I spent the beginning of this week binge-re-watching the first four seasons of this show in anticipation of it's fifth and last season. The whole series has been a solid 10 (best of the best) out of 10, for me, in no small part to the talent of Tatiana Maslany, who finally was awarded a long overdue 2016 Emmy for her work (and she was up against some pretty impressive talent). She didn't qualify for a nomination for the 2017 awards, because of the spacing between the 4th and 5th seasons, but I wouldn't be surprised if she doubles downs for last season, and the 2018 Emmys. She's not being overlooked any more! Fellow actors, reviewers, fans, and the industry are all touting her as the greatest actor of her generation. Although Tatiana anchors the show, she has given license to the creators and writers to create to a great diversity of clones, and depth of story - hats off to that team, as well as to the ensemble of actors that allow the storytelling to breath and fill out its world.. One of my favourite show of all time. Rooted in our Canadian acting, writing, producing, and geographic talent. Can't say enough about how good this is. I can't finish this review without mentioning how impressed I have been with how it has addressed a lot of the social issues of our day, by not characaturizing them but seemlessly integrating them into the whole experience of life - the characters are not reduced to one social characteristic, but are whole people trying to figure out life. Well done!
