It's not a light show, though. Not dark exactly but so many sad storylines that stuck with me. I had to stop watching after a while.


I find childbirth and complications therein much more depressing than clones and imaginary monsters.

I loved the first season! Couldn't make it through the second season.

Also really loved Stranger Things. Winona Ryder is great, as are the kids.

Ok except Orphan Black is dark, and the monster in Stranger Things is terrifying. Two of my most favorite shows though!

Great show. Not my usual cup of tea but I loved it.


Best. Show. Ever.

Maybe skip the last season. It went dark that last season.

Yes, yup, this. Every woman...the sisters, girls, patients, etc...are incredibly strong women. You'll love it.
