black have something to get excited about as the show makes the jump from the small screen to the pages of comics. In a recent press release, IDW has announced that the show will be coming to comic …

BBC America has acquired A Poet in New York, a film about Dylan Thomas’ final days. The drama is written by Andrew Davies, BBC’s venerable screenwriter most acclaimed for the 1995 Pride and Prejudice as well as more recent well-received series like House of Cards and Little Dorrit.  It features several beloved BBC actors, with Tom …

There’s certainly plenty left to explore here, and even if the series moves further down the path of plot development, this world is one of television’s most interesting.

“Episode 5” paints a much clearer picture of who Simon really is by going into who he once was. Leave it to this series to find the most heartbreaking narratives possible.

Rachel learns a potentially game-changing fact about her infertility from her father as Cosima’s condition worsens, while Art and Felix deal with the entrance of a new clone into the fray in a compelling episode.

If I’ve been missing some of the more character-driven moments of In the Flesh’s first season during this plot-driven sophomore season, “Episode 4” instills nothing but confidence and satisfaction.

In the 2012-2013 television season, a little-buzzed-about show made its series premiere on BBC America, on the heels of science fiction juggernaut Doctor Who. That show was Orphan Black, and over the course of its first ten episodes, it firmly formed its own identity, emerging from the shadows of all the other series in its …

Even more so than in either of the season’s first two episodes, “Episode 3” allows In the Flesh to effectively utilize its extended episode order to tell a story that isn’t entirely necessary, yet it succeeds so much almost because it’s not necessary.

After a season premiere that was a little bogged down with trying to re-establish the world of In the Flesh, treading slightly too-familiar ground, “Episode 2” is an example of everything this series does right.

In the Flesh most likely went under the radar last year during its three-episode first season on BBC America. The series is a British import and, like Sundance TV’s The Returned, is a fresh take on the zombie genre.

There is a long tradition in storytelling of remakes, retellings, or in other ways copying someone else’s idea. Television is no exception. This fall season, two new British imports are on the way, Prime Suspect and The X Factor, and several of the most popular returning series originated across the pond as well. America has …

It is hard to believe that I can’t wait for the end of summer, but with the return of Doctor Who Series six only days away, I find I am eagerly looking forward to August the 27th, when the Doctor returns in “Let’s Kill Hitler”. Luckily, the prequel for the upcoming half of the 2011 …
